And to put a finer point on it (and this is more for my curiosity than
helping you), why is 30-40 Mb/s not adequate? What is it that you're
trying to do?
Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit this, but we went with the
cheapest, 40 Mb/s tier on our fiber service, 'cause it works fine for
everything we do.

<div><br>

<div>The laptop specs call out 802.11b/g/n wireless. The data
