That's still the same issue. The router I have here at home isn't capable of handling a gig of traffic, wired or wireless. If my ISP sold me a gig connection, I would expect them to realise that, most likely my router won't support it, and to explain that to me (and, more likely than not, try to sell me a new router themselves).
It doesn't matter that they went from wireless to wired - even when moving to wired, the issue was still that they hadn't realised they would need a new router.
- jonknee 16y agoI guess we're reading it differently. I read it as "before getting gigabit internet I had a wireless router that worked fine, but after I had to use a wired router to get the new faster speed I'm paying for." I don't think they went through multiple wired routers because they were unable to realize that 100 != 1000 (regardless, many new wireless routers are also gigabit ethernet routers).
- corin_ 16y agoI read it same as you, but to me needing a new router isn't "a challenge", it's an obvious requirement that you know about before deciding to upgrade your connection. Same as needing to own some sort of networked device such as a computer in order to use any internet connection.
- jonknee 16y agoIt might not be a new router. My wireless routers at home and work both support gigabit ethernet. But it could be a challenge to have to run wire and what not. I think it makes complete sense.
