Check if 500Mbps suits your needs.
I've been getting 500Mbps for more than six months now. I'm completely satisfied—it's very fast. However, I feel like I might be overpaying or using more than necessary. We all share the same internet connection, and we each have gaming consoles, phones, and computers. We stream 2K and 720p videos daily, watch Netflix regularly, and stream videos too. Should we lower our speed to save money? I don’t want any lag at all. Any suggestions would be great.
at my place we have four people streaming netflix in 4k, downloading steam games at 10mbps, and playing online simultaneously. our internet speed is 90mbps in belgium.
From an ISP standpoint, combining all gig customers minus steady downloads, the strongest speeds we typically observe reach around 120mbps. Beyond 60mbps, real-world gains are minimal unless someone is heavily downloading. Streaming tends to be inconsistent, and TCP allows spreading several 4k streams over a single 60mpbs connection, which limits performance. For file downloads, it’s all about speed when you need it most.
It varies based on how often you download games and how long you need to wait before playing an uninstalled title.
Avoid downloading and uploading large files often to maintain performance
