@cmet

If you do not mind to disclose where in Midwest do you live (state would be fine)

Thanks. Did all that. Spent all day troubleshooting through every setting, had ISP Tech out, replaced my equipment and re cabled the front of my house.

I'm certain now it was that NTP, for whatever reason. Using us pool solves it though.

(Not Sierra's issue, but my traffic around DS28 through Zayo is horrendous as well)
