Similar experience:  our older house had AT&amp;T - only 7.5 Mbit&#x2F;s or so, but it pretty much never went down; our newer house has Comcast - supposed to be 30 Mbit&#x2F;s, but often goes wonky or out.<p>It&#x27;s a tough call:  go 1&#x2F;4 speed at 1&#x2F;2 the price, reliably, or try to go 4 times faster at &quot;only&quot; twice the price (appx), but gamble from day to day :-(
