@spatialking thus won’t help your issue with old interior wiring, and sounds like your idea of doing it yourself when you are ready to make (and then repair and repaint) some holes in the walls is a good one, but is there a fiber optic ISP in your area? We’ve got Century Link/Quantum (now owned by AT&T) and I added them so my streaming can be on its own network. (Need to keep the TV on the evil Comcast for now.) But sounds like you could put everything one that one ISP account. Unlimited data and 1gig speed —which of course I don’t come close to using, but sounds like you would. And I believe they’re still offering guaranteed pricing for life. I was very impressed with their customer service in getting the account set up and with the installer.
just a thought ….

I’m glad you had a good experience with Quantum. I think it’s highly dependent on your location and on which sub they decided to hire that day. My experience with them was miserable. The installer sub was an imbecile. He knackered the installation to the point that it took 3 months and a half dozen visits by actual company-employed techs to straighten it out. Quantum made Comcast look like a concierge service.

Oh dear! That sounds horrendous, @devinplombier . I should count myself as lucky. Maybe their workforce here in Portland is better than average. Or i just got lucky. But in any event, the ISP service itself has been flawless ever since; no outages and most importantly, no congestion slow downs (even during World Cup!!) that always use to make TIDAL, Qobuz and Roon loose their collective and respective minds when I had the audio on the Comcast/Xfinity cable-based network. |
