Actually, I get inconsistent results with TWC during non-peak hours, however fortunately barely under 25 Mbps d/l speed for my 50/5 account. Occasionally this can interfere somewhat with my streaming, also however this is not too often. Especially if you're connected wirelessly, as I am, your router plays a big part. Whenever I test low I reboot my router and I'm usually good...back to norm.

I find a big difference as well, otherwise I wouldn't be spending the additional money per month that I do. I feel like Captain Kirk pushing Scottie for "more speed!".

I have a Linksys EA6200. It enables me to wireless obtain the fastest speeds that my ISP pushes, 50Mbps/5Mbps, and much of the time to exceed it slightly. I just checked and scored 54.6 Mbps. I'm not sure that ANY more expensive router would enable me to do much better. Anywhere in my house,  including the  back  porch, I can stream uninterrupted.
