WiFi Speed NOT what it is promised
Xfinity sent me a monthly report today claiming to be giving me 708 mpbs download speed.
I ran the Xfinity speed test and it showed I am getting 146.3 mpbs. Then I ran many other site's speed tests that show I am getting Spectrum - 152 mpbs, Google - 165.8 mpbs, AT&T - 170 mpbs.
Yes, I am on my laptop on wifi, but there are no other devices currently running in my house, and I am sitting less than 10' from my router. This is FAR from what is promised and what I am paying for.

That's a bit on the slow side for Wi-Fi (depending on environment, Wi-Fi band, channel, and the device) but I think they don't really guarantee anything about Wi-Fi.
For example, on devices, in the same location, I can get anywhere from 15Mbps on my cheapest Roku to 500Mbps on my best laptop. And even on tablets, a more expensive one gets around 380Mbps and a value-priced one, more like 120Mbps in the same spot.
