I was on their the oldest plan for $19.99 with 3 mps. So, I had called Spectrum to get faster internet. I learned a couple of things from my Spectrum tech. (Which is still about ten times faster than the fastest Internet access you can get today.) Despite reaching speeds of up to and exceeding 35 gbps in the lab, it now seems the providers have agreed to cap maximum download speeds at just 20 gbps. Qualcomm's Snapdragon X50 can reportedly deliver 5 gbps now and their next generation modems will be even faster.

That wireless signal will change the world if they can muster the speeds they're promoting. I was talking about the new 5G wireless (like for cellular phones) that's now being rolled out to replace the 4G most of us are currently using. You're talking about the 5ghz band you get with an AC router. You need to know what your devices can use before only having a 5G signal.Īh! I should have been clearer. I have several devices which cannot use the 5G signal. I gave them different names so I can tell them apart. I enabled the 5G signal on my new router but I also have the slower signal as well. In my little system here, I lose 100 mbps using the wireless connections.

My smart TV and desktop computer are hardwired to the gateway using ethernet cables, but my tablets, phone, etc. My hardwired connections test out at around 180 mbps with Comcast, and my wireless connections (latest speed test done just two feet from the gateway) test out at about 80 mbps. You need to know what your devices can use before only having a 5G connections are typically going to give you lower speeds. Pricing and when it'll become available across the country are still up in the air, but if they even come close to matching what they were getting in the test labs, then 5G willl be the way to go. If they can deliver the kinds of speeds they were talking about while the system was in development (35 gbps+) then that will ultimately replace all other forms of Internet access. What options do you have? The new 5G wireless is rolling out now.

What speed are you suppose to connections are typically going to give you lower speeds. It's cheaper over the course of a couple of years and I know if it's fast or up to date. If they can't figure out the issue, would anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do besides going back to ATT. Ridiculous!!!!! I'm always having to unplug my equipment (actually Spectrum's) once or twice to get my speed back to where it should be. Seems like every day, I'm getting single-digit speeds-3.5, 2.9. The issue I'm having is with my download speed (wireless connection). At least with them, my speed was consistent. I hate the idea of going back to ATT, but if they don't fix it, I'll have to. Don't really have much hope he/she will do anything either. Am having another one coming out tomorrow. I've already had a technician come to the house to fix it, total waste of time. Finally switched to Spectrum internet a few months ago and have had nothing but trouble with it.
