The Huawei GPON router that comes with SF, doesn't seem to have a QoS or bandwidth control?

Most ISP supplied garbage doesn't come with features like that, and even if they did, the ISP can choose to hide those options from the user. Huawei gives ISPs a lot of customisation on what can and can not be changed by the customer.

I am also planning to install StromFiber 10mb connection but before I like to know the experience of people regarding the online gaming for games like Fornite, PUBG, CS-GO and Rainbow Seige Six etc?

1)What is the minimum and average Ping you get? Is their any packet loss too?
2) Is their any issue faced to connect to different gaming server from PC?
3) Connecting and playing PS4 and Xbox online/Multiplayer experience?

Also share your Netflix experience for watching full HD movies/shows?

It has been mentioned many times on this forum.

StormFiber uses carrier grade NAT which means they are assigning you a private IP, and then the ONT is assigning private IPs to the devices within your network, essentially creating a double NAT setup.

Port forwarding / DMZ can not help you in this case.

You'll have to message or email StormFiber and ask them for a public IP if they offer it. Tell them you need it for gaming. If they still have any left, they will put you on the public IP pool, after which most P2P games will work normally.

Hi, my usage normally is youtube, mobile online games (clash royale), torrents sometime. Will this double NAT be a problem for me? Clash royale is an online game and connects to server.

I never use my ISP's DNS, even if they fallback to Google's. Always manually enter Google or OpenDNS.

Their reply;
this is to inform you that ICMP Packets are blocked on Storm DNS due to which you are not getting Ping response from DNS, if you have any domain resolving related issue kindly check by using “nslookup” command on your PC/Laptop and let us know if you are facing issue in services.


it means we can still use their default dns (202.163.118.203)but cannot ping right?
