I was hesitant to switch but these increasing prices with Spectrum are driving me nuts.

How many devices do you normally stream? How’s the service overall?

At most it's been three (my laptop, wife & I's phones) along with streaming on the TV via a plug-in chromecast. No problems at all.

Service itself is super easy. The device is a combo modem/router. In terms of size imagine two soda cans stacked on each other, it's a little bit wider than that. It's so easy to set up and works immediately.

The only knock I have is that if you game heavily online it may not have the bandwidth needed for you.

That’s unfortunate, I have two teenage boys who would identify as gamers (lol). Maybe they’ll get better with time.

Thanks for the info!

Id still give it a try. There's no contract and the speeds are only gonna get better. They also stress that the modems location in your house can affect the speeds so I might not even be getting the most out of it. We double paid for a month of spectrum too as we figured it out and now just cut the link. You should also get a rebate voucher for the first month so give it a spin.

Would that work with desktop computers? Have an apt with 3 other roommates and two of us have desktops
