Hi, I am living by Japan, Chiba Ken for almost 3 years now and I have been using Asahi fiber internet. I play a lot of competitive games which require good connection and high speeds. And I get around 10 Mbps speed from 1gbps speed which makes my games lag and unplayable what can I do to make ot better or is there a better provider pls let me know I don’t know much about the speeds and providers any help would be appreciated.

Did you read the wiki?

are you on IPoE/ipv6, properly configured, with a router that supports v6connect?
You should file a complaint to the Asahi Fiber internet for this issue. If your connection is 1gbps you should atleast get upwords of 100mbps in crowded times.
If they can not resolve it i will suggest you to switch to nuro hikari. Its one of the best internet i have used recently in chiba.
And you should also look for the ipv6. There are not much ipv4 available so you have to share it with multiple users which also slows down the internet.
Check the url below, It might help you setup ipv6 if you have not enabled it already.

Get a VPN ,it prevent Internet Service provider throttling. As it is common for telecomunication company to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion . Do recommends you to get those paid vpn (surfshark, nordvpn , expressvpn) as they tends to be more secure and faster.
I’ve never seen speeds that ass before on gigabit.
I’m on Au Hikari 10G and have never seen it drop below 3-4 gigabits. My max was 8. Granted, you’ll need a 10 gigabit NIC (Asus makes a half decent one)
