I have been told Cox is working on it in the area and maybe sometime first second quarter next year. But I think they said something about 3.1 since the neighborhood I'm in is new and they wouldn't have to run fiber line. AT&T is in here as well and LUS is looking at it too possibly. Would be nice to have access to all 3 to pick from but I'm not holding my breath.

Not that I download things often, but my ATT has some of the slowest download speeds in the history of download speeds. Took around 12 hours to download a game on my xbox.


Absolutely unreal.



Maybe because you have a shitty internet plan

t is on track to exceed the 12.5 million locations by mid-2019.

Great, between ATT, Cox, Comcast, and Google, in another Three Years about 10% of the country will have access to something that 90% of South Korea has had since 2006.

Well, we are behind but South Korea is like the size of Alabama and Georgia combined. America is what, 48 times that size (counting by states).

Up to 1200M fast WIFI speeds on 5.8GHz (433Mbps) and 2.4GHz (300Mbps) bands. 5.8GHz is more stable and with less interference give you a better experience for lag-free HD video streaming and gaming.
