How Much Internet Speed Does Your Home Need?
Speed is a household question, not just a number on a plan card.
Count people and peak use
Start with simultaneous users: video calls, TV streaming, online classes, uploads, gaming and smart devices. A plan that feels fine at midday can feel constrained during the evening peak.
Choose with headroom
Leave some capacity for new devices and overlapping activities. Then confirm the plan is available at your address before making a decision.
Check the connection where you use it
If performance feels different from room to room, compare a wired test near the router with WiFi in the rooms used most often. Repeat during a busy period and note which activities are running. This helps separate a WiFi coverage issue from a plan or service issue before you request a change.
