Internet Service Providers advice

[TokyoWart]

Apologies if I missed an existing thread on this; I could not find one in my search. I am considering moving from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps which will mean switching from Sonet to (possibly) Softbank. Does anyone have experience or advice on switching to and using a 10 Gbps ISP?

If I understand correctly our current set-up uses a modem from NTT East so the physical line is from NTT but our ISP is Sonet. They've been okay so far but we are having trouble getting wifi throughout our 3 story house and have been told we can't just get additional repeaters for our existing Apple router because they aren't compatible with Apple and Apple is no longer in this space. I didn't want to just get a new router and additional repeaters which lock us in at our current 1 Gbps since we seem to be becoming heavier users of our bandwidth so I'm trying to make one upgrade once instead of two smaller upgrades over time. My grasp of these technical details is terrible and I've come to this understanding after long visits at Apple, Bic Camera and with the NTT service people who replaced our modem recently. There's a fair chance I have misunderstood something along the way...

The ISP provides the routers and any repeaters if necessary these days. You don't need to buy them unless you have some special need to.
I also used to have an Apple WiFi router. Don't use it since I changed my fiber provider to SoftBank a few years ago.

Thank you for the response. Have you been happy with Softbank?

They are OK. I have 1 phone contract with them so get a bit of a bundled discount.
I moved from JCOM cable. I think that was more stable, but more expensive. With Netflix and other subscription services, i didn't want to pay for AXN and other stuff, so decided to switch.

Speeds are OK with SoftBank - it is NTT FTTH. I do have a couple of areas with poor reception for the WiFi in my house that I should try and fix.

They are OK...

Thanks very much for sharing your experience.
