Hmm this gives me an idea, I wonder what the price difference would be at home for a business internet connection. I can claim I "work from home" and that would be very nice on my VPN

I've had that thought a couple times. Just sacrificing going down to a 50mb plan but having a 50 upload for the same price would be nice. AND the fact these motherfuckers keep having outages constantly every night, could hold their dick to the fire on their SLA with a business plan.

Any idea if they have business plans for TV with sla agreements?

Comcast won't fix my shit because the issue is they are pumping too much power to my coax line...causes HD channels to get distorted.

Had a tech come out and remove any splitters which improved it, but said "the rest of the issue is us, I've put in a ticket, they should fix it eventually."

Welllll awesommmeeeeeeee

40Mbps outbound on a cable or copper line is pretty good for the ISP's around here. If it were fiber then I'd be a bit upset. ISP's like Metronet that offer fiber give much better outbound speeds than say Comcast (not including their dual-gig line) or AT&T DSL/U-Verse.

Speaking of Metronet, back in June or July they did away with their asynchronous packages and made them all synchronous. So if you had a 500/125 package you now have a 500/500. Rat bastards! My friend is paying about $70/mo for that 500/500 and I'm at $75 for a 300/20 with Comcrap.

LMAO 1000/35

SWEET DEAL COCKSUCKERS
Comcast will give residential a 1000/35 for like $100-120/mo. But it is totally laughable that they think that ratio is anywhere near what the consumer needs. Why would I need 1000 (980) down and only 35 up? Obviously I'm pushing a lot of data, but only in one direction? That's why it is total bullshit that you have to get their "dual gig" package to get 1000/1000, which then runs $300/mo.

Just offer a 300/100 package and you'll have a lot of customers sign up. I'd be totally fine with that.

Dont know why, but we have 2-Wifis
2.4 download speed 36.5 and upload is 11.8
5.0 download speed 179.2 and upload is 11.8
Not setup correctly, or your equipment doesn't support band steering.

Band steering is like the buddy who gives you the hook-up on that sweet deal.

You join at 2.4, and the router see's that your computer can do 5ghz. So it tells your computer about the sweet 5ghz deal and switches you to 5ghz.

2 different wifi technologies. 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

2.4ghz is slower, but better range and less effected by weaker signals

5ghz is faster but shorter range and more dependant on signal strength.

You want to be on 5 if the signal is strong.


Personally at home I have all my IOT devices on 2.4ghz and 5ghz is dedicated to just laptops and phones.

Not necessarily. Only if the SSIDs are the same and password is the same.

I purposely have it setup has 2 completely different networks. My ubiquiti only serves 5ghz and my tplink only serves 2.4

Different ssids and passwords
