Dumping UVERSE for TWC

[chknwing]

lol did you run that speed test over wifi, 11mbps sounds like wireless b, its your router, not your internet.  twc will be much faster when they complete upgrades

[ncdrifter]

I had the same thing, too. I called ATT and they came out and ran a speed test it was down around 10-11 mbs I was paying for 18mbs. He said that the wireless signal was weak and temp. ran a eathernet cord between my Computer and the wireless modem? The speed jumped up to 25 mbs so I later ran the cord out of sight and it's stayed up at 24-25 mbs. No charge for visit or cord. But the monthly rate just jumped about $55.00 per month so I'm looking. This is a stupid game that the tv companies play offering cut rates for a year and then jumpig the monthly rates so high the second year. You would think that they would want to keep a customer for longer than a year or two before pissing them off.

No internet can compete with cable Internet speeds. 

They have the monopoly. 

I also will never get tv services from any cable prodvider. 

 

Catch 22

that's been the case for a while but starting to pivot. You've got Google fiber, att gigapower, fios etc running fiber to the side of the house which will change things.

Yeah giving their name would narrow down my location to about five miles.

This reminded me of this:

I have to wonder if it will matter if you plug it into a cheap home network?  One thing I have noticed is that my speed improves significantly when I move closer to my router.  If I use a wired connection, it more than doubles.  .

Uverse finally made it to my hood and i can get gigapower.  But i will stick with cable internet until fiber comes knocking.

Im liking Roku more and more and if i can increase some sports on there i may just keep net only.

I can even get Sunday ticket if i want.

It's your network at up that is going ti be the biggest problem. Walls are killer. 

II have twc  and usually run 30-40 mpbs. But in my master bedroom, 20ish feet directionally and one floor up, I barely get anything. Can't stream a video. It's the walls! 

So I'm going to pickup an extender this week to repeat the network upstairs.

I bought a network extender a few months ago.  It definitely helps although I have had some problems keeping it connected.  Have to reboot it a lot.

I'm hoping for some luck. It will be almost directly above the router (in a closet), and pretty clear lines to my bed room. 

I wish home networking wasn't such a pain. If I build another house, I'm going to pull cable everywhere for everything.
