Iunno about you guys but where I'm at we can have 3-5 devices streaming a little under 1080p on like, 8mbps down.

I'm looking for service for a condo I'm getting which is limited to AT&T 12Mbps and Comcast 25Mbps. They say 75 is avaiable but may not be consistent due to area.

Comcast 25MB then for sure.

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 27, 2017

much as I hate comcast due to the data caps. 25 mbps will be enough.

I have TWC and my plan is 15 / 1 it handles 2x 720p Netflix streams and gaming online fairly well. 1080p chokes it out a bit. As such 25 down is more than enough. for 3 streams and light gaming.

Most streaming apps now take speed into account and adjust accordingly in terms of quality if your gonna stream with 3 devices I would configure the router to limit each device to 1/3 the max so 8 mbps per device. Or configure it so the PC and main streaming device are unlimited while everything else is manually limited. Setup properly you wont have an issue.

God how do you people cope? I hate my connection and I get 175 down. I guess if all you do is stream videos it's okay. Still would drive me nuts....

i use dial up and run it threw an echo amplifier that is then fed into a virtual color quark detangler that outputs about 25Mbps down and 2.75Mbps up..Seems to do well with two 1080p streams.

Comcast here doesn't have a cap

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x#

Both adsl/vdsl if fttn and coaxial use bus multiplexing.

VDSL is fttn, adsl is either dslam-co or dslam-rt (fttn). Dslam-rt is better than-co, ADSL can go further than vdsl due to attenuation. Pair bonding is a solution for *Dsl services being pushed even further.

Coax topology is the same as balanced utp despite medium used. From a fttn to home, copper or coax to a terminal or tap, from there it is a utp drop or coax drop to nid/splitter, then to iw copper utp or coax.

They do in my area 300gb supposed to be upgraded to 1TB. yet people still get notices all the time. with the pay X cause you went over bullshit. No competition here. Comcast takes 1 town TWC the next. zero overlap so prices are higher here data caps are in effect etc. TWC no data cap but shittier service. ie pay for 50mb average is about 30. 25 averages around 20 but 15 stays pegged. Its why i dont bother to pay more. like $80 a month for 25 / 2

Why would you hate such a fast connection?

Durvelle27 · Mar 27, 2017

Thanks guys. Guess 25 would be the best option

Because it's only 16 up.... stupid cable... and I could use 500 down easy.....

Durvelle27 · Mar 27, 2017

Alright i talked to Comcast for awhile back and fourth and got them to agree to 150Mbps for $59 a month. They will come out and lay a new line to support the service.

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 27, 2017

lucky bastard. highest they offer here is 100 Mbps for $85 not counting various fees and rental charges etc. We also get a $500 installation fee here lol.

TWC has free installation but generally speaking they cant even come close to rated speeds except for the 15mbps option. Also have a DSL option but shudder its awful contracts and extra fees push it up past $60 for 25 mbps which it will never reach closer to 10-12.

Way to go!

brandonwh64 · Mar 29, 2017

The ISP company I work for offers 100Mbps but we are getting more carrier bandwidth in the next few months and the customers that currently have 100Mbps are getting upgraded to 1Gbps.

Vayra86 · Mar 29, 2017

25Mbps is what I have at home and it can be troublesome at times, its more than fine for one user plus someone else doing light internet stuff but two streams are an issue.

I just value low ping the most (4-6ms is nice), bandwidth is for suckas, real geeks have everything on local storage anyway.
