Sound Quality and Verizon FIOS Fibre Optic Internet


I am hearing a compromise in clarity when running my audio stream using the router provided by Frontier, which is Verizon FIOS (fibre). I’ve tested this, comparing the stream running from my iPhone connected using the hotspot feature to my MacBook Air on my T-Mobile data plan. The stream running this way is clearer and more resolved. It is more noticeable in my circumstance because the setup is very resolving. I here the same thing when listening on my iPhone with headphones (either wired or wireless EarPods). Switching from the stream run over WiFi then over T-Mobile LTE there is an instant improvement in resolution and absolute clarity: Any opinions, reasons why, similar experiences and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Best,

OP, I don’t have answers, but I’m tagging along for the ride,

I streamed Music Videos via my Smart TV’s YouTube for hours last night, the quality of the content made the big difference IMO.

I have this chain:

1. Verizon wall panel

2. coax from wall panel to router with wall wart transformer power

3. ethernet out of primary router direct to office pc with 120v, pc’s internal transformer

4. ethernet out of primary router to secondary router with wall wart transformer power

5. ethernet secondary router to devices with their 120v and their internal transformers.

6. ethernet out of secondary router to switch with wall wart transformer power

7. ethernet out of switch to devices with 120v power and their internal transformers.

It’s a wonder it sounds so darn good.
