Just wanted to post something now that I am up and running on fiber. First of all, the installer (Servante, I think?) was terrific. Polite, friendly, and willing to answer any stupid question I had. Very neat install, too. I'm using my own router (Tp-link AC4000) and I can run a speedtest with their app through the router. I'm getting 913 down and 902 up. On a laptop in the same room on wifi, I got 600 with fast.com Now on my iMac which is in a back bedroom, behind a washer/dryer and some plaster walls, I get 250. Nope, that's not gigabit. But that's reality. It's wifi, a long distance and no line of sight.
In any case, I'm coming from 12.2 with your fusion service, so the difference reminds me of when I went from dial up to dsl the first time, lol. It's just a whole new world! Not only have the little "drops" completely disappeared, and I can download while watching Netflix or actually surf the web while downloading, but everything downloads in seconds now or maybe a couple minutes - compared to hours or half hours.
Do I care if it takes me 60 seconds to download something instead of 30, heck no. If I cared then I would run cat 7 from the router to my iMac. But it's plenty fast and stable to boot. So happy to finally have it, thanks, Sonic!!!
