Thanks to everyone for the comments.
Wow Dave. Thanks for the links to the lawsuit. Fascinating. I didn't
know about this.
Since the original email, I actually downgraded from Spectrum cable 300
Mb/s to ? maybe it's 200 now ?, anyway it's $20 a month cheaper. And
decreased the "smart queue" limits to 80/10 Mb/s.
Video streaming multiple TVs at once is all working well. No complaints
from the family. Win!
Stats are looking pretty good after ~8 days uptime
