Comcast increased their internet speeds considerably just in the past year.My Comcast downloads
My Comcast uploads
My ping times are longer than before, used to get 10 - 12ms, but since I'm not a "gamer" I'll take the faster download speeds in trade for fastest latency any day. The download speeds come in real handy when I'm downloading huge OS images and patches for work.

Technical question.
Can I run both "G" and "AC" devices at the same time if the modem is backward compatible? Modems are a mystery to me right now. Since I am in love with Tidal service, I want to optimize my Wi-Fi performance when I get the fiber optic hook-up.
Tidal takes very little bandwidth relative to modern internet speeds and Wifi networking so if you're thinking of 'optimizing' for Tidal specifically, you haven't much to gain with a new "AC" Wifi router.
That being said, I couldn't tell you if the Wifi/Router/CableModem that your ISP will provide is compatible with Wireless "G". I couldn't even tell you if your ISP provides the Wifi/Router or just the CableModem. We have a choice and I chose the 'all-in-one' Wifi/Router/CableModem/Switch. And I no longer own any Wireless "G" devices.
For fastest internet speeds for downloads and such my computer is hardwired CAT5E to my Wifi/Router/CableModem/Switch. We get very fast and reliable downloads and streaming via Wifi but hardwired is more consistent so that's what I use in my home office.
The best I can get in my area is 50/3.
