@scottalanmiller I can get residential gigabit access where I live in Texas.
Let me know when you finish that data center in your basement. I might rent some space from you, lol.
I believe the same rules apply "no business use allowed"

It's not business use. I'm just a friend helping to offset his internet costs.

As well as power and cooling costs. In fact I would be willing to offset some hardware and management costs as well.

I can get gigabit at my house in the middle of no where. Right now I'm just on the 150Meg plan though (software limited, it can be bumped up to a gigabit with a simple call).

Lucky. What is the cost of that?

150meg is $60, gigabit is $120. 2gig is $300. I don't think my CPE will handle 2 gig though.

Who offers 2Gb/s for residential?

Wow... that's really good. I pay $60 for 50/5.

I was thinking that was Chatanooga, TN via EPB, but they're offering 10Gb, not some measly 2gig!

Pretty much everyone? There's a Fiber OANs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-access_network) here all along any main roads though so maybe we are just spolied.

I've never seen it offered before, anywhere. Even single Gig is pretty hard to find in residential still.

I know of no service offering residential service greater than gigabit.
I am sure that it exists, but not as a normal advertised service. -

One Community has fiber all over NE Ohio, but limits who can actually use it. What's the point of building out publicly accessible fiber if you make it difficult to access/use? I've literally got 40Gb fiber running THROUGH MY FRONT YARD, yet the best speed the local internet providers offer is 50Mb/3Mb. Up until last year it was 20Mb/1.5Mb. They've even got ~5 miles of 100Gb available up in Cleveland.So yeah, lots of available fiber, no residential service!

Back to the original topic - I have one of the regular Unifi UAP units, which was working fine until the 2.4ghz spectrum got too crowded. All the channels are clogged and I'm now barely clearing 2-5Mbps. I thought that would be a thing of the past with a regular house, but there's too much wifi in the neighborhood. I'm now upgrading to the AC Lite which has 2.4 and 5ghz bands. We'll see how that goes. Some people have recommended Open Mesh to me as well:

Oh and I highly recommend powerline Ethernet, as I have the whole house wired on that:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUD1M66/For anything that is near a plug and doesn't move, I pop one of those in place and I get great throughput. The only things on wireless are phones, tablets and laptops.

I used powerline Ethernet around 2001.

For the PowerLine ethernet to work, is it still a requirement that both of the Powerline adapters be on the same circuit?

I thought it was that they both had to be on the same leg of 110?

All kinds of things can cause issues with powerline systems. They are better than they used to be but ideally you want same leg and same circuit and same everything for best results.
