I think it depends on the router model, either way I'm planning to try my best to get fibre first since sticking with eir with fibre would be the best bet, 5g broadband has a lower monthly cost but it'll be a higher upfront cost due to needing to buy a new modem that has everything we need

at leats online it says theres 'very good' coverage for 5G in our area, i'd assume its faster then what we have now

we don't want to support elon musk or the starlink I think, but the 5G broadband might be an option

which is good news for a home server but probably will end up needing to go back to cloud hosting until then I guess

yeah in the end we called and they said we are getting what we pay for, so we're gonna call back and ask for the actual contract, prolly downgrade to the 100mb option if its not that different

the cables around us all belong to this company so we can threaten to swap but if we do we'd probably drop in priority and get worse speeds lmao

We're on DSL rather then connected with a fibre optical box, so it seems we aren't even setup for fibre, not sure what the story is with getting it like if it's in our area or not since everywhere around us has it

No sorry I need to explain better, I mean we have business rated at like 2gbps but we get 100 mbps down and 20 up
I didn't know this before but they've been marketing that plan and got us the fibre broadband box for ages but we don't actually have fibre which I thought we did because I remember them installing the cables outside our house years ago; further down the road from where I live they al have fibre, but most of where I live bar a couple houses don't have it

we swapped routers physically before but I think just to ones the company gave us, we've complained to them a lot about speeds and connection issues, had people come out before and either fix it when its down or find no issues when there are issues lmao
