Will EMI/RFI Shielded Power Line Conditioners Help Stabilize a Verizon Connection While Streaming?

Howard_Hunt

I game through a remote Shadow PC and recently took a deal offered by Verizon on their Gig fiber package (moved from Xfinity cable 800mbps). While overall latency has measurably improved (9-14ms from 19-24ms), audio transfer from my remote PC has become unstable and crackly unless I reduce the sound quality of the stream. While average latency was higher with the Xfinity connection, the latency graph was much more stable and I never experienced this issue; there seems to be more "noise" in the Verizon graph (I was even surprised by a couple packet drops, including one temporary connection loss). Is there a way to mitigate this instability while keeping the benefits of higher speed / upload? I've read on some forums that plugging in the Router to a good Power Line Conditioner can help with this, but is it worth the cost? Is there an easier solution?

Thank You

Greetings! This does sound like you are running into packet loss. I would double check to make sure the connection on the local network is stable, if it is I would recommend reaching out to Verizon to have them take a look!
