Just wondering what kind of internet speeds you all get. I have Verizon Fios 25/5 service but it has been much faster lately. I wonder if they upgraded my service for free because of the new plans they offer now.

I was at 31.66 and a minute later posted 28.46
I had Verizon, but switched to Comcast. I had WAY too many problems with Verizon. New WiFi routers had to be replaced twice in 1 year.Just wondering what kind of internet speeds you all get.

This must be one of the forum's earlier threads.

You orobably did get a free upgrade; that's what comcasr doea. I pay for 150mbs with Comcast, but get WAY MORE on the download side. I don't upload much, so slow upload is not an issue for me. Plus, the equipment I purchased allows me to get these results from anywhere inside or outside my house with just 1 router. I also have 15 to 25 people on my WiFi every Friday and still get these results.

That is actually very good news. Verizon is now offering insanely fast speeds (980 mbs) for dirt cheap for new / return customers with a 2 year contact. I now have my own wifi router setup, so I would not need theirs. But I wasn't sure that it would make enough of a difference, thus I was afraid I would be stuck and regret the switch for 2 years. HOWEVER, it sounds like you successfully improved performance by ditching Verizon's WiFi router. EXCELLENT news!!View attachment 109262
I wasn't even sure what plan I have now. Looks like 75/75. I turned off the wifi on the Verizon router and switched to a wifi mesh network. Much better overall for my setup.
I also hard wired everything that can be. Before I finished the basement, I ran cat 6 to every room in the house, hallway for the thermostat, and kitchen if we ever get one of those smart refrigerators. When the laptops are docked, they use a hard wire connection.

Which mesh network are you using?
