That is why when I lived in Houston I used one provider for tv and another for data. When you use only one provider, most of your bandwidth goes to data and tv gets what is left. Because the tv is highly compressed the picture always looked terrible with one provider. When I split services I got gorgeous tv and no issues with my data.

Comcast has had problems recently with data dropouts and delays. I have had issues with my remotes for about three months. have swapped out EVERYTHING at both ends but the problem still persists. So, I am convinced that the quality of the Internet service is the culprit. My CW has been getting corrupted when I use N1MM to send CW to my ranch rig. I can listen in on my home rig on what is being transmitted. However, when Chris, N8AI, connects to it, he has no problems. He can ragchew either with a paddle or a CW engine and no dropouts. About a year ago, Chris, N8AI, was getting into data drops with his Xfinity service. When you run speedtest, the service is in excess of 50 mbps. But, he was still getting problems. One problem was data drops.It was fixed by running a direct cable to the router rather than going with wifi connection. The second problem may have been related to certain settings in the Xfinity routers that channel more speed to streaming video than to standard data use like we need for our rigs. I believe that someone at the top engineering level must have put Chris's connection at a higher priority to get away from data drops. I used to run my remote station with less than 1 Mbs data rates. Now, even with 15 Mbs, I have data being corrupted. Instead of sending K0NM, I have heard K9MT, K0MT, etc. I have reached the point where I am totally frustrated. So, if anyone comes up with an answer, please let me know.
