Hey Head-Case, what's your bandwidth like?

[Dusty Chalk]

That's outstanding for wireless.

[Salt Peanuts]

But it really is a PITA to get this thing to play perfectly nice with the Verizon FiOS router.

 

How so?  Is it as simple as putting it in a bridge mode like the previous models?

[The Monkey]

Yeah, that part is dead simple, but I don't like bridge mode, mainly because I don't like the damn Actiontec. But I also don't want to go through putting the AEBS in front of the Actiontec. But I guess it's working for plenty of other people, so it should be good enough for chumps like me.

Anyone know any MAJOR downsides to bridge mode? One thing that confuses me is how DNS servers are handled.

you lose the ability to reference other systems on your network with .local

Comcast home service, at home.

 

Slightly faster now, a year later.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

 

I'm tempted to get faster -- I've been working from home a lot, and I do a lot of virtual machining -- It's been mostly ssh for now, but it'll soon be full images and whatnot, downloading disk images, etc.

Grahame... You should just post in Slower Forum...

So I got an offer in the mail today 25Mbps.. so I thought I would check.

Guess I don't need to pay Comcast any more money

 

Gets a little better over time....

Almost a Year Later, some  more data points

 

 

 

or a lower ping server

 

[Grand Enigma]

Was paying $80 for 30mb... Decided I didn't need it so dropped to 15mb... A year later I am getting this (reading over wifi from phone)

[Dusty Chalk]

So I should get it and discontinue it?

Also worked for my cable TV that I had for free for 2years in our first apartment. Either lazy or not cost-effective to send out tech to swap out or remove filters

I need to jack into my gigabit to see what I'm getting hardwired.

This was a month ago, wifi on a 5th gen Airport Extreme:

 

 

And tonight, same setup:

 

[grawk]

I pay for 6/1.5 from comcast business.  Still pricey, but no caps, none of their consumer bullshit.

[Salt Peanuts]

 

I like FiOS.

[HeadphoneAddict]

[spritzer]

I really like FiOS...

 

[Grahame]

I really like FiOS...

Who are the other 4% in IS, and what speeds are they getting? ...

[spritzer]

200mb's+

 

I can get those plans too but this one is about 50$ a month for 200GB of foreign download so why spend more.   

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, well, Comcast want $250 connection fee for checking the health status of my connection so I think I will stick with 'Blast!'.

Using Chrome

 

 

 Using IE 11.0

 

I am leaning towards always using IE  11.0 for the 1 MS ping advantage, I just wish the download results went to four decimal places to determine if the IE 11.0 download speed advantage of .05 Mb/s is significant enough over Chrome.  

[MexicanDragon]

Bah. Stupid router. I need to fix the settings. (Wifi, btw. I still need to do hardwired.)

[Salt Peanuts]

^ That looks plenty fast to me.
