A guy lives in an apartment building with 40 units. Every unit has a router. Every router shipped from the ISP on the same default Wi-Fi channel. 40 routers. One channel. All screaming over each other like 40 people trying to talk in the same room at the same volume. He called Comcast 3 times complaining about slow internet. They upsold him from a 200 Mbps plan to a 500 Mbps plan $30/month more. His speeds didn't change. Because the problem was never the plan. It was the channel. His neighbor, a network engineer who's spent 14 years designing and securing corporate networks for hospitals and data centers, heard him complaining through the wall one night during a dropped Zoom call. "Can I look at your router for 2 minutes?" He looked at the settings. He looked at the placement. He ran one speed test. "You're paying for 500 Mbps and getting 74. Your ISP sold you a faster highway. The problem is your on-ramp. Your router is inside a cabinet, on a congested channel, running 3-year-old firmware, using the slowest DNS in the country, broadcasting on the wrong band, and secured with a password printed on a sticker anyone in this hallway could read. You don't need a faster plan. You need 15 minutes in your router settings." He changed 9 things. The speed test went from 74 Mbps to 440 Mbps. Same plan. Same apartment. Same ISP. He called Comcast the next day and downgraded back to the 200 Mbps plan. His Wi-Fi was still faster than it was on 500. "Your ISP would rather sell you a faster plan than fix your settings. One makes them $30/month. The other costs them a 5-minute phone call they'll never make." Here are the 9 things he changed 🧵
