Totally! One of my first jobs as a teenager was at a tech call center. I'm very familiar with how this works and I get it, most customers have no clue. I sometimes wish there was some kind of certification that you can show that gets you to 2nd line support instantly.

I once had a lot of packet loss on a Verizon fiber connection and I told the first line this and told them I could send them traceroutes and pinpoint the router on their network that was broken and they instantly connected me to a network engineering that was super happy with all the recon I had done. And they fixed it quickly.

And another time I had an issue with a Ring camera and they also use an overseas call center that sucks. The camera would go offline all the time and we had identified that there was something up with the power supply or power circuit, but they had me do all sorts of crazy stuff like getting on a ladder to make sure I had the correct serial number. At some point I lost it and told the lady to stop using her script and connect me to 2nd linez which she luckily did. Second line Mike was very chill and was like "oh right, I guess it's either the device or the power supply, so let me fill out the RMA and we're good to go. Took him 3 mins, while I'd been on the phone with their first line for days...

Thanks! Yeah, they are so incompetent. I've been in IT for a very long time and I just hate when TS comes with "clear your browser cache" or some crap like that. Especially when I'm like "the ACK on the SYN packet my host sent doesn't come back"

I just moved all my domains (except the one that Hostgator is holding hostage) to Porkbun and it was a breeze! Thanks y'all for the recommendation!

That's a good tip! Thanks!

Thanks for that. I used to use Google Domains and when they disappeared everything they moved everything to godaddy. Might be a good idea to look at alternatives though..

Yeah, I've been thinking about that. I don't personally own the domain, but it's for an organization I'm part of. I have all my own domains at godaddy, which works fine. Regardless, I need that EPP code.. :S

This. I'm Dutch and male with three names and I once was in hospital in Sweden going in for X-rays and I overheard the Nurses being all confused, because my first name they skipped, my second name they didn't understand and my third name is Maria (it's a Catholic thing), so I was wheeled in as Maria.

But yeah most of my swedish friends go by their second name. Carl Fabian is Fabian, Johan Eric is Eric.

As a Vue noob I tried pretty much all of them and eventually settled with Nuxt and Primevue. Mainly because I wanted to use vueforms and styling between the two is easy through tailwind. I stuck with vuetify for a bit, but found the material look a little outdated.

Yes they do. I've seen it a few times. And they dealt with some upset guests very professionally.

LeBlanc (at least in Cancun, so i assume in Cabo as well) has a policy that they'll remove your towel when you're gone for more than an hour. Seems to not impact their reviews though..

I'd add a sick ass Jaguar...

Y'all are awesome!

I'm surprised that nobody mentions that OP should really try to traceroute and figure out where the delay happens, rather than jumping to conclusions about wifi or routers. Some mention WinMTR without any explanation why.

1.1.1.1 is a Cloudflare ip address and the path from OPs machine to it is likely more than 2 hops, which means that there are multiple points where things can go wrong. Additionally the Internet uses dynamic routing and the path to (and from) a particular IP address might not always be the same (or you might not even hit the same server with every subsequent ping), so without any additional information any guess to what is causing this is as good or bad as any other.

So, what OP should do is run traceroute first in order to localize the cause of the high ping and go from there. WinMTR is a good tool for this since it runs traceroute continuously and can show statistics over an extended period of time. If the delay is caused by something outside of OPs network, most of the time you're out of luck. If it is caused by a router inside OPs ISPs network, you can inform them. If it is inside OPs network you might want to investigate that further, like figuring out if it's the router, or wifi, etc.

I once noticed a lot of packet loss on my Verizon fiber connection and after ruling out my own wifi by making sure I was hardwired, I saw a router in their network causing delays. I contacted their customer service and they indeed confirmed it was a broken router in their network.

This was exactly what I did! Thanks for capturing this for prosperity sake!

What do you mean? What technology I used?

I like to use increment and before together. When I find a generation I like I only have to fix the seed and not even decrement the seed myself.
