Hi, I live in San Francisco, CA in the Russian Hill area near the famous crooked or curved part of lombard street. Anyways, would fusion be good for internet? How fast would it be? What would be a typical download speed if I am using firefox and downloading from a site like nvidia.com for drivers? (reliable site to test download speed). Can i watch movies in hd from netflix and use multiple devices on my router? Also, can I play online games without noticeable lag. Also, I want to view my ip camera too, it is a live stream. Lastly, for now, what would be an approximate total cost for the fusion and phone service? I would be switching from at@t. Oh yeah, would this service be faster than 4g sprint mobile broadband in that area? Thanks for all great replies.
We have customers within a block of the super-windy part of Lombard that are getting 4mbps, but the speeds are highly variable. Down around the 500 block of Lombard they're getting over twice that.
As for online gaming, lag is more a function of latency than raw bandwidth. I've personally been quite happy with my Fusion circuit for those purposes. HD streaming on Netflix requires about 5mbps total for a single stream at full quality with no mid-stream buffering. We cannot guarantee a particular speed to a particular location in advance, as the distance and line conditions factor in so heavily to what speeds can actually be delivered.
The total monthly cost for residential Fusion service in San Francisco is $52.72 (of which $12.77 are taxes and fees).
