Spectrum offered me “poor ppl internet” for qualified areas (such as my apt complex) for a flat rate of $20/m. When I moved to a home. The agent assisting with the transfer of services stated I longer qualify for this cheap internet and my rate would have to be raised $40 higher. I said can you be a bro and just look the other way. He said hell yeah why not. so I’ve kept this low price ever since but he did mention if I move again, or have to upgrade speeds I will loose that rate unless I can convince the next agent again.

So I have really affordable internet but it has trouble keeping connection. I have to switch from WiFi to phone data multiple times a day. My Roku wireless doorbell (which is less than 3 ft from the router) cannot function properly as it looses connection within an hr of setup, cannot cloud game from Xbox, etc. I have heard of something called a “WiFi Mesh ecosystem” or a WiFi extender. I’ve done a bit of research and both and wonder if either can be of benefit. Or anything else for that matter.
