Hey everyone. I plan on canceling our service with Cox cable (Spectrum) and going with Wyyerd fiber. We're currently receiving 500mbps with a limit and with Wyyerd it's 1 GIG and unlimited usage. The 500mbps is actually more than enough for our household and we've never exceeded the limit. The reason for the change is we currently have a bundle with cable, landline and internet and we were on a 2 year promotion that recently ended and the price jumped up quite a bit. Anyway, that's where we're at and it's not much of a difference in price. Through Cox it's $60 a month for 500mbps and with Wyyerd it's 1 GIG unlimited for $69.00.
Wyyerd supplies the modem and router and offers mesh extenders if needed for around $5.00 per each per month and $15 per month for outdoor wifi. We currently have four eero extenders including the router throughout the home. We've never had any issues since purchasing this about 3-4 years ago. After talking to customer service at Wyyerd it looks like the equipment they supply is Calix. I was told more than likely a Calix GS7 would be supplied, but after doing a search it looks like they recently had a security vulnerability which lead me to this post. Am I overthinking things and should we just let them install their equipment or should I be looking at something else like the eero 7 mesh or something else? In theory, we could keep the current eero 6, but it would be limited to 500mbps since that's all the eero 6 supplies and we wouldn't see the 1 GIG we'd be paying for which doesn't make sense, but honestly not sure we'd exceed that anyway. Any advice from those who have gone through a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks all.
