MexicanDragon Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) ^ This is what I have, yo. Best 70$ (no taxes, no fees, it's just 69.99$ monthly) I spend. **BRENT** Heh, also saw they have something from our mayor. His daughter and my daughter were in the same classroom last year. Good guy. Edited August 30, 2014 by MexicanDragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 We upgraded to Comcast Blast which doubled our speed, but also got a package deal with more features than we have now for $50 a month less. Our monthly goes up by $20 in a year, and back up another $30 to normal cost in 2 years. But we'll save $900 over the next two years when the monthly cost goes back to what we were paying last month. And there is still no contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah my Comcast has been really spotty recently. I get the 105+ they claim at times but other times I get 1.5. WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crappyjones123 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Comcast starting to throttle me again down to 2 mbit. Last time they did this it took 2 weeks of harassing them to get the speeds back to normal. Hopefully they don't cause the same problems again.

Grahame Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) It's faster when there's less contention? And your current router is holding you back? Edited September 27, 2014 by Grahame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well, current router is draft N and has been acting a bit flaky, and new one is (or will be) AC1750. Which I clearly need, even though the only things which will be on wifi are my tablet, phone, work laptops when not docked, and maybe HTPC if I don't feel like routing a cable 15'. Convenient that the apartment is prewired to have two cat5e ports in each bedroom, two in the living room, and one in the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetoole Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Needed a few more network ports than my wifi router had built in, so picked up a new hardwired only switch. It doesn't seem to suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 This is on 802.11n 5ghz wifi off an Asus TM-AC1900. There are 4 laptops goings + things streaming on 2 TVs. I really need to get a 3x3 USB3.0 dongle. Do those exist yet? FWIW, if you have T-Mobile service, you can get this router (basically an RT-AC68U with some software tweaks) for a 25$ deposit if you walk into the store, or they'll do it over the phone and ship it next day (I believe). It's beastly, and I love it. My old WNDR3700 topped out at around 70-80Mbps on this machine. I really need to hardwire something; I have to beat Colin at this game. I was able to get this on my phone a couple days ago. Also, you should all get gigabit fiber. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I wish my town had gigabit service. Hell, I'd be happy if my upload speed would go back up again - I barely get half the advertised speed now for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
