How is the author getting a symmetric 600mbps connection with Monkeybrains? They're an awesome local ISP and provide internet via roof mounted PtM wireless connections.

I want to love them, but sadly I only get an unreliable 80mbps/40mbps connection from them. With occasional latency spikes that make it much worse. To make up for this I run a multi-WAN gateway connecting to my neighbor/friend's Comcast as well. Here's the monkeybrains (https://i.imgur.com/FaByZbw.jpeg) vs comcast (https://i.imgur.com/jTa6Ldk.jpeg) latency log.

Curious if the author had to do anything special to get a symmetric 600mbps from Monkeybrains. They make no guarantees about speed at all, but are quite cheap, wholesome, and have great support. Albeit support hasn't been able to get me anywhere close to the author's speeds.



I love Monkeybrains! I had something in the neighborhood of a 600mbps symmetric connection through them in the late 2010s when I lived in SF. The only issue was when it rained hard the speeds would deteriorate.

Interesting you're getting such slow speeds. Ask them if a tech can stop by and troubleshoot with you.
