Cox Business Internet

What got me even considering this is that at my house, with 150mb
service and a few devices streaming and playing games my general
download speeds and browsing speeds become noticeably bad despite my
speedtests continuously showing awesome speeds.

But at my office, with 50 or so other people using the same Cox
dedicated business account with 100mb speeds, it is consistently faster
than my house. And at the office most people are streaming music and or
netflix while surfing the web, despite all of that traffic speedtests
and general surfing speed is noticeably faster.

My assumption was the dedicated 100mb vs my shared 150mb and I thought
maybe a dedicated 25mb would be cool, plus a bonus of ports I want.

But you are saying there is not difference in the network makes me
really suspicious. What else could be different?
