They also complain about 6-8 PM when everything slows down. Some of my nerdier buddies at work have Xfinity and or the super duper Xfinity, they send me screen caps for 100+ and up speed tests with residential service.

$49 with free shipping gave me a 40% plus boost in throughput even though I was already in the uncrowded 5 GHz spectrum. Netgear doesn't suck for everything, the video server just got a Newegg refurb AC6200 and now pulls the max 57 Mbps from the refurb Netgear AC AP., With the N USB adapter it previously had, 40 Mbps was about as good as it got. The Amazon sourced Motorola plugs into a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite and hoooooo-baby it's a sweet combo. I had to call to get a human that could spell MAC and fix it for me. Didn't work out there, since Comcast residential SUCKS even though their people are perfectly nice and polite in providing incompetent service. To complete my 50 Mbit upgrade, I took the year old device back physically to the Comcast office when I went in to have my Surfboard's MAC registered. It was the older SMC that I browbeat the tech into digging out of the back of his van, not the newer Netgear that sucks. I had a pretty decent "business class" Comcast "gateway" that I was "renting" for $5/mo plus tax. The spendier options might take two years to make money. STOP and buy one at Newegg and save money after about a year,depending on DOCSIS 3.0 compliant device. but if you aren't coming close to the cap much I would agree that you would want to pay as little for the service as possible. I don't mind paying more for the internet because I dont have cable so we stream a lot here. I got a Unifi security gateway that is awesome combined with a UAP-AC and all the devices at the house have no problems. When I upgraded my internet from 20M to 50M my combo wifi router could only handle about 30M throughput.

They wont upgrade your modem for you, you will have to call and complain untill they give you something that is new enough to support the bandwidth they offer.Īlso make sure your router can handle the throughput. I just helped my dad out with his internet issues to find that he was still paying for a DOCSIS 1.0 Surfboard modem from years ago. If you are leasing a modem make sure you call them and make sure you have the latest and greatest cable modem they offered. it drops to about 30M at peak home time 5-8 PM. I can pull down the whole 50M most of the time.
