wifi question

Have a non Sonos question but in reference to AT&T’s fiber optics internet . So I have a house full of Sonos and have no issue with my WiFi. I have AT&T’S fiber optics 500 speed, and I can say it’s been great, which replaced the cox cable that was slow and constant issues. So I just got the AT&T 1000 plan ( only $15 more) and to my surprise, the speed is slower than the 500 speed plan I had. I’m reading others have the same experience. So I’m switching back to the 500 plan. Anyone experience this or know why it would be slower?

Measuring your network speed wirelessly is a fool’s errand, way too many variables involved. Measure speed via Ethernet.

You miss the  point of my question evidently.

Please take your non-Sonos question somewhere else, then complain when someone answers it.

Clearly, yes: others have experienced it, at whatever other forum you’ve been reading.
