Much of this discussion goes well over my head.
OTOH, an alternate report . . .
I have Xfinity(Comcast) cable based Gigabit internet service.
The provided modem/WiFi router provides good coverage for the whole house. My prior router is still sitting on top of a
book case - unused.
Speed tests upon boot-up run in the neighborhood of one gigabit, sometimes a
little slower and on occasion, faster.
Just now, Speedtest ran at 940 mbps and XFinity's speed test at 725 mbps. After the computer's been on for a while and
I've been doin' stuff, it all slows down to more like 200 mbps. Not sure why, but maybe all the stuff I have running?
That's still fast enough that I don't notice.
I ran a Cat5 cable from modem/router through basement to gigabit splitter/router/whatever it's called, by the
entertainment stuff.
The point? Everything works fine with no hassle. They did have a few hour outage when someone literally stole a bunch of
cable off poles. Otherwise, highly reliable.
Not a promotional post, just reporting one sample.
