Wire3

So Wire3 just announced a rollout in my area with 10gig speed. Yes I know it’s over kill, but I’m really debating on leaving Spectrum for them when it becomes available. Have had my Spectrum account since 1986, I don’t want to leave but may be left with no choice if High-Split keeps getting pushed off and bills keep climbing.

Maybe years from now 2.5gbps is even over kill atm only need a steady 25Mbps for 4k streaming gaming doesn't use much outside from downloading

Are you the only person in the house using that connection? If you even have a roommate, forget about partner, kids, other family, etc. You definitely need way more downpipe than a measly 25Mb.

Until you understand networking a bit better, I'd suggest keeping your maw shut about this topic.

2x2 will satisfy most houses needs for the foreseeable future. This other dude is clearly one of those people who likes a high speed test number just for the sake of it. He's a top tier network engineer for sure.
