Hi I bought the rocket hub and cellular internet over 2 years ago, possible up to 3 years by now, ever since I bought it I'v been having problems. The latency is all over the place, I play alot of online games aswell as browsing, and I used to watch videos/media online alot aswell but thats impossible with the costly bandwith, but im ok with that.
The problem is the latency is constantly on a rollercoaster of being low, then pretty much spiking to a point where games are far behond unplayable... for instance when playing my latency might be 150-200ms which im ok with... then it will spike to like 1500+ then it comes back down, then spikes back up... all the time. Now to be fair it isnt ALWAYS like this, there are times where it remains in its lower range and things are fine, but this happens in a regular basis.
Also, this isn't just with gaming, often when im having this problem within games its also reflected in browsing, i have 3mb connection yet sometimes websites will take 10 seconds before i even see anything loading up. I just did a speed test and it was 224ms, 1.15mb up, and .02mb down. Thats incredible low for upload speed and im wondering if maby thats part of the problem. Also when downloading something I will also see the rollercoaster of bandwith where i might be getting anywhere from 200-500kbps, fluctuating abit which is normal, then it will suddenly just drop drasticly, sometimes right down to 0 or like maby 10-40kbps... almost non-existant, then after 5-10 seconds it will rise back up to where it was before.
Anyways like I said I'v had this problem for years now, often times when im having problems I will simple go and manualy reset my modem/router(router is in modem), and at very least my internet will be good when it first boots back up, and may last awhile before needing to be reset again or might decline rapidly to where it was previously. I think if the problem was with my modem it would be consistent, but each day is different, usualy when my internet is bad it can last days up to a week before i find that it has evened out again. And at very least im reseting the modem multiple times each and every day, even on the good days, bad days its much worse and often times does very little.
Another thing to point out is that I do live in a rural area, with forest all around me, but my antenna is about 50-60' up on a tower, and while my signal strength does seem to go up and down from low to high, it seems to unrelated to the problems with my internet as my internet could be just fine and still be at low signal, and sometimes its at high signal and be completely terrible(i tend to notice the high signal but poor internet the most as I'm often not looking at it when the internet is fine). Also it seems to unrelated to weather conditions as it has on multiple occasions been a blizzard outside and internet has been just fine.
Sometimes I can't help but feel based on everything i'v witnessed that I'm being throttled heavily at certain times of the day or just in general. Only lately I'v started to feel that I need to try and see if I can find some answers or see if there is something i can do. I have talked to tech support couple years ago which lead me to relising that if I manualy reset modem it would clear up problem sometimes. Open to suggestions to try some different things.
