[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1784575, member: 24160"] You understand it just fine. It is unlikely you'll ever see the 150 Mbps "max" speed you're signed up for. They're using your TC as an excuse for not delivering what you thought you would be getting. If you were connecting directly to their router and getting the same 100 Mbps, they'd be telling you that 150 is best case scenario and depends on traffic. My Time Capsule 4th gen which is 802.11n only ever saw about 100 Mbps (on a 200 Mbps service I was paying for) which was exactly the same thing I saw connected directly to the ISPs router. Just moved to a fiber Gigabit service and I can hit about 110 Mbps with peaks around 220 Mbps on my 'n' TC. By passing the TC and connecting directly to AT&T's router I hit anywhere between 550 & 650 Mbps via wifi on my Mac which does have 'ac' capability. Ran speedtest on my AppleTV a few days ago and it gets between 940 & 980 Mbps via ethernet. And Harry, that's exactly why I'm having a problem trying to decide on moving to a small town or out away from the metropolitan areas. I've gottne use to having all the bandwidth I need for streaming 4k video. [/QUOTE]
