Atlantic broadband internet speed test4/12/2024 ![]() When we got back to the house after taking, say 50 photos, we could count on it taking over a half hour to upload on DSL. We backup photos from all our devices (Android & iPhone, and iPad) to Google. I went from a DSL service that COULD NOT be improved because of my distance from the CO and would have barely supported zoom, to very capable 100Mb service. The BIG thing for me was the high speed internet. The increased speed has stabilized our zoom sessions and downloads happen in the blink of an eye (metaphorically), so I am very pleased.Īs my bill has creeped up over the years I have wondered what I was getting for my money. I am, of course, splitting technical hairs. It's very nicely faster but only 64% of the potential vs. My speed went from 80 down/10 up on a projected 100 Mb service to 160 down/22 up on a projected 250 Mb service. I notice that if I scroll slowly, no errors. I'm wondering if, for those sites, data is being now pulled at a rate faster than they can handle it? It's hard to be sure. In our case: YouTube TV, YouTube, Prime Video and PBS.įaster is better, although at a few sites I have gotten some strange errors that didn't used to happen. Also you can voice search across all installed apps. It can be programed to operate your TV and sound system so only one remote is required. In Dec, out of boredom, I got the new Chromecast with Google TV: We have two ROKU units at home and one at camp, all work well. So, we're happy with ABB now (Shhhhhhh, don't tell them! ) First day, no buffering, 2nd day no buffering, 3rd day. ![]() Cured the buffering.Īround Christmas, just for giggles, we decided to try the Roku again. Finally gave up on the Roku and direct wired the LR TV to the router. Lots of buffering, especially on the living room unit. We had a problem last summer with using 2 Roku sticks to receive YouTubeTV on two different TVs. Doesn't really matter, just that both are extremely faster than in the past. My phone and my tablet are at just over 50 and just under 50, but I can't remember which was better. On my desktop, I'm getting 188 Mbps down and 20 up. In early Dec I received the following from ABB: That has been enough for YouTube TV and whatever else we do. So if I buy my own modem, will they discontinue the monthly seasonal fee and not need to come out in the spring to get things going again?Ībout 2 years I got rid of the VIP package and signed up for just internet at 50 Mbps. Therefore, I assume I'm paying $5.00 to simply keep their modem/router at the cottage since I can't imagine they need to come out in the spring for any other reason if I were to purchase my own modem. I recall it was cheaper to do that than have them come out each spring to restart my Internet (which was the only other choice). I'm being charged $5.00/month for the off season plan and have been doing that for the past five years. I currently have their standard issue combo modem/router that I use for Internet only. I have a (hopefully) simple billing issue.Ģ. I never experienced this issue with Metrocast. This goes well beyond 'we are extra busy due to COVID' and is firmly entrenched in 'we are a rude and inconsiderate company that doesn't care how long you are on hold for'. As in an hour or more followed by me hanging up in frustration. In each case and on multiple occasions I get put on indefinite hold. How in the heck do you get hold of them? I've tried calling and on-line chat. Will wait and see.Īt this point we are pretty happy with the bump in service.ġ. The $63.24 Jan bill was the same as in Dec. Our current service is 255 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up and "so far" the price has not gone up. Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season from Atlantic Broadband.
