Frontier Fiber speed test

Frontier's fibre tiers commonly run from 200 Mbps to 2 Gbps, with 5 Gbps and 7 Gbps offered in some markets, and they're symmetrical: upload should land within a few percent of download. A wired test at 85–95% of plan is normal. On Frontier DSL, 10–115 Mbps download with a few Mbps upload is typical, so compare against the speed in your bill rather than the fibre figures.

Most often the test device is the cap. A laptop on Wi‑Fi 5 will top out around 400–600 Mbps, and a 1 GbE port can never read above ~940 Mbps. For the 2 Gig plan you need a 2.5 GbE port and a Wi‑Fi 6E/7 router. If a wired 2.5 GbE test still reads under 1 Gbps, check that the ONT-to-router cable is Cat 5e or better and that the router's WAN port is multi-gig.

Check the bufferbloat grade. Fibre lines rarely congest, but the supplied router can still queue traffic badly when someone uploads. A grade of C or worse points at the router; enabling SQM or a smart-queue setting, or swapping in a router that supports it, usually fixes it.
