2Mbps and not 2MBps
I'm really not sure here. I am definitely in the lower internet tiers if that answers the question

If true, that's pretty shitty. Are you sure you were only getting 2Mbps and not 2MBps
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

biggest problem with wireless is..well..wireless.
try to stream a 1080p movie served off a PC on your local network from another room in the house and tell me how that works out for you.
wireless is "pretty good" "most of the time" but if my movie stutters it pisses me off to no end.
good old cat5/6 never does that to me ever.
so the bottom line is wired > wireless all the time. wireless is 'ok' most of the time.

Going from 5 to 3 is normal, especially if you are not close to your router or there is a wall/floor between you and your device.
12 to 2 is BS. There was definitely a problem there.
Question. Who's router are you using, theirs or your own? It sucks renting a router but the upside is they can never blame your equipment for their craptastic down speeds.
