Cable internet. (Cox)

Got tired of paying over $100/mo for an unreliable 500Mbps line with a shit 10Mbps upload and a pointless data cap.

Now I pay $50/mo for 5G fixed wireless. 1500Mbps both ways and no stupid data cap. Even with a tree blocking line-of-sight, it's still more reliable than cable ever was.

Made the switch 4 years ago and haven't looked back (I don't subscribe to many things).

What is the latency like, who did you go with?

Good enough to play competitive PC shooters (less than 40ms for servers 2 states away on the west coast).

Verizon 5G Home internet (the one with the big white box that mounts in your window, not the slower one with the small white box that goes anywhere).
