 ### Overview
-I have been struggling with Spectrum Internet, formerly Time Warner now for around 9 years. There were simply no other alternatives, and I check about every so often for other providers, never getting anywhere. We've had building cabling issues, arguments about my own vs company cable modems, upwards of 8 service visits to remediate the problem all to no avail. Well, AT&T came out with 5G+ service (as did T Mobile and a few other providers) recently and I decided to give that a trial run. I cooked up a Python script that uses the speedtest-cli on my Ubuntu development machine in my home office and am letting it collect logs for a couple weeks both on the new access device and the old one for comparision.

There were simply no other alternatives, and I check about every so often for other providers, never getting anywhere. Also, my goals are to reduce spend and improve both speed and reliability since I am still partly a remote worker and, well, Netflix. So basically, that rules out Starlink right out the gate from the cost angle.

I've had building cabling issues that are partly out of my control, numerous arguments about my own (I now have two) vs company provided cable modems, upwards of 8 service visits to remediate the cable problem all to no avail.
