Thanks for checking this forum out, hopefully you can give me any suggestions on ideas of some sort.
So the internet speed at my house has been a big problem for the last 5+ years, really really REALLY, slow speeds...it's embarrassing. We are getting around 1-3 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload. We are also paying an insane amount per month just for the dang internet speed of 1-3 Mbps.
It's really frustrating because I am really into gaming,streaming videos,and also uploading to Youtube. Iv'e wanted to stream online games but, how are you supposed to stream when you can't even watch one Youtube video on 480p and play a game without lag. When you have a big family and you can't run a facetime call, scroll Instagram and download something without it dropping the download is not acceptable.
What iv'e tried
1.We tried switching our providers but that never works....Iv'e called Verizon,AT&T,and Xfinity and none can provide internet on our old road.
2. Countless times we have called Frontier complaining about the internet, and they only say the same thing."We will have technicians have come to your house" just to change the router, say that we can't have multiple software's running, changing router settings, and we also had a technician himself say that we should ditch Frontier.
3. Called Frontier to change our plan...they said we had the highest speed plan available.
So in all it's obviously not my houses problem..it's Frontiers, do I need to get a certain number higher up in the business? Is there a way to get a different provider in my area (TBH I might pay $5,000 to get fiber optic on my road right now) We are living in Pennsylvania, it's 2018 and they can't even provide the normal cheaper speed of 50mbps.
