    T-Mobile home internet 15 to 25 mbps download and 5 to 10 upload. For $30 dollars a month it allows me to stream tv. I have a lot faster options but they are $70 or more a month.

    AT&T gig fiber has been a god send with over 26 connected devices at the same time. We consistently use over 2-3 TB per month so having a solid high bandwidth connection has been necessary.

    Verizon 5G home internet plus usually I get around 300-400 down, 25-80 upload. For $45/month that’s good enough for me👍🏻. Stream tv, stream video on phone/iPad, Telehealth video appointments through video chat. Works good.

    3:02 100mbps downlink is without any 1.5x or 2x speeds that streaming platforms are allowing for content to be consumed with less time.
    Need min 250mbps for that RESERVE capacity.

    300 down and 11 up for me. 13 cameras. Heavy gaming and 4k streaming on one device. Seems good so far. But, spectrum Internet can be very picky with connection issues. Spectrum Internet has a lot of problems with going out, which sucks, because it's good when it's working.

      Just signed my daughter up for 500, I may see how it goes and back it down the following month. Heavy internet gaming, 4k streaming, wifi lightbulbs, thermostat, and I believe 4 cameras, one Alexa. All she has is Xfinity available which I despise. Glad I read your comment, and wish I had prior to signing up 😂

    I have T-Mobile home internet and I get 600 down and 70 up. It works great for 2 4k tvs and two Xbox’s running at the same time. Plenty of left over bandwidth for other things in the future.

    I have T-Mobile Home internet. It's fine for 1080P streaming and the 4K TV does a good job of upscaling, that's all I need. I don't intentionally stream 4K content although sometimes a You Tube video might default to that.

    We have 25 MBs dsl and it works fine for us. no 4k tv everything we watch is in 1080p.
    No issue, not gamers and we have a price lock for life.

  • @dennisp8520

    What people neeed versus what people want are two different things. Technically speaking, even someone like myself can get away with a 50/10mbps internet connection. I wouldn't love it but their wouldn't be a task that I could not do with that kind of internet speed. It would just hamper my productivity and mean things like my security cameras would need to be lowered in resolution quality.
    However I feel a realistic goal for households to have "fast" internet where they don't feel bandwidth constrained is around that 100mbps download mark by like 20mbps upload. Latency is still gunna be more important though for most people since most things that we do online to this day don't require a lot of bandwidth at one time. The only consumer use case where higher bandwidth speeds are beneficial are when downloading or uploading large files. Outside of that even video is really well optimized.
    Now in regards to what people want, I feel like 300mbps is right around where people want to be for a download speed, especially when it comes to gamers since digital files for games have gotten quite large.
    Edit1: I forgot to mention I personally have gig symtricial from Fios which is more bandwidth than I ever need and that's a good feeling to have

      Multiple 4K streams is the capacity sapper. Outside of that, there’s some wiggle room.

  • @etexas
    @etexas Рік тому +1

    Are we just assuming decent latency and jitter? I need latency to be no more than 100ms so I can do a teams call decently. This is just for a code monkey, nothing fancy just web development tasks working from home.
    If you are into professional gaming, you need sub 50ms latency or you're gone

    Most people don't even need 100 mbps. In most cases 50 mbps will work just fine. People are fixed on what speed tests show. If it works, it works.

    • @realsmt
      @realsmt  Рік тому +2

      The main factor is video streaming connections. Possibly cameras. 50 Mbps wouldn’t hold up for a few 4K tvs and a camera system so you would be wrong.

    • @Pratik30041
      @Pratik30041 Рік тому +1

      @Sneed, I have seen Tyrone do speed tests at his home where he gets 50 - 70 mbps variable speed. It holds up fine with multiple 4k tvs runn along with some downloads simultaneously. He shows he does not see any buffering. But then his pings are always under 20 milliseconds. That could also be a factor.

    • @WeSRT4
      @WeSRT4 Рік тому +2

      @@realsmt Ok let's be realistic and blunt here. How many people would actually have multiple 4k streams going at once? Even if they did, would they actually notice if the stream dropped to 1080p? Did you know that you probably sit too far from your TV to actually tell the difference? Most people don't even have a TV that's big enough to tell the difference at their viewing distance! Cameras are on dependent on the upload speed entirely so why are you bringing that into this argument? Most camera systems only record to the cloud on the camera that detects motion or better yet detects a person. Typically that requires 5 mbps or less of UPLOAD bandwidth per stream. I'm going to go even further.... You seem to be pushing FWA. The typical tower will become overloaded as the carriers continue to push this new segment and they know it. You are sitting here saying that 50 mbps isn't enough for the average home but you think FWA is a viable solution. THINK! How do those two statements simultaneously make ANY sense? How many homes would it take to overload a tower that is only pushing 500-1000 mbps???
