It is good to hear that. While I have been reasonably happy with CenturyLink/QuantumFiber, I am glad to hear that the cellular providers are a good option if I need it. Thanks for the feedback.

"Essentially" because two of the three tests were faster in the bedroom, farther from the router. My *guess* is that the rate was bouncing between 300Mbps and 320Mbps and it just happened to be at the higher end when I was farther away from the router.
