@william53b agree 100%. I would go further to say a few choice words. In my area, it is the only option for anything “high speed”. I tried to cut the cord completely a couple of years ago. No avail. I use a Motorola VOIP modem, about as good as it gets based on industry reviews. It’s the easiest solution. I think the Comcast phone system is garbage, and causes a good majority of the issues. Problem is, to “unpackage” the plan, Comcast bends you over without any roses. They limit bandwidth options, or they make it ridiculously expensive to have higher tiered service. The best bet is to use the highest quality cables you can find, optimize the network as a whole as much as possible and hang on. One thing I will say about Comcast, is overall the service is pretty reliable, at least in my area. Rarely is there a full on outage. Speeds that suck at times, but rarely an outage outright.
Improving Comcast modem signal
Our internet service is Xfinity/Comcast or Verizon. Currently I have Comcast service and use their modem because I had trouble with Netgear modem compatibility with Comcast. The problem is that the Comcast modem doesn’t allow LPS. I don’t know about the Verizon modem. So, for people with modem tweaking experience, any suggestions that will make a notable improvement?
The modem is connected via house Ethernet cable to EtherRegen in my listening room, which is connected to Lumin X1 streamer via fiber optic listening room.
