    I always love the underlying comedy in these videos!
  • Hi, you are, among everybody I've seen so far, the most knowledgeable guy on internet when advising people about television. You not only say what is good to know but most important, what is bad to do and how to avoid mistakes. I already bought my USB to Ethernet adapter and is arriving today. Thank you so much for your help!
  • @c8bond
    Brought the adapter mentioned and just tried it on my Sony X90J, worked a treat and internet speed has tripled, great work Vincent, keep up the great work
  • @Hawk-pr7bu
    This adapter works on LG G3 77'. From 95 to 350 Mbps!! There is a catch though, it only gave me the full speed when I used the first USB port on top. Plugged in on the 2nd port the first time and just got 50Mbps. Thank you very much, Vincent!
  • @gabeh711
    This channel helped me spend so much money, LOL. Helped me buy my LG CX, then my HDMI cables, and now this handy-dandy USB adapter! (Bought it through your links again to give you my support!) Thanks Vincent! ;-P
  • @vett1635
    You see this is why I stay subscribed to this guy. Just boosted my TV Internet speed from a $15 adapter because of Vincent! Thank you Vincent great content as always!

    I stream games to my 4K TV through Sunshine in my living room since I lack one in my own room, and don't want to move a 30lbs PC every time I want to play on the big screen. Apartment has too many walls, and I run a switch to the TV, buy it's port is 10/100mbps. Through your method, I was able to up my streaming resolution and quality a lot due to the higher bandwidth. You're brilliant, Vincent!
  • @tommydee1978
    Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Bought one and the results are amazing near 5 times the speed I was used to. I can now stream prime etc in UHD HDR with no fluctuating data rates.😊
  • @SuperExige
    Thank you Vincent, to return the favour I’ve ordered the cable through your link, and passed the info on to all my friends. Thank you for all your efforts to bring us all the content and reviews that you do🙏🏼
  • @dsharp2981
    Best recommendation I have ever encountered. I purchased the same adapter and my speed doubled! Thank you Vincent!!!
  • @magnumlemos
    I was here researching different TV models, I found you and you solved all my problems, I just can't buy through your link because I'm from Brazil. But you gained a follower.
  • @clarkkent7150
    Hi Vincent!, just bought a Sony Bravia and searched Youtube for help setting up the brand new beauty sitting in my living room. Just wanted to say that your videos are the most helpful i've seen. (And pretty friggin funny too!) Thanks for all you do. A+
  • @BeersYourFriend
    That’s incredible! You’re without question the best when it comes to TV tips and tricks. Thanks so much for all the great content!
  • @haukionkannel
    So manufacturers also cheap on lan ports and some also with USB ports… Good work again! This was most usefull!
  • I purchased the adapter from Amazon, got it today, installed and first test was 700 plus download and almost 300 upload. Installed on a 2022 Sony x80k. Thanks for the information!
  • @SuperLanyard
    Thanks for the tip! Ordered this adapter. Plugged it into the USB 3.0 (Blue) slot and it DOUBLED the speed! Wow!
  • @AlexKidd4Fun
    Oh Vinny, all of your videos are straight from the heart. ❤ ... 😁
  • @xkeepersvk
    This just proves that its stupid for the manufaturers to cut cost on a 2k TV. 1Gbps chip costs maybe $1.
  • @angiehung
    Thank you! Just bought the cable via your link and confirmed my Sony XBR 900H speed, and Netflix speed, increased greatly.
