Fast internet is good for network adapters

Works great. Recently changed internet provider. I switched to cable from a DSL phone company that offers leased line. With the phone company's DSL, I've had download speeds of less than 800 Mbps (usually less) and upload speeds of around 50 Mbps, despite paying 1.5 Mbps for the download. The phone company always used the excuse that I'm at the end of the phone line and the speed drops off when it reaches my house and 1.5Mbps was the only speed I could get. I have endured this bad service for years hoping that Fios will come to my town. Eventually I got fed up and switched to Cable, which I should have done years ago. The cable modem offers both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz. My computer could only pick up 2.4GHz. I bought a Belkin adapter and used the CD that came with it to program my computer. I plugged in the adapter and it immediately picked up the 5.0GHz signal. With the new Belkin cable service and adapter, I now get faster, smoother service, 15 ms ping, 29.62 Mbps download speed, and 6.15 Mbps upload speed. I've been a fool to put up with and pay for the phone company's slow and intermittent DSL for years. What a fantastic difference with the cable and the Belkin Dual Band USB Adapter.
