slow streming
I only stream to watch tv (Netflix, appleTV, HBOmax etc.). Will my internet slow once I stream so much?
Your experience with the content delivery could be dependent upon the level of the service your plan is and load upon the uplink equipment. Also the quality of the cellular signals will be a factor. If your gateway receives at least 3-4 bars and the signals are clean service delivery should be good. There are some locations where users seem to experience delivery problems but not all users have service problems. Only time will tell if you are fortunate to be in a good place for service. If the cell tower equipment and upstream routers are all provisioned to carry the subscriber load it could be just fine. If there are periods of the day/night when bandwidth is more limited just keep in mind you can plan ahead and download some content during off peak hours for offline viewing.
iTinkeralot, do the bars represent speed or just reception? I always have three bars and my download speed is always around 250. If I had four or five bars, would my speed be greater? Not that I need more speed. Before I got my eero 6+, it was usually around 100. After the eero, it went up to 180, and then higher with T-Mobile. The upload speed now is what amazes me, though. It was always around 5 before T-Mobile, but now it's like 20!
