Just a heads up to peeps like me who live outside cable and dsl area's. Just got this installed today and it works great. Don't know how accurate speedtest is but it says I'm getting 25 Mbs down/17 Mbs up. Latency has been anywhere from 50 ms to 70 ms. I play on Xbox Live quite a bit from time to time and it works pretty well on there, no lag. I did have to configure some port forwarding and port triggering, and that was a bit of a headache (at first i just configured port forwarding and it was iffy, but after I set up port triggering it has worked well).

It's kind of expensive and it's obviously not for those who already have cable/dsl access, but if all you've got is satellite or dial-up or even using a hotspot on your phone like I was, this is way better.

It looks alright for people outside of Cable/DSL, but what blows is it has Data caps. I would be careful about how much online gaming, and downloading you do the first month or so till you figure out how much data you will regularly use. Just my .02...

Gaming doesn't use a whole lot of data, unlike streaming videos, that's the real killer. I've gauged my data use before for online gaming and it only uses about 150 mb's an hour (depending on the game). For the first 2 months Verizon gives you 50% more data allowance so you can see what plan really fits you.

But yeah, data caps suck. If it were unlimited I'd get a netflix account and be set.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I have never seen this cat play a single snap of football, BUT, I really hope that we're not counting on a 25 yo, UDFA who played 6 years of college ball to suddenly replace our starting LB.  Sounds to me like Dean Jones needed a story and didn't have anything else to write about. Wishing the guy luck though, cool nickname.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'll go 1 further than that. This 23 year old had spent 4 years as a middle of the pack college player before exploding onto the scene as a 5th year senior, then we have enough faith in him to trade up 1 spot so that we can get a 5th year option and guarantee his salary. So in about a year's time he went from a mid round pick to a first rounder. It would be hard NOT to let that go to your head! I'm going to trust that the staff know what they're doing with XL and not give him too much crap about being a dumbass LAST season, as long as he doesn't continue to be one.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By Icege · Posted

      From Brugler's scouting report... Tavareon “Bam” Martin-Scott picked up his nickname because of the fireworks celebration he typically receives to celebrate his birthday. He grew up playing pee wee football in Fort Wayne, Ind., but developed late and was mostly a part-time player until his senior year at Snider High (alma mater of Jessie Bates). He posted 87 tackles and 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2018, but it wasn’t enough to put him on the recruiting radar. A no-star recruit, he played two seasons with Dodge City (Kan.) Community College and then received several SEC offers. His playing time and production gradually increased each season for the Gamecocks, and he put intriguing flashes on film. Martin-Scott is a good-sized athlete, with pursuit speed to match races to the perimeter. He competes with a banger mentality to pinball off blocks and stay determined on his path to the ball. Overall, Martin-Scott freelances a tad too much with inconsistent steps in coverage, but he is a classic run-and-hit linebacker who likes to play loose and chase plays — necessary ingredients for NFL special teams. grade: Free Agent
