Just for me. I don't really play online games much anymore. From what I'm thinking my biggest use would probably be downloading games that I play single player from Steam.

I have only 30 Mbps and it's fine and super fast for anything I need. Which is the occasional software download, Netflix, and some online gaming. Faster would be nice but I wouldn't really get any benefit from it outside of downloading somewhat faster: on a conventional hard drive the drive is a bottleneck before that kind of speed is. --- Never write off the Doctor! <cite>Doctor Foxx posted [p:892355490] in How fast o...

FaithIsIgnorant 12/17/17 1:16:56 AM #14:	SkynyrdRocker posted... How good is "Up to 75 Mbps?" It doesn't look like I can go faster without ditching TV or adding a landline. Just divide X Mbps by 10 and you'll get the approximate real download speed. e.g. 10 Mbps (megaBITS) is 1mb (megaBYTE) per seconds download speed/bandwidth. So, 75 Mbps is roughly 7.5 MB per second. Edit:- If you use it for mainly downloads, you will want your Mbps to be as high as possible. If you use it for gaming, you will want a connection with the lowest ping. These two stats can sometimes be mutually exclusive, i.e having a high Mbps does NOT always mean you'll have a low ping. I had a 100m connection that give me 700ms ping playing overwatch while my new 20m connection give me a super smooth 30ms ping. One company could be infringing on net neutrality laws while the other doesn't, shameless plug: fight for net neutrality. <cite>FaithIsIgnorant posted [p:892361732] in How fast o...
