My phone carrier (Republic Wireless) actually uses VOIP protocol, but doesn't require a VOIP-specific modem. No problems with that over Spectrum at all.

Is there a separate device for the VoIP connection? Seems like there'd have to be. Spectrum would just be serving as an Internet gateway.

Today I received a postcard from T mobile for home internet.
No up to speed was displayed.
Cost was $60 with autopay and $65 without autopay.
So another possible home internet option.

Thanks. That piqued my curiosity.

It's a fixed wireless plan that uses their 5G network. (Unavailable at my house.) They suggest 100Mbps, with a minimum of 25Mbps.

When I'm in a good location, I get above 100Mbps from my 4G phone. (On the T-Mobile network. Going with that may have been a mistake: their coverage isn't the greatest in this area.) I did use the phone as a WiFi hotspot when my cable was down for a week courtesy of Isaias last year. (My power was down for 2 days.) Adequate for email, but not much else. I don't recall the numbers, but it was faster than dial-up.

Got my speed back (300 Mbps), out of the blue, and just in time to download a little patch. 11 sure plays with me.

vdsl2 100Mbps in a apartment, fiber goes to the cellar of the building.

BT fibre to the box copper from box to house, 70Mbps down, 19Mbps up, backup system EE 4G with an LTE router currently around 65Mbs down 30 Mbs up, was 100Mbs down before covid! It's also capped at 30 GB.
To be honest 70Mbps does me fine don't keep much stuff in the cloud and nothing important so upload is fine for what little stuff I do upload.

Frontier FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home), Fiber optic service, 75Mbps Up/75Mbps Down

Yes, I had to include "Dial Up". I don't even know if that even exists anymore, honestly. But I included it. . . . Dial Up was my first ever internet connection...............I'd rather not have internet at all than to use that.

I kind-of miss the chirps, whoosh and other sounds. Plus "you have mail".

Xfinity cable, 500 down, 10 up.

Looks the same as Comcast, when I was in Bellows Falls, Vermont, from June 12, 2016 to somewhere around 2018, when it suddenly was only 120 Mb down and 6 Mb up in the last two months of living there, SMH..... Until that issue, I had 300 Mb down and 11 Mb up.
