@Breffni-Potter Steam, again they tend to content throttle you, most I've seen is 1 or 2 per second. Are the needs that great?
it took me over 30 days of continuously managing 20Mb/s connections to be able to download our Steam library partially while in the US last time. Steam will use more than I can get access to in Texas. And I need it as single game downloads can take a couple of days. Getting our library downloaded takes a super long time.
I have no idea how fast Steam will go, as fast as I can give it access to is all that I know. 20Mb/s at least for one download at a time.
You're limited to 20 Mb down in Texas? damn.
There are regions with great Internet, and regions with nothing. Texas is very hot and cold as far as Internet access. My house in Dallas can get 100Mb/s, the condo in Houston struggles to get 5Mb/s. My brother in laws place across town gets 300Mb/s.

I'm still waiting for my local service provider to build into my neighborhood, it's been like 8 months since they've started to accept orders, before they actually start.

Let me know when you finish that data center in your basement. I might rent some space from you, lol.

I believe the same rules apply "no business use allowed"

It's not business use. I'm just a friend helping to offset his internet costs.

As well as power and cooling costs. In fact I would be willing to offset some hardware and management costs as well.

I can get gigabit at my house in the middle of no where. Right now I'm just on the 150Meg plan though (software limited, it can be bumped up to a gigabit with a simple call).

Lucky. What is the cost of that?

150meg is $60, gigabit is $120. 2gig is $300. I don't think my CPE will handle 2 gig though.

Who offers 2Gb/s for residential?

Wow... that's really good. I pay $60 for 50/5.

I was thinking that was Chatanooga, TN via EPB, but they're offering 10Gb, not some measly 2gig!

Pretty much everyone? There's a Fiber OANs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-access_network) here all along any main roads though so maybe we are just spolied.

I've never seen it offered before, anywhere. Even single Gig is pretty hard to find in residential still.

I know of no service offering residential service greater than gigabit.
I am sure that it exists, but not as a normal advertised service. -

One Community has fiber all over NE Ohio, but limits who can actually use it. What's the point of building out publicly accessible fiber if you make it difficult to access/use? I've literally got 40Gb fiber running THROUGH MY FRONT YARD, yet the best speed the local internet providers offer is 50Mb/3Mb. Up until last year it was 20Mb/1.5Mb. They've even got ~5 miles of 100Gb available up in Cleveland.So yeah, lots of available fiber, no residential service!

Back to the original topic - I have one of the regular Unifi UAP units, which was working fine until the 2.4ghz spectrum got too crowded. All the channels are clogged and I'm now barely clearing 2-5Mbps. I thought that would be a thing of the past with a regular house, but there's too much wifi in the neighborhood. I'm now upgrading to the AC Lite which has 2.4 and 5ghz bands. We'll see how that goes. Some people have recommended Open Mesh to me as well:
