I'm an IT technical person but not into network. This is my suspicion (I don't have any other way to explain this):
To put it as bluntly short as humanly possible, the router provided by TM is so lousy (TM tech: specs are below minimum for fiber optics)
Long version: the router fails to cope with a more congested/stressed fiber optical signal which is clearly evident during peak hours that your connection gets 'flooded'/over buffered/bufferfloat to the point where your connection stability degrades. In other words, your router is bottle-neck(king) what is otherwise a really fast and stable connection. A better router that has a much better specification are able to handle this amount of stress and therefore would result in a more stable connection overall

Just want to clarify further regarding your experiment, do you mean that the router or the BTU unit that is the bottle neck? Because from my understanding is that the BTU is actually doing the signal conversion from "fiber optics" to give us "connection to the internet"; and that the router is just distributing the internet connection.

In other words, would the router's performance affect fiber optic signal stability?
Please correct me if i am wrong.
