Live alone and don't do much, other than occasional gaming and streaming.

Like 8Mbps

If it means anything to you remember 8Mbps = 1 MBps

you really don't need much if you only need it for occasional gaming and streaming, especially if you will only be doing one at a time.

My internet at home is capped to 3.5mbps (so in reality like 0.5mb/s download) due to the area I'm in and there being virtually no providers who service it, and I can get by gaming/streaming just fine when i'm the only one on using the internet. Gaming can get a little laggy and streaming will be pixelated once other people start hopping on though...luckily I only ever do 1 thing at a time on the internet so it's manageable.

Additional bandwidth doesn’t necessarily mean faster internet access...Speed is determined by the amount of data you can download at one time but it’s also determined by the service you are connecting, their restrictions and windowing. There are very few services that require massive amounts of bandwidth or will let you consume massive amounts of bandwidth.

Add up the maximums bandwidth of the applications you use and multiply it times the number of devices that will simultaneously access the apps....and get that amount of bandwidth. There is a more precise methodology but it’s too much to type and better to have too much than not enough.

Most goofs buy way too much bandwidth, flush money down the toilet and never use it..

50Mbps is probably fine if it is just you. Would theoretically be able to stream all 4K services with a bit of headroom. 100Mbps if you worry about your ISP not fully meeting their advertised speeds.

I have 1Gbps and the only service that will use that full amount is steam. It actually is fun to watch 50GB games downloading in a few minutes. Other than that, I never use the 1Gbps.

Anything less than 1 gig fiber is poverty and you might as well be using AOL dialup tbh

I WFH and sync up to giant data dumps multiple times a day so a gig is mandatory. For porn and cod,nah

The area that I'm moving to offers Xfinity and it was what I am looking into. Was thinking of the internet plan for $35 that has 100 mbps. I don't really care for cable, as I stream everything and hate watching commercials.

You just need 10 -25 Mbps. Most people at home just need that and even that may be too much.
Das not it mayne.

Are you suggesting don't go higher than the 25mbps plan? They offer it for $25. Would that be fast enough to support Call of Duty and other gaming, when I decide to play?

If you have Verizon Fios in the area, they currently offer 200/200 Mbps for $40. I had Xfinity for a year and never again, slow and drops connection randomly

Only options are Xfinity and AT&T.

AT&T is offering 50Mbps for $45 + $10/mo for the equipment lol

Literally a rip off to charge for $10 a month for equipment


Probably windup getting Xfinity, due to no bullsh!t fees and having different options for plans. AT&T only has one plan offer.

100 or 150 (whatever is available in your area) is good enough. Anything 300 and over is way, way more than enough for that.

Every few years I upgrade my speed and get a better offer (6-7 years ago I had 150mbps for like $60/mo, upgraded to 300mbps for $70/mo with basic cable until recently my promo went away, so i upgraded to 600mbps for $60mo including taxes.)

I see 0 difference in streaming/gaming between the 150mbps and 600. However, downloading a movie/game or updating apps/games on the PC is obviously 3-4 times faster, but that's just it.

The cucked new law congress passed doesn't prevent them from renting the equipment even though they're not supposed to do it if you provide your own.

As designed.

But they give you a free $100 gift card !!!!

Def go with Xfinity they are way better than AT&T used to have AT&T Uverse, and it was OK switched over to Xfinity, and realized a difference plus they had some promotions too that helped I think I had to lock into a 2 yr contract though, but I didn't mind. I pay about $65 a month for 250MBPS down and 25 MBPS up. I live alone, and can game, misc, and have spotify running too listening to tunes. Feels good mane.

I'd recommend about 50mbps per user in the house.
