Hi folks. I may have to change from AT&T to Charter/Spectrum cable ISP. Anybody use them or know of any restrictions/limitations as far as Allstar is concerned?

Charter/Spectrum is really actually pretty good. No IPv6 yet, but that’s good for the Allstar world. Their modems are easily accessible, but I run mine in bridged mode and use my own router/firewall. Works great. No static IPs unless you have business class, but it doesn’t change much over a 30day window.

AT&T Home (DSL), Dish Network or Wireless? Home(DSL) shouldn't have any restrictions other then it might be a bad network. That kind of problems do you see? Also ask AT&T if your using DSL where the central office is from you. 18,000 feet is the MAX... Ask for a tech to come out for a line test. Also it might be oversubscribed. I looked for a central office map for your area and couldn't find one. Do you have an updated: DSL Modem (Check with AT&T first. Make and Model) Router If you go with cable. Make sure the modem can handle the speeds you are buying. (I brought my own cable modem. I had to work with a list that my ISP has.) The up speed should be over 10Mb. The down should be higher.. Now food for thought.. You can get a cheap Internet service package from Spectrum for testing.. Ask for month to month. If you like it. Go for it.
