100/100 is enough. And it's always 100/100!

For only internet then salt is OK. But you cant get internet alone with Salt.

Since I had the square router installed - the wifi is worse. It was supposed to be an upgrade. I do have a voip on it, a tv and 3-4 other gadgets on it and my cell bound to the contract. I am thinking of moving to Salt, it is not that I am often in areas where signal would be weaker, I know people say that Salt has poorer coverage.

So don't use WIFI. LAN cable is ALWAYS better

I cannot see us walking around with cabled tablets, cell and laptop It beats a bit all the perks of portable technology. You never watched a movie on your tablet, out of your bathtub?

I wonder if it is just that particular router with a sucky hardware.

Well I don't like having my brain fried with all these WIFI rays

Hmmm. No bluetooth headphones? No microwave, either?

I actually agree with you. I don't think it is that harmless. But if it is me or my neighbors with their dosens of gadgets..plus the trainstations now and buses, unies, schools and companies. No cables.

Well with neighbours,trainstations etc one has no choice. But you choose to have HIFI at home. And when you sleep next to the transmitter?

I don't. My bedroom is a temple.

Don't worry. It can't get much worse.

SAlt TV is inferior. Its a step back to the past as far as quality goes. Inferior SD quality over Zatoo ( which is anyhow free ) without Salt. So they arent giving anything here. Its a joke

It really not a risk for you

Sky's the limit. Or rather, your internal infrastructure.
My home is just gigabit-level (switches, routers etc) and thus my speed is in that range. However, by playing around with link aggregation and such, I was able to get into the 2 GB territory. I am reliably hitting the 1 Gbps limit of the physical cards and switches I have around (and keep in mind this also depends on your peer's speed, i.e. how fast the remote end can send stuff).
I read of folks who got into the 8-9 Gbps range with consumer-grade hardware over a direct cable connection (PC -> Salt box). Some details and tests are hidden in this long thread (in German).

You can connect a DECT base station for classical telephony (free calls within Switzerland) and the Salt box has a 10 Gbps Ethernet port which you can then wire to a 10 Gbps switch (be prepared to shell out proper money for that switch if buying new). The AppleTV, albeit iffy (and I really hate the lockdown of their ecosystem), is a major step forward from the big, slow and unreliable STBs provided by others. At 50 CHF/month (40 if you're their customer for mobile telephony as well) plus 99 CHF installation fee, it's a no-brainer when compared with the traditional providers.

FWIW I changed to Wingo for my home internet (fiber optic) and wireless. Very pleased with it. Wingo IS Swisscom-- it's their "millennial" brand, which just means that there are no Wingo stores to go into if you need help. ;-) They only offer online support or you pay by the minute to call them.


The good news is, because they are Swisscom, you are using Swisscom's network. Which, for me, has been working perfectly. My only issue with Swisscom was the price of the service. And Wingo is way cheaper. They also offer some free roaming options with the mobile plan that helped me make the decision to change... Swisscom mobile was far too expensive for roaming.


Anyhow, if the (IMHO minor) limitations don't bother you, Wingo might be a good choice.

Upgraded my Swisscom Abo to InOne internet/TV. Now double the speed and alot more new TV senders. And it cost me nothing!! Swisscom you are so great

Thanks very much to all the helpful replies.
I started a chat with Swisscom again, this time in German and they offered to refund half the costs (CHF100) which I'm happy with so I'm content to stay with them.
None of the competition seems convincing anyway so I'm quite relieved.

Probably your German that sealed the deal

Wow, Gigabit Internet, TV and Mobile for CHF99 per month on the Swisscom network sounds great.
Is it the same TV box?

Yep, I'm sure she fell for my "charming" grammatical case errors when typing on the fly

I quit UPC. Now I have a combination of (Fixed) Naxoo basic, (29 francs a month for TV, unlimited telephone in CH and 10 Mb of internet), in addition to: (Mobile) Yallo Home internet for 39 francs a month. The problem with Yallo is that they advertise a "Max download 250 Mb with the included router".
I understand that you can't expect to always get the max but I don't even get 120 Mb. Sometimes I get as much as 112 Mb but, that is rare. I often get around 60 to 80 Mb. But, sometimes I get only 12 to 17 Mb. I have complained but, nothing has changed. I live within Centerville Geneva So, they can't say I don't have good cell tower coverage.
