Sorry about the confusion. The main offer I posted was for 100Mbps, but select locations might get a better offer of 500Mbps for the same price.

They are rolling out symmetrical speeds everywhere by the end of next year, but certain places have them already. I signed up for this for my parents who only barely use internet, mostly for IoT devices and streaming cable TV. 100mbps works fine unless you're downloading large files all the time. Price is better than ATT Uverse 24mbps plan.
Only other option is Verizon 5G wireless, which isn't suitable since I work from home. Not even sure if they give you a public IP address.

- Spectrum Fiber with no competition: Connectivity will be good and rarely drop but expect same speeds as COAX ie 100 down 15 up. Why? You know the answer. I would advise get your own router.
- Spectrum Fiber with competition: Somehow speeds are now synchronous and price matching exactly as your competitor. Again get your own router
- Spectrum COAX (with or without competition): it really depends on how old the infra is. I am stuck with this but its a newer community and rarely have issues. But I bought my own DOCSIS 3.1 Modem and router. My neighbors have issues but I do not and I suspect cause of poor router placement and slower older modem/router combo.
Most of the time connectivity issues stem from low powered routers. Too many sessions that the CPU cannot keep up with or not enough resources to handle too many clients at the same time.On a side note, I do selfhost some stuff and have family and friends accessing my server all over the world. It works just fine. Not as fast and good as when I had fiber but it works,
