Go FIOS to solve network issues, AMAZING SPEED!
You addressed cable and satellite systems, and DSL systems, but you forgot about the No.1 fastest systems out there, and it's FIOS (Fiber Optical Coax System) as offered by Verizon locally in SoCalifornia, and other carriers back East, North, and South. It is a big investment by the companies that have/offer FIOS systems, as each network connection has a dedicated SINGULAR LINE HOOKUP to the FIOS Coax system, a dedicated FIOS Terminal, a high-end high-speed FIOS Router inside the home/business (wireless), and the FIOS lines literally have to be dug into the local streets and sidewalks, driveways, etc so that installations are complex vs simple cable, Satellite, or DSL.

When FIOS came to our neighborhood in Ventura County, CA, most everyone was hooked up with Time-Warner Cable, but no more! They are virtually gone from here now, and FIOS has been installed in virtually every single home/business where the line installs took place, bar none. Cost is about the same as cable/DSL so it's a no-brainer to go FIOS when you can pick up amazing download/upload speeds vs any other type of system, end of story! My system, for example, is a "35/35" FIOS system, and that's 35Mb/sec download AND upload also, so if you happen to construct web pages and do commercial applications which often have to upload huge quantities of data, pictures, graphics, etc to achieve your mission, the upload speeds are increased an average of 30X-35X vs the cable system that we used to have.

That is the upload speed of my "fast" cable modem system was less than 1Mb/sec, and look at me now! I can upload without concern for data acquisition and payments for excessive data inference and use at 30-35Mb/sec vs less than the 1Mb/sec speeds of the former cable system and that type of performance is very typical with FIOS. Not to mention the download speeds, I mean when have you heard of residential accounts pushing more than 35Mb/sec 24/7, with no variance whatsoever because a dedicated FIOS line is just that, and it doesn't get "throttled or cut back" when loads are at their peaks daily, nightly...it just keeps on working at its highest speed forever, literally...amazing!

My systems "speeded up" considerably with the FIOS system installed, because there is zero waiting time for pages to load vs cable/DSL or satellite systems in terms of browser performance...plus I've been a Chrome browser user for almost 3 years and counting and having FIOS plus Chrome in the house is a Godsend, to say the least!

Our computers interact more and more with the internet, even for basic functions when we need to source a major Search Engine for whatever reason, when our systems are interacting with our mobile devices, etc...there's hundreds of reasons and causes as to why we need fast internet speeds vs the "old way" of cable/DSL, and satellite systems. You WILL NOTICE a HUGE IMPROVEMENT in your system's performance with FIOS installed because it eliminates all bottlenecks and connections with secondary servers and equipment, ie in your neighbor's homes and businesses for example, so that there is no competing for bandwidth with FIOS installed: your system is a dedicated ISP address with vastly superior firepower to virtually any other type of internet hookup today, and the difference between FIOS and the other systems is totally off-scale once you begin to compare and analyze how your system performs with FIOS vs the other types of connections, bar none.

I am very surprised that you forgot to address internet connectivity and its role in system "slowness and poor response time" for interaction with your computers and mobile devices of all types, and FIOS is in a Class of One with respect to download and upload speeds, and universally disfavored "throttling", or "peak period competition" with your neighbor's systems and connections in the region you live in, and certainly FIOS is the only type of system that can administer upload and download speeds 24/7 that stay the same, have no "peak periods" competition within itself for each connection to the FIOS system. In short system speed-up will be accomplished immediately and instantaneously when your FIOS system gets online, and you will experience a level of performance never dreamed of with all things internet.

I don't work for Verizon or any other FIOS company, and I am only reporting the tip of the iceberg with respect to benefits achieved with a FIOS connection vs the traditional cable/DSL/satellite hookups that have been standardized, slowly strangling their own systems with peak time service interruptions and throttling of their internet connection speeds without fail presently, and there is no solving problems with those types of connections except to choose FIOS when it comes to your neighborhood and giving all those negatives a big push into the ocean, never to be thought of again.

With FIOS installed in a residence or business system speed-ups are a natural occurrence and part of the deal when you sign up, and it happens every time without fail to everyone who experiences FIOS firsthand. Go FIOS!
