Can you please let me know how that setup is? I've got TWC/Spectrum and over the last few months they have gone to complete crap.
I'm thinking of switching to AT&T gigapower and run it with my Orbi system but I want someone to give me a positive experience before I sign a 12 month contract.
I had been a Comcast user for 20+ years and was on a 100 MBPS Down/6 MBPS Up program running about $80/month. Had good service and few complaints.
Finally decided to give AT&T a shot as combining the Gigapower to my DirecTV account had some savings of roughly $70/month between the two. On top of this, I signed up for $70/month for Gigapower for one year, so I decided to give it a go.
I've had the service for 3 weeks and could not be more pleased. I am getting 900MBPS Down and 900MBPS up out of the modem. My current bottle neck is my Netgear X6 3200 Nighthawk router and my EX7000 Nighthawk extender. I am getting 400 MBPS in the same room as the router in 5Ghz mode and 100-150 MBPS in 2.4 Ghz mode in same room.
My office is about 35 feet from the router and my PC is wired to the extender and I get 320 MBPS down and 400MBPS up, but in order to maintain this I am having to reboot both the router and extender every few days to maintain said performance.
This is why I am looking into the X10 Nighthawk or the Orbi RBK50/53 to achieve better performance since my router in in my Family room and can't get it closer to my office, not to mention my son has a PC upstairs directly above my office.
I am pleased with Gigapower to this point.
Hope that helps.
