When I called Big Bend MIT to come over and take a look at my internet speed and connection, they…read morecould not identify the problem as I am paying for 900 mb from AT&T fiber and the TVs always circling and we can't enjoy our shows. Also uploading my videos to my YouTube channel was a nightmare. So they suggested a wireless system that will outperform anything else and will solve all my problems.
They wanted to charge me $699 per device and $125 installation and configuration, saying that I need 2 for the house, 1 for downstairs and 1 for upstairs. I thought this is nuts, simply expensive. I paid their consultation fee of $125 for nothing.
I went to best buy and I spoke with the geeks squad about my problem, he was very helpful, he recommended Orbi two devices for $762 and instructed me on how to install it and how user friendly and easy to do. I paid for it and took it home, I sat them up myself and tried it out. What a great wifi, I was able to get internet all over the place. No dead spots in my house anymore. But the internet speed still bad while I am paying premium, TVs still circling and my uploads takes forever. I called the geeks squad and requested a visit to see if I have done something wrong. They came to my house and the guy was so helpful and professional. However he could not get my internet speed up. I asked him to return the equipment back and he said he can't take them, I had to go to the store and return them. Anyhow, I called AT&T for the zillionth time and they indicated that everything from their end was perfect. So I was lost. I called Big Bend MIT again and I asked if they guarantee their work and they said they warranty their work for life. I was like ok come on in and get this done. The technician showed up and had the equipment, it was linksys and she started working. I was like, I saw that at best buy and they did not recommend it to me, jeez this problem is not going to be solved.
After a while she told me she was done and asked me to look at the internet speed on her phone. I was like, I don't care what your phone shows, I am going to try the internet speed myself. I turned on my apple TV and put on a movie, then fast forward, no circling. I was like oh well ok, then I went to my computer and tried to upload a video to my YouTube channel and it uploaded it in few seconds. I was like alright, wow, ok then what? I guess the problem is gone! My bill was nuts, $1648 but I sucked it up since the problem was solved.
So anyway I was at Walmart and found those linksys 3 devices for 469 and I was pissed off. I requested the associate to show me those and he said he cant open the box so I bought them and came back home to find out those looked the same but much smaller in size and lighter in weight. Honestly I was relieved. So anyway I unplug the devices I just bought from Bug Bend MIT and plug those new ones to try them, and it was like the orbi, coverage everywhere but internet was very slow. So I packed them again and took them to Walmart for returns. I came back and plug the devices I bought from Big Bend MIT and the speed was outstanding. Honestly, it was worth every penny, they are not cheep but they don't cut on the quality. They solved my problem once and for all. I highly recommend them, especially for wifi.
