You can't just say "which internet is better".

Simply put, Internet is different in each area and state.

For example: A friend of mine has the same internet provider and lives only a few blocks from me, we carry the same plan. BUT he has a much more smooth/faster connection.

It can change depending on what type of home you live in (house,apt etc.)

I recommend you try websites like xfinity and at&t and test if they cover a certain type of internet in your area.

goodluck

Depending on your specific location you pick what is "best" for you in your budget. It can range from very basic connections, to more than anyone would need.
For example, I am using the best plan available to me with an astounding peak download of 600KBps.

I have only a 2Mb line here so I get download speeds of around 200Kb/s and an upload of around 20Kb/s. Now that may be considered extremely slow in some cases but I can play local servers online with around 40-70 ping and I can stream 720p youtube videos without waiting. So in my opinion, the 'right' internet would be around a 5Mb-8Mb line.

If you don't want slowdowns then 50 Mbps would be best.

If you don't want slowdowns then 50 Mbps would be best.

And how did you arrive at that number?

 

[Gam3r01]

I never lag out of games or have latency issues. I would be satisfied with 2MBps so I could stream 1080p while someone else is too.
50 would be a miracle for me, that is in more than excess to "avoid slowdowns"

It's what I'm using right now. 2 gamers and a youtuber and downloading some files at 2-3MB ps is letting the gamers play, but occasionally lagging the gamers. If you cut out the downloading and add another youtuber, this would allow the gamers a smooth experience with maybe 1-2MBps headroom to avoid lagging and ping problemse. I'm being generous with the numbers, all I know is we have 50mbps and it gets slow sometimes if everyone is using the internet at the same time.

ideally you would want 5MBs of Upload speed so you can have a high quality smooth stream.

Ideal, and living the the mountains dont really go together haha

50mbps is not the same as 50MBps if I was not clear enough.

And as we still have no idea of what the OP actually has available at their residence....tossing out random numbers is useless.

Consider the MAX PLUS. But also, look at what price you will be paying after that 1 year discount.
