Quick question really, I’ve been surfing around to find a solution to my unending issues with lag spikes. The customer support sent a technician over, told me they couldn’t understand where the problem came from, yet here I sit with one out of twenty ping results going well over 1K on ping.canbeuseful.com (averaging 32 ping that is still sucky, considering that I’m rocking a 250 gb for a few dozen euros per month).
This leads to some horrible game experiences, sometimes my streams die and restart after a bunch of seconds, leading to a loss of audience and money.
So I decided to surf the net and see if something was going on with my hardware.
Turns out that the connect boxes are built on faulty chips that, guess what, cause lag spikes and random disconnections.
That being said, other than cursing the customer service for not telling me this (that’d have saved me a good deal of time), I was thinking of getting a decent router to use in front of the connect box, apparently some people have done that in the past and that saved the day for them.
Does anybody know if that is still feasible, if it works properly, and in case, have a small guide on what to get and how to set it to get a finally stable line?
Thanks for allt he answers and I hope you guys will have a great weekend.

Although the spikes cannot completely be eliminated due to the limitations of Ziggo's current modems; Connect box V1 and V2 lines, the effects can be minimized.
Start by using a single high quality cable that connects directly from the AOP or Splitter to the Modem.
Preferred cables are the Technetix RLA++ or Hirschman with IEC female to male F connector.
After connecting the new cables check if modem values are optimal, stable and interference is minimal to non-excitant . (the post error rate should remain at 0)
Make sure you are using IPv4 Only, effects on IPv6 when last measured (11-2019) were still noticeably higher,
And disable the "Ziggo WiFispots” function within your MijnZiggo account, your modem should reboot and pick up a profile which disables WiFispots.
Perform some tests with your pc's and see if these results meets your requirements. (Wired CAT5E/6)
For further improvements bridge mode + a fast router which supports QoS is recommended and you should achieve a average of 8-12ms towards proper servers with limited variation & loss. Most game servers today are also adaptable to this variation.
Unfortunately Ziggo does not yet provide consumers with non-Intel puma 5/6/7 based modems and we are not yet able to buy and connect our own modems so the problem can not be fully eliminated.
(our government & EU is working on that but VodafoneZiggo is stubborn and are dragging this out)
Kind regards

. However it may not be sufficiently shielded for interference from 4G cellphone networks. I don’t know for sure off course, since there is no exact specification about that on amazon. What length is this cable?
