I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming

@vandy357

I had a similar experience with Comast/Xfinity. Used my own Arris Surfboard with their service and never got the speeds they promised - that I was paying for.

When I upgraded to a better Arris Surfboard (3.1 DOCSIS) the problems remained.

Switched to Verizon and have been getting speeds promised ever since. Verizon Ethernet Gateway solved all issues I had.

No one should ever trust Comcast, and although I have had good service, Verizon is also highly suspect. For my location, those are the only two options. Using your own equipment with those two providers is a way for those providers to dismiss your complaints.

I was on two year contracts for the past 10 years, bee bopping between one or the other because of price. Capitalism was working.

Then about two years ago Comcast and Verizon started colluding with one another and the prices were identical. Could not get internet only for anything less than $125, which was packaged with TV stations.

The gig was up when Verizon offered $50 internet per month for 300mbps, so I cut the cord and have not looked back. Speeds are as advertised.

I would bet that one of your two providers will offer something similar soon which should change the game for you.

Good luck!
