Considering cutting the cable (Xfinity). Any experience with Verizon for home internet service? Fast and reliable enough for two people to stream movies (1080p) simultaneously? Good for Zoom as well?

All 5G internet requires adequate signal to work properly. Some people have gotten a small box to place near a window and most have told me it doesn't do much unless the signal is adequate to start with. I have things going on but evenetually I'll look into it. From where I live, I'm probably going to need something like -

installed. I have coax running not too far form where I would need to connect to (the antenna) in my upstairs bonus and get the router where it would reside in the office. There are websites which give some guidance - e.g.

I personally know people who had an issue and had to revert to regular internet as they could not get enough signal. For what my internet service provider charges, it would probably pay me back so I break even after about a year. So I will look at it at some time.

Read this first. Might work great for you or might not be so good.
