Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

What Rod M said

I have a recent Wifi gateway from Xfinity with 2.5 Gigabit/Sec Ethernet ports on the back of the unit. But my entire home Ethernet infrastructure is limited to 1 Gigabit/Sec along with all of our Macs.

IMHO it's not worth the effort trying to achieve 2 Gigabit/Sec internet speeds at this point. I would call Comcast/Xfinity and tell them you want to downgrade your internet speed to 1 Gigabit/Sec or slower.

I should probably do the same and downgrade from my current 1 Gigabit service [Edit: I just checked on Wednesday and I'm paying for their 800 Mbs service]. The only reason I have that much speed is because I would often upload and download large software images when I was working from home - and my employer paid for my internet. I've been retired for two years now and I should take my own advise and cut back.

Typical webpages will load just as fast with a slower internet connection. It's the latency response from the website that we are usually waiting on.
