Built a house last year and they ran Ethernet cable to several rooms. After several discussions with the builder and Internet provider, I finally got the builder to send over a network specialist, not the electrician who installed the cabling.
Finally, I have the speeds I should have had all along.
I tested downloading 115gb Halo MCC and the estimated time was under 25 minutes.
Beautiful.
Can’t wait to play with my two sons tonight!

Ok
That’s awesome and great speed, congrats!
Such a missed opportunity to put a 2.5gbps NIC in the XSeX. Here’s hoping the Helix has at least that (10gbps would be even better, considering what we’re going to have to pay for RAM/storage on the device, may as well give us something for that)
Another option is to use MoCA adapters if you have a COAX drop in the room. I have a 1 Gbps adapter in the entertainment center connected to a 1 Gbps switch, my download speeds are maxed, and gaming online is stable.
My XSX was seeing a peak Wi-Fi speed of around 200 Mbps and the signal only had 1 wall to go through. I would say the wired average speed is around 800 Mbps, and it will peak at 1 Gbps.
Wi-Fi is great for cellphones and tablets, but it is ass for consoles.
