Hulu gives us all local channels, and everything we normally watch, including my wife's 'must-have' Golf and ESPN channels.Metronet internet is mostly available in the Midwest, across eight states: Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio. I signed up for Hulu, with all its options, including local TV, advanced DVR, and commercial skipping. In the meantime, here's how I 'cut the cable', resulting in a savings of about $60 per month from my Comcast bill.

If it all works as expected, I'll update the review to 5 stars on all accounts. We'll see if this solves our issue, but I'm impressed with the quick service. Recognizing that the problem may be that our Orbi Mesh Network may not be up to such high speeds, I chatted with Metronet, which has arranged for installing its own 'whole house' router, within 13 hours of my calling Metronet. Then, after a week of using Metronet, I noticed that our speeds were between 75 and 250 Mbps, which, although respectable, were nowhere near the 500 Mbps that I signed up for.

This never would have happened with Comcast. Low and behold, without my even setting up a service call, a technician showed up at our door within a few days and quickly solved the issue. When Metronet asked for a review of its services, I commented that I hadn't had time to work out my issue. It happened while I was busy with other issues and didn't have time to address them.

The first was that my Orbi Mesh Network wouldn't connect to the Metronet router. This makes a difference not only for film editors but also for those of us who do Zoom meetings.

Unlike others, where upload speeds are limited to about 10 Mbps, regardless of download speeds, fiber optic offers speeds in both directions that are approximately equal. The big advantage is fiber optic, which provides for consistent upload and download speeds. My service started just this month, and, so far, I'm very pleased with my decision. When I discovered that Metronet was laying fiber optic cable in Tallahassee, I signed up as an early adopter. Customer Service, Pricing, Reliability, SOMETHING! If you are not a major carrier, you should offer something else that is stellar to make up for it. But, for now, they have a bit of work to do. I like that it is not part of the big service providers who divvy out territories so that they don't have to compete with one another on pricing.

#METRONET BANDWIDTH SPEED TEST UPGRADE#

So that upgrade felt less like an upgrade and more like they've been ripping me off cost-wise for almost 2 years. According to their website that is the same pricing as the 1GB.

They could get better about their service times.Īlso, the tech was nice enough to get me upgraded to the 1GB plan from the 500MB plan, but I thought I was already on the 1GB plan because I've been paying $80/mo for over 2 years. So no internet basically cripples me from a technology perspective and a week is a long time. My whole house is 'smart' meaning my lights and everything connect to Alexa so when I don't have internet, I have to manually reset everything, Unplug items from the smart plugs, and plug them into the walls, I work remotely so I have to use a cellphone hotspot to work, and all of my TV services are streaming. Recently, I had to call to have a tech come out because there was no signal coming to the home, and the earliest reservation they had was 6 days from the day I was calling. In one case, I troubleshot an issue I was having for more than 3 months before I finally broke down and bought another router with my own money to try to fix the bandwidth issues and intermittent interruptions. I've had good service overall, but when things aren't good, it takes a REALLY long time to get answers and get things working. I've been a Metronet customer since 2019.
