Getting 925 down/846 up right this second off my main node, so it's OK.

Thanks - I assume you're on the 1 gig plan?

Bingo! And that speed test was alongside me mindlessly streaming Twitch, so the connection's good and beefy.

Interesting… I’m grandfathered into free Gigabit (my total bill is only $71.99, I pay for Digital Voice and a router, and Gigabit is $0 on my bill) but my speed is only 300/330. My phone could be connected to my 3rd-party repeater though. It’s usually around 300 on the main floor and 50 upstairs (router and everything is in the basement of a two-story rowhome)

I pay 65 for gigabit with Fios. At least with internet, no taxes and router is free. Speed is great, solid.

For anyone who pays a router rental fee, buy one off eBay and return the rental, you’ll recoup the cost quickly.

If you’re just getting internet, you don’t even need the Verizon router. They’ll install the ONT and then you let them know you’re using a 3rd party router. Just make sure it can handle gigabit.

Might be worth seeing if you can run CAT5 up off the panel and into your ground floor — that’s what ours does, and along with a mesh network, we’re getting gigabit everywhere, even into the back yard.

What speed do you get with a wired connection? 300 is normal for Wi-Fi unless you're using 6 or 6E.
