QoS and packet management was not working properply for me, when I was setting up vlan ids for pppoe and iptv in the modem. Router was bridged with pppoe.
I was getting ping spikes and stutter even with QoS and packat management. Then I set up vlans separately in the router for IPTV and pppoe instead of setting it up in the modem. Modem is just now dumb endpoint and all the vlans are handled by the router. It's now working flawlessly.
If your pings are fine then no issue.
How to set separate vlan for internet in router ?

What kind of router do you have? Google vlan settings for your router.
It's HG8145V5 from Ptcl and my router is Ruijie reyee RG-EW3200GX but when i put vlan 10 on 802.1q tag vlan 10 on Ruijie it doesn't work but work on bridge when vlan is off but qos doesn't work properly and i want to put iptv on ptcl router only vlan for internet on my Ruijie router

I think you need to use iptv and internet vlan in the router not in the modem. And ftth also has vlan for telephone. I don't know how does it work

Anyone link me to a guide or a post about connecting a VDSL modem to an ONT? I want to use the ptcl VDSL modem that I already have as an extender for my wifi. (and please dumb it down for me if possible bc im not too familiar with networking terms)

Guys I recently got a new connection with PTCL, the 100 Mbps one, I got the ZTE f670L router from them. Are there any optimal settings I need to apply? Also, I have a question why is the download and upload latency so bad while doing a speed test? Also, I think I am experiencing some rubberbanding as well. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

P.S: One more thing is there a list of websites which are banned? Tenor.com doesn't seem to be working for me.

Download/upload latency worsens when you're ACTIVELY using the network and saturating your link. If you use 4G, you'll see it's worse. It's even worse on 3G.

Fiber still has much lower latency. I don't know what's normal, but in my experience, the download/upload latency WHILE the test is underway is never the same as the standalone latency figure (where the connection is not being used).

You could try changing the 5Ghz channel (you'll have to experiment which one works for you), and also try bringing the router out in the open so that there is less interference? Try placing it away from cordless phones and microwaves (and maybe TVs too). You can also try doing the test using a wired cable and see if that helps.

As for the settings: if you're able to access the panel, I usually recommend using Google's DNS servers than PTCL's own servers; some websites won't load on the PTCL DNS servers (and they might on Google's DNS, or you'll get that lovely safe surf message instead saying it's blocked... rather than it seeming like a server issue).

Well, I am using a cable, I was using a TP-Link ap before, but my upload latency has dropped to like 2 now, I believe it was due to the port being 100 Mbps, I wasn't getting a gigabit link before, my download latency is still bad. IDK if my cable is bad or it's from PTCL, The thing is I'm running a cable from another room so it might be due to that as well.

Also, is tenor.com banned by PTA or something?

Tenor has been banned by PTA for years now. Doesn't work on any ISP.
