[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1703390, member: 234411"] Well, this is a LONG thread and not sure of how much use to many of us except for 'braggadocio rights' - just saying? The most important points are a balance between the fastest internet speed (especially DL) vs. what one may be paying which is typically an inverse relationship - right? So, first the speed one may need into a home network depends on what is being done there, i.e. just internet, streaming, games and how many users need these services. Second, how much is one paying for these faster services whether needed or not? For myself, I'm on cabled copper into my home on a Time-Warner 'turbo' cable plan costing what is shown below, i.e. $45 USD/monthly for about 22 Mbps (using Speed Test) - now for the two of us this is adequate for our needs, i.e. internet & streaming audio (like Pandora & Spotify) and video (usually Amazon or Netflix) - SO, do I really need to go to the next level ($20 more/monthly for 50 Mbps), well probably not - NOW, I'm just thinking here out loud - saving some money for me could be much better spent in going out to a good restaurant and eating some great oysters! ;) Dave .
