@darlicious there are several. Lightpeed techsavy cantelnet and a few others. Much depends on your location.
They should all go to single family.
You could have bad hardware. I know wireless signal drops speed significantly depending on location of router etc.
@mimmo @Lemony_Snicket There has definitely been an improvement since they put the booster? In especially when more than 8 ft away from the modem. As well it has given us two Bands now rather than just the 2.4mhz. The speed still widely varies even when several speed tests are run consecutively ranging from 5.0 to 25mbps the upload consistently is higher than the download which is a little weird?!! May be the router...only thing not replaced when installed in 2012 and upgraded to fibre optic 2 years ago. I have to say compared to the 5 techs before...the last 2 were fantastic. The first one Nathan did some diagnostics got the speed up to half (25mbps) but was not happy with that and sent the tech out with booster. Speed dropped within 24 hrs. After the booster was installed the speed jumped to 55mbps but has been up and down since with the low of 0.4mbps the other night with just me on this site at 1am going wtf waiting forever to view each new post. That tech support gave me an entire tutorial on how troubleshoot the WiFi from radio frequencies, the online settings menu for the WiFi to additional reading available. I feel empowered by my new found knowledge and grateful I didn't get the usual upsell as usage and devices are not our issue nor % of interference. That all being said of the 20 or so internet providers I have checked only one who has yet to get back to me...may have service for me. All others are apt and condos only...across the street, one lot over, down the street, across the alley but not to my house, the neighbour's or the corner lot. I think Shaw and telus know that and can take advantage...shaw has infinitely faster and better service as I've seen and used next door after they switched from telus for same issues I have.
