Did they also upgrade your router? I have a sneaking suspicion that this could also be a factor. I'm currently using AT&T Fiber at 300 Mbps and it's pretty good but I'm waiting for a new company (Sonic) to finish building their infrastructure in my neighborhood so I can start getting gigabit service and, hopefully, a better router than the one AT&T provides.
Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG
I just wanted to let everyone know, I just got fiber optic service into our neighborhood. The glass fiber feed into my home instead of Spectrum’s copper feed (for the last twenty years) is like night and day thru my Main stereo system. The sound quality is like a veil has been removed from my LUMIN T2 streamer/dac.
I have paid $100 per month for 300 Mbps with Spectrum - throttled back constantly to 200 Mbps. My new provider in SC - Upcountry Fiber costs $60 per month for 500 Mbps - currently getting 590Mbps.
God Bless competition!!
there is even visual improvements on my 4 K Sony TVs.
if you have access to hard wired glass fiber - grab it!
Happy Listening

@cooper52 Sonic is awesome. Had them for many years (DSL through to gigabit fiber). Great customer support. But I moved, and it's not available in my new area. Switched to Google Fiber, and after a rocky install process, am happy with it. I always buy my own router/firewall, and separate wifi access points. The cheap all-in-one provided by any company (even Sonic, sadly) generally has limited bandwidth and crappy wifi. |
