well, I thought that cox was a faster line to begin with.
quote:If true, that's pretty shitty. Are you sure you were only getting 2Mbps and not 2MBps? Factor of 8 difference there, so if you were getting 2MBps while paying for 12mbps you were getting quite a deal.
I was paying for 12mbps with ATT and getting about 2.
quote:Definitely.
I guess I need to bump up to the next level of Cox
But to answer your title question, you won't lose any speed by using wireless as long as the wireless is faster than your ISP connection. Generally wireless is fine up until you start getting into the 50mbps range. At that point, if you must go wireless, you will need to look into newer/better wireless hardware (802.11ac).

The problem with the new wireless hardware is that your old devices won't get this speed. So its not a bad investment over the longer term but realize that its probably not going to make much of a difference.

I'm really not sure here. I am definitely in the lower internet tiers if that answers the question

All i know is that when i called Att tech support to discuss the lady said i was "paying for 12 with a minimum of 6", we ran a speed test on the phone and i was getting 2. Her answer on how to correct this was to purchase more speed if I wanted to get more speed.
When I talked to the cancellation department the next day they were great and agreed that the tech support person is generally following a set pathway determined by yes or no answers.
I am starting to see why "cutting the cable cord" can be frustrating as hell

what if it's the modem?
ATT was DOCSIS 3.0, but cable modem DOCSIS 2.0
