It's OK for light internet usage. It's a pooled resource though, and performance will be dependent on current traffic and time of day. And mobile Verizon customers get data preference over home internet. It's had reliability complaints. My buddy uses it mainly just for streaming TVs, and has been mostly satisfied for the price. Don't expect to do any intense gaming though.

When you say gaming, are we talking about PS gaming, or something else or does it matter? And what qualifies as intense? |

Okay. Trying to figure this out just for you. If this doesn’t work, I’m suing you for dozens of rubles.

Give it a couple months before dumping your current ISP... I don't know the specifics around Verizon's home internet, but there could be data caps or traffic issues at certain times that lead to deprioritization.
It could be great for a week or 4 weeks and then go to shit (had that happen with TMobile home internet and times where tethering to my phone that's hitting the same tower was faster than the home internet ). Much like cell phone service, it's very hit or miss on overall experience. |

Yeah, I just watched a couple vids on YT that reviewed this thing. They both said the same thing. So we'll see how this goes for a couple months then pull the plug on cox if everything is kosher. Thx for the help guys. Really appreciate it. |

I dumped them the day I got TMobile setup and really tried to wait out the bullshit, customer service runarounds talking about how they were working on towers, etc... and ended up crawling back. I guess the one upside is maybe I'll get to dump them again one day. |

Yeah, the reviews I looked at said that I could run into those kinds of issues, so we'll see how it goes. I should be all right; the Verizon cell tower is about 200 yds due north of my house. |

We switched from Spectrum to Verizon Home service about a year ago. The service is solid, no lagging or internet gaps in service. We use the box as a gateway and connect our own wireless router for the additional security features. Our monthly cost dropped 35 bucks. Well worth it. The only issue is that the IP address moves around the state, no real big deal for us.

I Have the ATT version I use as a backup. My other access is through Spectrum which is so undependable that I have to reset the router sometimes 3 times a day. They come out and can't find a problem. Clip off the coaxial cable connector and put in a new one. Say it's fixed and a couple weeks later back to the same old crap. Google Fiber is on the way it has been on the way for several months. When it gets here I will be on it. Att Fiber is also not available here and I haven't gotten a mail flyer saying it's coming.
Anyway, it's been pretty good so far but I don't game. My Son and Daughter do through Steam on their computer and PlayStation. They have no complaints. They use it over Spectrum. |
