Just a Tip
My internet speed was 100 mbps, I have never had a glitch or buffer when streaming from Tidal. I called my IP because they have 300 mbps available, they said they will send me a new modem and I wouldn't get 300 until it was installed.
I sat down last night just to listen to music and noticed my system was sounding really good, unusually so. I remembered contacting the internet company so did a speed test, it showed I was getting 205 mbps. For whatever reason the increase in internet speed gave me a nice improvement in sound quality. It was like an overall improvement, a higher resolution sound if you will.
It's worth the boost if you aren't already getting your highest internet speed.Aurender ACS10 w/Audioquest Diamond USB, Esoteric N05xd

Our cable provider has 300mpbs for its basic. But I upgraded to 1GB on one of their upgrade specials ( trying it for a year) No delays on anything and they also just finished installing FTTH in my area but its not ready yet.

Re: Just a Tip
That's great that you are getting a SQ improvement. Made the upgrade worth it!
We upgraded from a maxed-out AT&T 25mbs to someone else at ~500mb/s and are very pleased with all around usability on everything connected.
I wasn't streaming prior to that so I can't compare SQ."We are all billionaires because of the huge piles sweet dough rolling in from our participation in the ongoing campaign to suck your collective brains through a stirrer-straw." - PTA Editorial Staff

Re: Just a Tip
They recently installed fiber optic internet service in my area.
