Mother of all fuckers.

Optimum tech came this morning, just to tell us "Ooh, you guys should upgrade your speed."

Like, yeah, we have only 25mbps, which is unheard of in this day and age, but we've been using it for almost 5 years straight, streaming HD video and playing games online the entire time and it held up juuust fine until 2 weeks ago. Plus every streaming service I see like Netflix and Hulu states that 20 is the recommended minimum.

The hell do I do, guys? He said we should upgrade to 100mbps, but that'll jack our bill from $30 a month to like $70 a month.

Actually I'm gonna make a thread and take my case to CE.

I have Spectrum, and I'm on the 25 mbps grandfathered plan (Reddit claims I'm on the 15 mbps plan, so I don't know which one I really have). I've been happy with it for the most part, but after thinking about it, my internet does tend to slow down a lot. For an example, when there's lag when playing smash, I really have no way of knowing who the culprit is. It's usually someone else, but there have been times where it's me. Is it Nintendo online's fault, or is it my own? I thought about upgrading to 100 mbps for an extra $15 a month (bringing me up to $75 a month), but I don't know if that will actually fix the lag problem or not. It would also certainly be useful for video editing too.

Could be wrong, but seems like that technician you were dealing with just threw in his own opinion. He probably has some fast ass connection and believes that 25 mbps is super slow, even though he may not really be super educated on it.
