OT-CSpire Fiber

[bulldog2488]

Just recently moved to Clinton. Part of the city has already "gone green" to have fiber installed, but my neighborhood still needs about 250 people to preregister for fiber. It's weird because the neighborhood right next to us has it installed. Anybody have any ideas on how to get fiber faster?

Seriously - Get more people in your neighborhood to sign up

I wish they would push into Memphis. I guess they are growing this slowly, but I would be all over it.

I live in Clinton too, out Tinnin Rd. My whole neighborhood has signed up, but whats included in my fiberhood, it wont ever get the needed signups. We still need 109.

Mine needs 179 more to preregister. Trying to decide if I want to do that or just switch to UVerse. I really don't feel as much of a sense of urgency though because I have no real complaints with Comcast, other than the fiber would be both cheaper and faster.

I hear UVerse has really fast internet speeds *****

Pay the 10 bucks for each neighbor. That would probably get it done...

My hood is in the same situation.

We are all set in my hood, just waiting on them to lay the fiber and begin installation..

Can anyone who has CSpire Fiber give us a review on their TV service?
I heard their DVR will record 500 hrs of programing.

Also, do you have to have a box for each TV? I didn't see an answer to this on the website. Boxes are $10 each or $15 for another DVR, but it doesn't say if you need them in every room.

As bad as my internet is, Id almost be willing to do that.

box needed in every room, all boxes are HD capable with no extra HD fee, HD signal quality is the best i have seen for anyone and almost every channel is HD, and all channels are together and easy to find. DVR is 1TB and can do over 400 hours, up to 6 HD records at one time while watching a 7th (or 8th in PiP). Some channels like ESPNs let you restart the show from the start if you havent recorded it. They also just released an iPhone app that lets you change channels and manage your DVR, or what I like, see what each TV is playing.

CSpire fiber (at my parents): ran the Speedtest app over wifi ... 181 Mbps download, 137 Mbps upload, 6 ms ping
I'm jealous. My uverse gets 13 Mbps, 1 Mbps, 46 ms.

 

[fishwater99]

I heard that with a wired desktop it's like 950 Mbps. Wifi can't handle the speed and peaks out much lower.

I've seen 450 MB/s download before on a Galaxy S5. Most new Androids have the fastest WiFi since they have 2x2 MIMO with 802.11AC. Some new laptops have 2x2 MIMO. I think the latest Macbooks and latest iPads have 2x2 MIMO.
