Poor internet, streaming not possible

Three easy - no...it’s not the router... all state of the art with a major home remodel.
We just max out early. We are on the highest tier of their plans. We are looking at combining multiple ISP sources.

Cleeds and crn3371:
I meant a generation behind in hifi audio streaming, I’ve been digital since the beginnings. However, I was content to drop a CD and listen and just use my phone for casual listening.

Yes, my internet really does get THAT slow. My old provider (now gone out of business) broadcast throughout the SF Bay Area and I had a constant 25+ mps.
Now, on Viasat, I vary between 109mps (2am?) and .08 during prime time when everyone is streaming (probably made worse during this stay-at-home situation.) Yes, I cannot even play a few bedtime tunes for my kids unless they have been downloaded.

In the meantime, I’ve dug out an old Blu-ray player with rca outlets and plugged into my 2270.

Reubent - trying to keep it south of $500. Used is fine for me right now. (Saving for my Magnepan 1.7i’s)

I’m glad someone here understands.
From 11pm - 7am I can stream to my heart’s content. Not so good for family life.
we will probably add dsl from ATT to get a steady 3MPS.
The Schiit modi3 looks like a winner for me.
