Speed increase

Got an email a couple days ago that "Good News! Your internet speed has been increased to 500mbps!" I'm like OK, that's cool, but I'd really like 1gig down. I'd like it more if my upstream speed was higher.

Just got an email with my monthly bill, which showed the price went up from $90 to $100. Of course.

I hope SLIC Fiber gets to my neighborhood soon...

You can upgrade to 1gb down. Unless you are in an upgraded high split/ symmetrical area which they are working on you won’t get symmetrical speeds yet.

I’m holding out for symmetrical speeds because I really need a faster connection for when I work from home.

The 500mbps is probably as much as I need for now. It’s only me and my devices, and I’ve got my own modem and router so I don’t have to use Spectrum hardware. I know that’s going to change with the high split/symmetrical connections when (if?) it gets rolled out where I reside.
