Internet Speeds
You can upgrade to a better ISP for more consistent speeds. A higher quality connection could give you 150 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up, which would be ideal for streaming. However, compare prices to see if the cost difference matters for your needs.
It seems 30 will perform better than 5 for streaming, giving you more flexibility for other activities. Download speeds might be slower, but with fewer heavy users at home, it should work fine.
Check the 150 Mbps speed; it should handle 720p at 60 frames per second. Currently, your setup is on a non-fiber connection and typically delivers around 2 Mbps.
I’m not aware of any current internet packages that consistently offer around 30Mbps upload speeds with reliable downloads near $35 per month.
Uncertain about your location. Globally, most places offer limited choices. Here, we have just one ISP—Comcast. Their maximum speeds are 1 Gbps down and 35 Mbps up via coaxial cable. If you can afford their fiber plan, it provides 2 Gbps down and 2 Gbps up. Although the price is steep—think a fist, an arm, a leg, and a kidney.
