Maybe, just maybe, Comcast should have spent all those government subsidies to update its infrastructure to full fiber and not bullshit like packet shaping, inspection and throttling to improve its bottom line and stop customers from using to the fullest extent the very thing we were paying for.

Before I moved, the local government subsidized fiber came into my neighborhood in 6 months (I was pretty far out there in the burbs) and I had 4gbit fiber for $80 a month compared to the forced triple play package I was locked into so I could have the fastest speed from Comcast (800mbit/30mbit) for astounding $350 a month. Top that off, I had a data cap I nearly exceeded monthly of 1tb and that cost and additional $50 for “unlimited“.

So good riddance Comcast/xfinity.

Fucking hate all the coax providers. Absolute monopoly granted to them in insane. I’m stuck with an even worse one - Spectrum. No other options where I live. Tmo home internet is cheaper but it’s not reliable enough despite a $400 antenna pointed directly at their tower. And CGNAT breaks a ton of shit.

My experience with T-Mobile home Internet was awful but I swapped to a T-Mobile business Internet plan. For the same cost I was now able to use my own hardware. All I had was a SIM from them. At best I have gotten 750ish MB down and 200ish MB up. For $50, not bad if you other option is coax.

$70, not $50. And this breaks the deal: www.t-mobile.com/business/filtering

Not really usable at home.

That’s if you turn on the “productivity filter”. You dont have to.

I don’t think it’s optional. I think that’s what separates home internet from business internet. Could someone that has this service confirm?

A quick Google search says its on by default but you can just and have them turn it off.

I have two lines and the second one automatically had this added. I had to get to an engineer to turn it off before figuring out this was the issue. My first line was not on by default.

Did you have to request specific equipment to get a static or semi-static IPv4 like you get with cable? Did it cost extra?

I purchased my own equipment and I don’t have a static ipv4.
