uuuuuugh.... What's funny is we went to 500up / 500down plan with Frontier and i get awesome times now. But he still gets 20-40ms pings from his Xbox1 to the fortnite servers and he claims none of his "friends" do.
I tried explaining to him that it probably has more to do with us being in Florida and the location of the servers but he claims his florida friends get <10ms times with standard residential and none of them have the 500/500 plan, and are using Spectrum which i don't buy into.
It's possible, it all depends upon how Frontier routes their network.
Let's say your neighbor has Spectum and gets 10ms pings, and you're getting 30ms pings to the same server.
It's possible your data takes a different physical path than Spectrum's. I don't know where in Floriday you live, but if, say, the Fortnite server was in Atlanta, and Spectrum routed the data directly there, where Frontier bounced it down to Orlando, then back up to Atlanta, that could explain some of the difference.
I'd suggested doing a traceroute or mtr to the endpoint, it will give you a little more insight on the paths your connection takes.
