Reply to comment by joe2352 in Outages every day for almost a week now by ReptarNation

How is brightspeed doing? Im considering switching from AT&T cuz they're a shitty company.

But the constant outages is why I was done with medicom. Bastards kept trying to raise my bill, but i kept having outages at least once a week and couldnt stay connected on my console that was literally right next to the damn modem

I have had them since they started in Springfield and have had very few issues. My biggest problem has been that their routers aren’t the best. They will occasionally drop connection to my phone but it’s usually fixed by turning my Wi-Fi on and off on my phone. I’ve had two routers bricked by updates, which was unfortunate, but was able to get a tech out the same or next day. Calling support works better than their chat service.

Echoing the same experience here - only issues have been with their provided router. I haven't had the bricking issue, but I have had the dropped connection issue.

I took the opportunity on Black Friday to buy a mesh system. I haven't had any problems in the last 2 weeks, and one room with spotty coverage before is perfect now. Their provided router is a modem/router combo, so it has to stay in the chain, but you just connect a new router to it and turn off WiFi on the old router.

I will 3rd this. I also got a mesh system, but honestly i think any half good router is better then what they will lease to u. I have had 0 problems since.

Yeah, I could honestly probably just swing the base router of the mesh by itself. The majority of my devices are still connected to the base, despite a few being right next to a satellite. The devices in the formerly-crappy-coverage room are connected to the base, too. But, I just like having the mesh.

Pretty sure you can tag VLAN 201 and any router will work. I work with two connections and have eliminated the AX-whatever from the chain entirely.

It's unquestionably better. There's no data cap and it's significantly faster. We have four PC gamers at the house. Full games are downloaded in a consistently shocking rate.

I firmly believe it's the best l current best option in Springfield

I haven’t used them since I’m out of Springfield now. But when they were quantum fiber while I was up there (left in May) they were great.
