Not getting the speeds I'm paying for.
I'm paying for a 500 Mbps plan, but every speed test is showing 40 Mbps - 120 Mbps. It's been like this for months. What's going on? Why am I not getting what I paid for?

How are you testing? If you are testing over WiFi, it's not going to be accurate. Testing with a device connected via Ethernet over a 1000baseTX connection will be far more accurate. When I test with my desktop, I get over 580 MBPS, when I test with my laptop over Regular WiFi, I average about 72 mbps, and on WiFi 6, I can get up to 450 plus. The issue is, there are way too many things using 2.4 and 5 ghz frequencies. They all cause interference and can slow you down tremendously, as can distance from the router, and solid objects in between that can block the signal.
