Right now I have verizon fios 75/75 right now but im only getting around 49/60 due to the fact my PC and PS4 are wireless. I get approx. 5 MB/sec downloads, about 20 sec to download 100 MB file. How fast are your connections?

Just 18 meg here as we’re at the end of the wire. We’re hampered by underground utilities, so there’s no possibility of someone running fiber to the home.

18’s more than adequate for full-time telecommuting.
