I've had it for about 6 months now.
Things I am able to do:
- Stream wireless video content to multiple devices (TV, computer, tablet, phone) at the same time
- Watch said video with no lag or freezing
- Get crystal clear, sharp TV
- Get reliable, modern service (Time Warner cable's tech in Brookside is awful and was constantly failing)
- Run my work-from-home office with much less of a bottleneck than I previously did. A lot is made of the 1 gig download speed, but the 300 megabit upload speed is a godsend to ANYONE who has to connect remotely to a network through VPN (since your D/L through VPN is limited to your upload speed). I throw around huge files (PowerPoint, Word, image) all day. This makes a big difference.
- Run online multiplayer games with no lag on my end
Had my first service call yesterday... mouse chewed on some of the fiber cable outside the house and flattened it/interrupted the signal.
Kid was professional and awesome. They also have a "minimal permanent install" policy which I find nice. They try to avoid drilling holes in your home as much as possible, which is pretty sweet.
