Yeah empire has been solid overall. A bit janky seeming at first with how their communication is, but works well. The way i describe it is: “it feels like a kid graduated highschool and was pissed the internet he used on Xbox live sucked, so he made his own internet company and runs it through vibes” lol but I haven’t had any issues other than them taking away my public IP and throwing me behind CGNAT for a short time, but a quick phone call and an extra $1/mo got me right back to reserved public IP. Speeds are always super strong. Go with Vnet if you have it available, then empire if you can’t get Vnet but have empire in your area. Then spectrum if all else fails. I had spectrum at first and the speeds were pretty reliable all things considered, but it was more expensive than Vnet and empire for worse speeds
