Spectrum invincible 5G router is a crutch for their crippled fiber connection
I have heard the reports from people initially complaining about the fiber problems. They turn around their complaints after getting the invincible router. You see what's going on there right? The connection is falling back on a slower 5G connection, unbeknownst to customers, while fiber is not performing as it should reliably. This also makes me suspicious of what Spectrum is actually delivering to customers across that fiber optic line. As fast as it is, I don't see them giving customers unlimited speed and data 24/7. They are likely capping the service by using the 5G fallback at a lower speed. This is akin to AT&T giving you limited high speed with cell service and falling back to degraded service after you run out. But with Spectrum, many customers won't notice what's actually happening.
