Actually that has nothing to do with ComCrap vs Spectrum but the router they provide and the wifi devices being used. ComCrap (Xfinity's) new gateway routers are actually pretty good. I am on their 1200Mbps tier and the router is in my bedroom (office) at the furthest end of my home and standing outside the front door I still am gettinng 40-50% of my bandwith (500+ Mbps) on my cellphone and have no issues live steaming 24/7 a driveway cam and doorbell at full res on wifi. Lots of variables.

That being said I wish I had Spectrum fibre. Only option here (just north of 466A) is Xfinity or circa 1990 technology DSL with max of maybe 20Mbps if you're lucky.
