500 megabits per second is not the lowest cost; 200 megabits per second is their lowest cost offering. I suspect most people do not understand their real requirements and blindly spend more than they need to.

I can tell you with 100% certainty, you are never going to get the full 500Mbs download and upload everywhere in the home with a single wifi device installed in an optimal location in most homes here in the Villages. The reason is because once the wifi signal has to pass through a wall or your lanai glass sliders for example, the signal and data rate will drop. How much? It depends on the layout of your home. When someone says full speed all over the home, I'm including the main living space, the garage and the lanai. Many like to have good wifi in the lanai and the glass sliders do a good job degrading the signal and thus the speed. I'm sure there are some exceptions as in your case.
