I'm all ears.

That's why nobody's got a cam on you Willie, it's the ears!
In my case it's because there's not an F-stop high enough to handle the brilliance
*if* you want to use the full speed for fios you have to either plug in to one of the ethernet ports, or disable the router and use your own, but it doesn't seem like you really need to, if not I'd see if they can downgrade you & maybe save some money (not sure if they offer a 25/25 but that's pretty much the max for their red/black [2 antennas] router over wifi, even standing right next to it). the newer dual-band (black w/ single, built-in antenna [housed inside, not visible] & slim) one can do up to 50 (really) close range on 5ghz but 2.4 really suffers on that one & that seems like what you are using, I tried that one & had to send it back bc my 2 roommates both were still using 2.4. To me, it was just really bugging me bc when we moved in, we were paying for gigabit, yet they gave us the worst router on earth that could only get 25/25 max over wifi.
Their solution/suggestion to me was to just have cat6 cables running up/down stairs & all over the house, unbelievable.
If you do want to get your own router I can definitely walk you through it, you'll have to disable theirs & just use it as a modem. most modern routers have an auto-detect/setup feature so you'd be good there.
zomg Netflix is 100x easier than cable. My grandma loves it (set her up w/ a couple of fireTV's and saved her $100/mo). Plus your days of scrolling through some arbitrary schedule, finding shows to record are over, once it's set up you use a maximum of 4 buttons to operate it, literally just hold down a button, speak to Google assistant (in my case, but fire TV's have Alexa) and tell it what you want to watch, all the shows you like/are watching are conveniently displayed at the top, & when you select one, it takes you right back to where you left off. All of them (hulu/Amazon etc.) are setup pretty much the same too... if you want to, give it a go for like a month (they're pretty cheap compared to what you've got) & see how it goes.
There's also something else to consider, psvue/sling, which I dabble in occasionally, are set up very much the same as cable, even have a built-in dvr but cost ~$25/mo.
It's also great (I use Nvidia shields) for controlling my phillips hue and nest thermometer but that's just an added bonus.
Your speed is good but I'd first make sure your router is capable of MU-MIMO. which is simultaneous sending of packets, it's doable without that but you'll see some buffering when using 2 or more devices at once. Most modern routers have that but i mention it bc all the ones I've seen that providers... provide (ie force you to rent) are not very good, bottom of the line stuff, for example none of the fios ones have that feature. I'm allowed to use my own modem/router which is imo the best situation, as you can see they're somehow letting an extra 300+mbps that I didn't pay for slip by. Only thing I can think of is that my new modem is DOCSIS 3.1 vs my old 3.0 one that crapped out.
I just found out aol has been charging my mom 9.99/mo for the last five years without her consent [emoji52] they sent me an e-mail, (when I was in high school, I set up her dial-up) saying that the last payment hadn't gone through, most likely bc she got rid of the card after paying it off.
The way it started is even crazier, we haven't had aol for years but we both still use their e-mail (I use it for junk that requires you to provide an e-mail) they apparently charge for tech support & the last time she called in with an issue was 5 years ago. Same thing happened to my uncle but he caught it.
I never noticed a problem with that for either fios or my current one (Cox, pretty much the same as Comcast xfinity) but granted I don't spend much time on Facebook. I do use it to update & upload videos to my dad's band page (yeah, he's in a band lol)

I watch the eagle...........
We have eagles around here, there is a couple nests next to the river not far up the road, man they are big. Didn't use to have them here but over just the last five years they've grown in numbers to the point it's now common to see them flying overhead. What's surprised me is the rabbit population has come back at the same time.
There was a giant owl living out back of my old place, the thing was huge the head was as big as a humans. In fact a little dog went missing a while back (one if those mini poodle/chihuahua type dogs) & I strongly suspect the owl carried it off, bc I've seen it carrying raccoons & whatnot.
Never got a photo of him but I also see tons of eagles & ospreys when we go out in the bass boat (sorry about the quality, had to zoom in like crazy to get these).

Beautiful birds.
lol @ his little legs, looks like he's wearing pants. like when you're a kid and you put a pair of pants on your arms... are they still endangered? bc I see a lot of them when I'm fishing.

Anyone have a source for Seedman Virginia Fire Cured? I was buying it from WL but they don't carry it anymore.
