    Crazy is when I 1st got it I tried like 10 spots in my house looking for the best connection. Once I found that spot I was still only averaging around 100mb download speeds. I used one of the cell locater apps and saw there was a tmobile tower south of my. I kept My modem in the exact same spot and just turned it to face that tower and now I'm averaging 350mb download. My mine is blown that it went up that much by just turning it. I almost sent it back because i wasn't sure 100mb was going to be enough. But now I have been averaging 300-400mb download and has been pretty consistent. I'm happy
