The routers are infinitely more reliable by comparison to the cheap crap that other ISPs have been dishing out (Though they're still far from what a good custom setup can achieve), it's cut down on support costs because there's not a million different routers to support... As for your speeds? Again, it's just where you live. Before cabinetization I was barely getting 1.2mbps here. I'm sitting around 9mbps currently. My friends in Henderson, just 4KM away as the crow flies, are about to get UFB at the start of next year too. No connection in site for me here though. Not even a rough date. You basically have little choice but to suck it up and deal with the fact that it's simply because of where you live (Or in my case, I live at the end of the Peninsula where there's not a large amount of homes), and that companies have to think about what's cost-effective. Why would they go for somewhere that has very few people to get connected, when they can get a ton more for the same amount of effort and start reaping the benefits themselves of getting customers on to UFB plans?
