True. Granted ... not much else could be happening in the house (internet-wise) at the same time, but it was sufficient. But not for multiple streams and multiple devices fighting for bandwidth at the same time. Hence the long-overdue upgrade.

Which is why I prefer streaming devices to be hardwired if possible. Wireless introduces more latency (even if the wireless bandwidth is more than sufficient). Satellite internet always suffered from horrible latency as well. Don't know if that's gotten any better or not.
