Since I moved in to my daughters home there have been problems with her ATT provider. Poor connectivity probably due to ATT giving increased Bandwidth to Netflix. I say this because at times everything buffers and drops EXCEPT Netflix.
So if I sign up with another ISP can I expect to eliminate this problem? Or do they all sell out to NF. I am considering WOW or Spectrum available in my area.

If they service your house why not? I had ATT fiber and a Comcast business internet in my house down in South Florida.

It would depend on the carrier technology. Generally there are four choices: fibre, cable, phone wire (aka DSL) and wireless (aka cellular). I’m not in the US, but it’s been my experience there is usually only one provider over any given carrier, and other choices are resellers of the same capability. If you have redundant suppliers over the same faulty carrier, then it seems unlikely to improve reliability much.

If you have a good router, you can. I use the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter series. $60 will get you dual WAN with active routing and full features up to 300Mbps. You can get full gigabit if you can do without traffic analysis and QOS. Just turn on hardware offloading.
