My home internet service provider is Spectrum (it has been for a long time), which I discussed in some detail in an article about receiving surprisingly good customer support back in May. I have the cheapest internet plan. That plan had been for 300 Mbps. With my MikroTik hAP ac3 router and good ethernet cables, I was able to get about ~370 Mbps out of it with a wired connection. Spectrum recently bumped the internet speed on my plan to 400 Mbps for no additional cost. I finally got around to testing and got 493-495 Mbps on three tests with an ethernet connection. That is a nice increase but it made me wonder whether there is anything I can do to squeeze 500 out of it.
