I bought my house with the intent of working from home. Spectrum confirmed serviceability until they came out to hook me up - turns out they serviced the other side of the highway. Long story short, I got to pay $5k and wait a year while permits and weather did their thing so Spectrum could bore a channel under the highway. Now I have high speed internet. I consider it part of my house down payment.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoIs it even symmetric? Or is it the coaxial cable “high speed” internet that is 500mbps burst download for a few seconds while they lower everyone else and 10mbps upload capacity spread across a few hundred houses.
- sethammons 5y agoBefore, I had access to 10mbps down, 2 up from charter where I typically got 20% of advertised. That was rough but I made it work. Now we have 400mbps down but usually when I test I exceed that.
