She recently moved to Spectrum's 200 Mbps plan, but downloads still slow down to about 20 Mbps. There are also frequent service interruptions whenever I enter my room. I suspect the modem and router might be limiting performance, as they’re both over 6-8 years old. I’m considering upgrading the equipment but need help convincing her it’s worthwhile. I shared a video from Linus explaining the advantages of upgrading, but she didn’t watch it and asked me to detail the benefits instead.

The issue might be that one device supports 200mbps while the other doesn't, or vice versa. Check if both are configured correctly and compatible with each other.

Gather real performance metrics by linking directly to the modem via Ethernet and conducting a speed test. Check if the modem limits overall throughput. Use wireless diagnostic tools to assess signal strength across your home, identify channels with minimal interference, and detect packet loss issues.

Seek some freelance work and save one yourself—it's quite affordable. Plus, your parents will be really impressed. Best of luck!

Your equipment is likely outdated. The basic idea is that you're paying for higher speeds but not receiving them.

It seems you want to rephrase something. Could you clarify the text you'd like adjusted?

The speed test showed Ethernet at 65.3 Mbps, down by 11.6 Mbps; Wifi 2 at 2-10 Mbps, up by 10-12 Mbps. Recorded near the router and modem on September 17, 2019 by AzrealNoctis.

The product you receive must justify its cost. You wouldn't pay a premium for steak and expect a fast-food burger, would you?

Both upgrades seem worthwhile—modem and Wi-Fi should be improved. It looks like a solid case for moving forward. Expect around 10 times the speed you need. Fixing it could cost as much as 1–2 months of service.

You need clear evidence to show your mother you're serious about convincing her. When she sees real proof or a demonstration, she'll pay attention. Most people in the psychic community do this by presenting their findings openly. Just lay everything out so she can grasp your message.
