My ISP, Charter, advertises 60 Mbps internet as its base speed. Which is all well and good, but I wasn't really ever seeing 60 Mbps. More like 35 Mbps tops. I discovered my modem has a gigabit ethernet port, and my Macbook Pro and LG G2 have 802.11ac wifi. So I decided to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

After a little messing around with the DNS server and channel settings, but nothing particularly intensive, it's running pretty great. I did the speed test above while sitting on the toilet in the powder room on the first floor of my townhouse. The router is upstairs in my office/guest room.

That'll do pig, that'll do.

It's weird, the pings on my MBP are slightly slow. Here's the results with my G2 testing from the same server, and done in the same bathroom.

That's kinda funky.

Yeah I updated to AC a little while ago. I'm now getting all of Time Warner's 16 mbps download and 1 mbps upload.

Yup, 802.11ac sure is nice

Time Warner recently upgraded all 80mb/s users to 100+ for free, next it'll be 300! But AT&T is supposedly bringing a gigabyte soon. I can't wait for that!
