Towers usually only affect people at longer distances, it is as you said upgrading to 50/20 it where it really starts to play an important role. Although as more users go up the distance for good reception goes down as well. So much to consider, but as long as they continue to upgrade there is a chance for me.
Curious does FW have unlimited accounts like Fibre plans in the Urban areas?

You can't plan your uploads when teleworking though. And to be honest, performance that is really hurting me (Upload) is a plain vanilla roughly 6mbps all day, every day anyway. The decision (Rooted in the idea that it is all about download, showing how little the people making the decisions actually understand) to cut the upload rate stymies work from home to a large degree. I have to work locally, log in to the companies VPN only when vital, and log out of it again when it is not. Unfortunately it means a lot of apps which take ages to open (GIS apps mainly) and work best via a remote desktop rather than VPN (By keeping the bulk data transfer inside the corporate network) fall over every time I need something that requires VPN. Not only does it take a long time to sync and upload, I burn another 5 minutes re opening programs every time I have to do it. Those lucky enough to be on just about any other tech sit on the VPN all day and use a citrix remote desktop within that for the really data hungry stuff.
PCH, we probably imported whoever did the naming.
