What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal?

@uberwaltz,

I wonder if your AT&T speed test results above are impacting your Tidal performance.   Please ask them to check your signal strength and all other items to ensure your cable line is working okay.   NOTE:  Mine was not.   I need 2 technicians on-site to solve these issues. And, ALSO have them inspect your outside cable box to ensure all is okay (mine was not wired correctly).  

On December 28th 2017, Tidal emailed me with the following info:

"Please note:  MQA Albums can be found at “What’s New” and select “Masters” in the Albums section. The limited view of MQA albums in this section is a known Tidal issue.  The Developers are aware of the limited search capabilities for MQA albums. They are working on advanced search capabilities for MQA.  I am sorry for the inconvenience".

It is my understanding that Tidal has 5,000 MQA Coded albums but my Aurender N10 server and your Vault only displays 500.   The Absolute Sound also mentioned this issue.  

I emailed Tidal and asked them if their advanced search capability for MQA work mentioned above would enable Aurender and Vault to display all 5,000 MQA Coded albums?   If Tidal has 5,000 MQA Coded albums, it would be terrific if they were indexed as MQA so that Aurender and Vault could display them on their applications.   I will keep you posted. 

So after talking with AT&T this morning it appears they made an oops!
When they upgraded my service to 75mbps (fastest available in my area), they "neglected" to inform me that they would also need to install a new modem to handle those higher speeds!
That is now occurring this Saturday and I also insisted on a refund for having paid for higher speed for 6 months and not having got it due to their error.
So will see how it fares after the new modem on Saturday which should allow the 75mbps to take place, thanks to all for the suggestions to tackle the base problem.
I "assumed" that as I had 75mbps service I was actually getting said service, see where assume got me here......

I will likely still consider my options once speed is resolved anyway.
May give Spotify a trial and possibly Quboz once launched here...cannot stand Jay-z......lol

FWIW - using Tidal and Spotify (premium/hifi subscriptions to both).  
SQ with Tidal is better but I also experience periodic buffering dropouts, esp. late at night though rarely during the day.  Never happens with Spotify.  Am paying for Blast Xfinity high speed internet service.  SQ with Spotify is NOT terrible - just not as "vibrant" as with Tidal.  Spotify library is definitely superior to Tidal and I like the interface better.  The Browse/Discover function from Spotify is a great way to discover new music.  BTW for all the Tidal fans, it was interesting to me to see that not all Tidal streamed music is uncompressed.  While much (most?) of it is (as witnessed by the Aries Mini/DS Lightning file data display) I do notice the occasional AAC file; e.g., Joe Bonamassa's "Blues Deluxe".  Still sounds very very good.
