re: Dumped Cox for ATT fiber internet

fiber doesnt share speeds with your neighbors, you either get the Gb or you don't..Absolutely the lowest i've ever gotten was in the 985 range with Vexus and its honestly probably throttling once it gets to my Tp-Links

That isn't true. Fiber to home is PON (passive optical network). The backbone to the node provides a single bandwidth that is shared to all homes. It cannot support all customers getting full speed 100% of the time. It required customer activity diversity to provide full speeds to the customer. If everyone on a full node hit a speed test at the same time, they'd get nowhere near the full 1Gbps on GPON (the most common).

maybe i didn;t user the proper terminology, but someone paying for Gb shouldn't be getting 400..I'd raise hell and have them check everything from my home to the source

Fair and agreed unless the person is testing over wifi.

Did you get the 1 GIG or “up to” 1 Gig? I have the “up to” 1 Gig and routinely sit at 450-550 Mb up and down for $30/mo.

if i could get .5gbit for $30/mo i'd jump all over it and never fuss again.
