UPDATE: Yesterday we switched home internet providers from AT&T to Spectrum. It's significantly cheaper than AT&T's service. So far, so good. Thx to @artandtechnic for the guidance on my Google WiFi IP Passthrough issue. Still not getting the max throughput via Google WiFi. But it's enough for the household now. Will keep an eye out for deals on the Nest WiFi Pro. @hardly_ted

@pabloniusmonk Verizon Fios. One outage in over 20 years caused by Comcast and an eager trencher on my street. Poor Verizon guy was out in the cold rain splicing new fibers, but it was fixed in less than 6 hours.

@pabloniusmonk Other. We have access to two that provide over 500mbps: xfinity and kinetic. Anything less and ads make it impossible to use. We use xfinity because kinetic has been notoriously unreliable locally.

@pabloniusmonk The city I live in runs its own broadband service. A couple nearby towns have copied our model for their own use. It took about 3 years after citizens voted for it to get the infrastructure built and about 2/3 of the town wired up. It’s not perfect but better than paying Comcast. [edit] I get 10Gb service for internet, phone, and tv.

@pabloniusmonk One is often limited by what local laws have blessed as the other licensed broadband providers. Choices usually boils down to one cable isp, one telco, and perhaps a sattelite or ‘5g’ cellular solution, all with their own issues.

@pabloniusmonk Community City Fiber often falters as the it is a new business weak on customer service, billing, repair and maintenance issues on one hand, and the fact that the user base can’t give up live sports or traditional live TV enough to hire more city staff and contractors.

@pabloniusmonk I’ve had AT&T Fiber for about a year now, and I’ve been satisfied with it. I switched from spectrum who charged more for worse service. What’s been your issue?

@pabloniusmonk @qurlyjoe Recently changed to WeLink and get much better speed/reliability than the Cox connection we used to have.
