Moving into an apartment and debating 1G internet speeds - is it worth it? - eviltoast

Was wondering just how worth it for my apartment it would be. I’m a nurse so will have 4 days off a week I like to stay busy but also like to play video games like ff14. Other than that i just stream Netflix, Hulu, max, and other videos. I don’t game competitively.

It’s $50 a month so nothing crazy, but still if it’s overkill and I can save some money then why not.

Also, I’m not sure what router I’d need to handle the speeds. If that’s gonna be pretty expensive then I’d rather stay around 500mbps even though the downloads would be rough

    Depends on the upload speed. If it’s symmetrical it’s totally worth it. If not, 500 down is more than enough. I’ve got a 30/1000 connection from Comcast and it’s infuriating. It was on sale because “Gig speeds are here!” but it’s a joke. I’d take a symmetrical 250Mbps connection over my 30/1000 every day of the week.
