Most people can't consume more than a 5 or 10 megabits per second of bandwidth. The vast majority of people who pay for 1000 megabits per second are wasting their money.
[QUOTE=rsmurano;2221796]Most internet providers do a decent job of providing internet services. If you can get a true fiber network provider, get them, stay away from any dsl provider.
The internet provider is only a small piece of the network you need to be concerned about. 99% of the homes have a terrible network setup in their house and probably don’t know what network speeds they are actually getting to each of their devices. You might pay for 1000Mb internet speed but you are probably getting a couple hundred Mb on your phones and tablets. So why pay for 1000Mb when you are getting 200Mb at your phones?
How you can tell if you are part of this 99% group, how many SSID’s do you have access to from your network installer? I bet 2 (which is the default) but you should only have 1. Another way to determine if you are in this group is to go into each room where you watch tv or use your phones/tablets/computers and check your internet speeds and if they are less than 80% of the speed you are paying for, you don’t have a good network setup. If you are paying for 1000Mb internet, then you should be getting at least 800Mb at your phone/tablet/computer (if your devices are fairly new)[/QUOTE]
