Looking for opinions on how CL fiber performs here in WS (particularly Alaska Junction) compared to Comcast. CL’s claims of speeds of up to 940Mb for $65 seem almost too good to be true.
I have CL fiber and live a bit west of the Jct. It works great! I’ve had only one outage due to a piece of equipment failing at the NOC. I have the 40Mb plan and it’s more than sufficient to stream on to computers.
I was a 10+ year comcast customer and switched to the same CL plan you mentioned last year. I work from home a lot and need the high speeds and it works great. I have never had an outage.
You won’t get the actual 940Mb unless you are ethernet connected directly to the router but my average speed is in the 600-700Mb range.
We switched to CL fiber about three years ago from Comcast for the price. It’s been great with only very occasional outages forcing a router reboot. We live in the Admiral District. We recently upped the speed to 100 Mbps from 40 and love it even more. If you already have a router you like I can show/tell you how to set it up and continue to use it; you don’t have to rent the CL router (they call it a modem, but it’s not) that they will try to make you use. If your present route can do VLAN tagging you can use it; even if it can’t you can use a smart switch and configure the VLAN tagging on it; then feed your router with that.
