Not quite on topic, but I will say that I have had Verizon FIOS 75/75 for years and have been mostly happy with it. But for the past few months it has been horrible, Painfully slow, dropped connections every 10 minutes. Ridiculously bad.

You too, huh? I was wondering if maybe this was there hint - we've got a great upgrade package for you - premium TV channels too. Just another $75 per month plus taxes and fees.

I have an LG smart TV.

The chip/Wifi reciever in it conked out on me. It kept slowing (while watching something “streaming”) and then would register “connected”, “not connected”. And I had to go restore the connection, but eventually it stoped holding the connection altogether.

I found (on the web) that it was a problem reported with many LG smart TVs. I moved my router to where I could hook up the TV via an ethernet cable.

I don’t get a drop or slowing of the connection, but the stupid smart TV still puts messages in the upper right corner of the screen, off and on when I am using things like Netflix - Internet not Connected, followed almost immediately with Internet Connected. The connection holds in spite of the stupid connections.

Won’t buy another LG TV.
