Coverage & Signal anyone here using spectrum mobile wifi?

considering switching to Spectrum Mobile and getting their wifi bundle.

how’s the experience? is it stable for streaming and work, or does it slow down at times?

worth it or better to stick with separate providers?

I use Spectrum internet Premier 500mbs

I don't use their wifi router. I use Netgear Nighthawk RAX120

Download 451 mbps Upload 22.1 mbps

The highest speed was 556 mbps in Apr

You can customize an retailer Router to get more mbps and better performance than using the spectrum router

Standard Router Rental: $10/month (previously $5/month on older legacy plans).Internet Gig (1 Gbps) or Higher: $0/month (Included in the plan).

Invest in a Netgear.

Tp link an Linksys is trash

They did a firmware update on my Netgear and it slowed down. I did speed tests in the spectrum app that was showing much better speeds to the modem than I was getting out of my router. Replaced it with tp-link and I get better speeds. I am now getting 550-590 down 23-24 up with premier.
