Ah...Google Fiber; we all can dream! Definitely check out the X6 and now the X7. I have fought with getting stable and high performance home networking for work & personal use with cable/other providers for years. The installation technology is finally catching up to where that is possible. I know some folks with TW service in other cities,...I'll ping them and see if that aspect has improved for them. For now, the only current gripes I've heard from people at my company that also thrive on high bandwidth internet for home-office is typically directed towards Comcast and ATT. I've fought my own battles over the years with Charter in NJ, MA, CT and later in SC; they seem to be finally looking more deeply at, and replacing older concentrators, etc...in the 2 counties here in SC where I've lived that were laid in when many subdivisions were originally staked out.

In general, 45MB on the downstream assuming it is capable of sustained throughput (nobody gives more than 3-5MB on the upstream but you don't need that for UHD4K or even HD) would be enough to sustain UHD4k...

The other issue in this age of rapid software development techniques, frequent releases of software with small improvements/corrections, etc...the providers of apps like Netflix, Vudu, etc...for HD/UHD HDTVs, BluRay players, etc...and the operating system developers for the devices themselves have their own issues they have to test for and find fixes that need to be released. I'm altogether too familiar with the "stutter" from Netflix even when bandwidth is high and sustainable at that moment; the apps seem VERY sensitive to minor time-out issues, DHCP IP lease refresh points, etc....sometimes even locking up and requiring restart of app and/or device and app. Ah...the joys of technology!

Thank you Albert. I really appreciate a starting point. It's been many years since we've used the Canons so no real need necessarily to go there. I'll start doing some research on my own and then I'll pm you.

We have Charter here delivering 60MB on download which surprisingly measures higher than that using speedtest.net repeatedly even during peak periods.
I wish I had option for a more reliable provider. We have AT&T DSL and 45 Meg down is top speed available based on distance from our home to fiber optic node in our neighborhood.

Time Warner promises they are much faster but I don’t know if they have straightened out their reliability issues I experienced some years ago.

Similarly good results for Oppo 105D (own one as well) for Netflix and other apps which has proven stable and reliable on the Charter link.
I’m using Ethernet with my Oppo and Amazon Fire TV and still occasionally have issues with Netflix stutter and catch up.

The Netgear X6 I wrote about above is the first that lets me have the full bandwidth of the incoming cable line actually passed on to any WiFi-connected device. Expect the X7 router from Netgear capable of the same.

As far as DSL services, I have avoided them, as a matter of preference and capability. Here's two interesting links on DSL types
I may look into that Netgear, reads like it’s the ultimate wireless option. Right now I’m on the fence as to if I’ll keep my AT&T service. AT&T now own DirecTV and continue to raise prices while offering same channel lineup and moderate internet speed. In my dreams Google Fiber would come to our area and solve all these problems. So far appers only Austin and San Antonio here in Texas.

Similarly good results for Oppo 105D (own one as well) for Netflix and other apps which has proven stable and reliable on the Charter link.
I’m using Ethernet with my Oppo and Amazon Fire TV and still occasionally have issues with Netflix stutter and catch up.

The Netgear X6 I wrote about above is the first that lets me have the full bandwidth of the incoming cable line actually passed on to any WiFi-connected device. Expect the X7 router from Netgear capable of the same.

As far as DSL services, I have avoided them, as a matter of preference and capability. Here's two interesting links on DSL types
I may look into that Netgear, reads like it’s the ultimate wireless option. Right now I’m on the fence as to if I’ll keep my AT&T service. AT&T now own DirecTV and continue to raise prices while offering same channel lineup and moderate internet speed. In my dreams Google Fiber would come to our area and solve all these problems. So far appers only Austin and San Antonio here in Texas.

We have Charter here delivering 60MB on download which surprisingly measures higher than that using speedtest.net repeatedly even during peak periods.
I wish I had option for a more reliable provider. We have AT&T DSL and 45 Meg down is top speed available based on distance from our home to fiber optic node in our neighborhood.

Time Warner promises they are much faster but I don’t know if they have straightened out their reliability issues I experienced some years ago.
