I have a home office, so right now I have two lines - one personal, one business. It's for tax and expenses purposes.
Other than the coax in my house, my signal is pretty good. Ideal, IIRC. I talked a lot with the cable guy the last two times he's been here (has been about a year.) Pretty smart guy, willing to share his knowledge. When the internet went down last time, I took out my router and even hooked the modem up directly to the PC so he wouldn't have to troubleshoot on a Mac, and routers are/were unsupported at the time. After talking with him a bit he said I didn't need to bother with that if it happens again, just let him know it's not working and he wont even test inside the house. He ran a new line from the pole, and all has been good since.
I'll take a speedtest when I get done uploading this 150MB file, but it's usually around 6Mb down and 300kb up. I can pay an additional $10/mo and get that increased.
