I currently have Spectrum's 940 Mbps service, with the unfortunate 35 mbps up which is useless for my needs. Now that Frontier has 1 Gbps symmetrical, I am going to add their service but I also need to keep my Spectrum 940 Mbps service (I need both to be able to fully work from home). Is the installer going to mess with the coax at all? As far as I understand it I need ethernet run from the ONT to my router.
I have a dual WAN router and a networking guru friend that is going to get everything set up properly, basically the way it is going to be set up is I have two computers I use for work, the main one will use the frontier connection and be used for both downloading projects and uploading them when complete, and the second computer will use Spectrum and be used for auxiliary downloads only which will then be transferred over 10 gbps ethernet to my main computer.
My neighbor has Spectrum also with no plans to switch to Frontier, and he would also be willing to let my wife have frontier service installed at his address in her name, and then we would run an ethernet cable from his house to mine.
At that point, however, I would be paying $500 per month for 3 gbps down and 2 gbps up. Any idea how much 10 gbps would be from either Frontier or Spectrum if they could run fiber directly to my house? Of course this would require a business account which I'm not sure either company would allow at a residence, and I would guess that Spectrum would require a large installation fee to run fiber directly to my house. Anyways that would be at some point in the future but a 10 gbps line would really simplify things for me.
Last question, I know Frontier advertises no data caps, but do they have a soft limit? I use an average of 50 TB per month on my Spectrum line and I have not heard a peep from them thankfully.
