Last night my connection was shitting hard

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/7/6/AASSvUAADxf4.jpg

I'm paying for 400/50 or so iirc

Shits been all over the place for awhile. So after I reset my modem and router, I go online and look up fiber for my area. One of the first results is my ISP. I click the link and go to the 1Gig Premium ad...it specifies an upload speed of 35, meaning its not fiber.

Might as well hotspot off of a mobile network at that point.

It might be one of those "fiber to the street, but coax to the home" type of setups. Any idea if the fiber is plugged directly into the ISP's router/modem in your home or if it's coax? That was the deciding factor for me in going with AT&T instead of Spectrum. They advertise fiber, but I noticed right away when I was touring the house that the whole house is wired up with coax instead of fiber.

Huh? It's just higher download speed on the same cable I have now.

Anyways, there is fiber in the area, but it's run by the local electric coop, and I'm in city limits so I'm not technically in the coops service area, but supposedly they're working on bringing their fiber into town.

Fingers crossed.
