[QUOTE="Murray20c8, post: 329135, member: 6078"] Yup, we stream 4K pretty much flawlessly. We had almost no options. Every provider I contacted couldn't get a signal. I tried satellite internet with Xplornet and they lied and cheated their customers. First month was great and the second and third we were choked. I was told I could cancel any time, but on page 30 of their "Acceptable Usage Policy" which we all have to sign, it said I had to pay for a year to cancel!!!! Fockers! Then it was Rogers cellular. Worked decently, but streaming was hit and miss. Finally my neighbour called and someone representing bell hooked them up to rural internet. Great! ... or so I thought. My neighbour is 3 properties further from the tower, but Bell refused to come out and even test it! I was outside their area!! I called several times and escalated the issue! I told them I drew a line from my neighbours antenna to the tower and it went right over my house! Finally one of the reps I talked to changed my address and created a work order. LOL. The tech called because he couldn't find that address. I told him where I actually was and when he came he couldn't get a signal of minimum quality anywhere! He climbed on my roof. He went to the street! I pleaded with him to keep looking! I had no other options! HE walked all over the property and finally got a signal almost 300 feet from my house! LOL! He planted his foot on the ground and said "Put a post here!" so I did. 300 feet is almost the maximum for Cat5e, but PHEW! I've only had an issue once and the antenna had to be adjusted, but it's now been several years and knock on wood! I dream of fibre being installed down our street. The town of Uxbridge had cable, but for them it wasn't good enough so they added fibre and screw us! LOL [/QUOTE]
