October 12, 2023 I have very fast internet, the speed being almost equivalent to 100mbs constantly. As a gamer, that is very useful in downloading games quickly. I hardly ever lose connections to games (unless the internet goes down) My internet does go down about once a week, working from home as well, that isn't very convenient, but I can just wait for it to go back up with no problems and usually a time when it can get back up if longer than an hour. Very happy with it. As with price, it is expensive, but I'm paying for what I get, around $110 a month, for very high speeds.
