Hello, everyone. Basically, my situation is that I have just moved back home from college and my parents' internet connection is not so great. They have a bundled contract with ATT Uverse for internet, phone, and cable. The internet speed is at about 18mbps download and 1.9mbps upload. This is not exactly ideal considering that while I was at school I did a lot of video streaming and gaming in my downtime which requires a pretty strong upload and download speed. I had tried calling AT&T to upgrade the internet service to the highest speed that they offer, which is 45mbps, but I was told that, "this connection speed is not available for your address. The highest we can give you is 18mbps." I don't entirely understand why the 45mbps connection speed isn't available, but I'm assuming it probably has something to do with fiber optics. However, I digress. My question is this: are there any other options that I can pursue in order to get the desired connection speed? Would it be possible for me to have a personal connection set up through comcast even though my parents go through AT&T (I know this may seem like a dumb question, but I felt as though it was worth asking.) Is there perhaps some out of the box solution that I haven't thought of quite yet? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.
