I currently have 300mb fiber and was wondering if 1gig would be worth it. We have 4 PC/laptops, 1 tablet, 4 phones, and about 10 other Internet connected devices. Most devices are on WiFi and seem to get about 50mb to 100mb speed. Would gig Internet really help that out?
Probably not unless you all regularly stream several as in more than one for each of you, 4K videos at once.
Other than that it’s mostly whether or not you want to download things faster. Most servers won’t even give you a full gigabit down. Steam does. So if you regularly install large AAA PC games maybe it is worth it.
If you do a lot of piracy you can sometimes a saturate a gigabit connection with a well seeded torrent.
I can usually download games and updates on steam with about 800 mbit though so I guess for those uses it comes in really handy.
Edit: using my 1gbit connection wired that is.
Yeah buit from the sounds of it “Most devices are on WiFi and seem to get about 50mb to 100mb speed.” It’s not going to help. Unless OP of course left out the decent devices.
I would expect they are all old if thats the speed they are getting. I am on 500 and get 520 if I can be bothered to run wired. (it’s a 15M cable so not unless I know I need it).
