Quoted from wayout440:Yeah you are in the minority. I've got 100MBbs that actually tests higher, from Spectrum, at less than $50 a month. My son is a die hard gamer with the die hard gaming equipment- multiple PCs and game systems. My daughter talks live to her girlfriends and plays games, and my wife and I will stream a movie with my wife playing on her phone or tablet with all this happening, including running home control and security cameras. No data cap and no additional charges, and no glitches. Believe me, I get a screaming 17 year old boy on my hands if his games lag, even a little.
Your carrier may be mostly to blame, but don't overlook internal wiring and router. We have some top of the line gear on the inside of the house, because the first thing a carrier wants to do when you get a technical problem is to blame your home equipment and wiring.
Yup, my son (17 also) is the same. Heaven forbid his game lags LOL. I have top of the line $400 Linksys router and CAT7 throughout the house. The only thing using wifi, is my laptop. Everything else is hardwired.
Edit: Just tested my download speed. Hard wired = 302Mbps
Wifi = 82Mbps
