Right now, I am subscribing to the Frontier Fiber 1 GIg. I have an older home PC that supports the 1000 megabits and wired I get over 900 up and down. After installing the new AX card on my HP 17-bs028cy laptop I got 500 down and over 800 up. These internet providers are only obligated to provide you the wired speed they promised you, and not the wifi speed you currently get with Ookla or fast.com. When I go to network properties in Windows, click on the wifi adapter, and right-click "status" it shows 2.3 Gig, which is the "full theory" of wifi speed. Frontier considers wifi to be "unstable" so even though the faster subscriber speeds are available such as 5 gigabits, folks with families are only going to gain the faster speeds with wifi connections, even though in theory they have more bandwidth to share among them. The Big Mo comes with a public library with administrators trying to "throttle"  the wifi so they cannot download movies and ruin the bandwidth for the entire library attendance. Similar strategies are employed at a Starbucks that in some parts are so **bleep** slow I used to have an at&t netgear Nighthawk router which would at least provide me with 4G LTE speeds that I would LAN to my laptop 

to assure security, privacy, and faster speeds than the coffee shop slurpers.

I recently upgraded my WIFI card for HP EliteBook 840 G8 Notebook PC. The only model that supports HP laptops is INTEL AX210NGW WIFI card. After changing the card, install the software and change your wifi network band to 6 GHz. Am getting about to 1500 Mbps both download and upload speed with WIFI 6E. Mine is a 10GB Archer AXE300 WIFI 6E router with 10GB fiber broadband. My next plan is to test Thunderbolt 3 10GB adaptor with Thunderbolt 4 cable.
