Geez, I feel like a dinosaur. Our internet runs at about 60Mbs and the wife and I have no issues. Not sure what use we would get out of 100Gps.

heh—mine’s a bit faster than 60Mbps, but I use it to work from home.

My wife and I have basic TracFone Samsungs, and I use a Chromebook. On the basic Comcast, everything works as fast as we key in the data/question/login.

Sometimes after dinner about @ 6:30 pm, streaming shows can be a little slow getting onto or into a show. By 7:30 to 8 pm, that disappears. Our grandson tells us that the other old fogies and college kids are logging on to the same internet on our culdesac. His hotshot apple phone and IPad have zero problems in our home.

So like you, we basically have zero issues.

If you stream videos, and game it takes a lot of “juice”. I am satisfied with my 400 mbps service.

I’m on DSL and get 30Mbps download and pretty close to that for upload which is fairly new. Used to get 10 Mbps download and 1Mbps upload at best. They’ve been running fiber optic in all the neighborhoods along the state hwy but are waiting on a fedgov grant to run it down the state hwy to town. 20 miles of rocky Ozarks hill country.

I get the same speed from Xfinity and it’s enough for me. The only place I stream movies from is Amazon a few times a year. If I did more streaming, I would get 100mbps.

In fact 100mbps is the same price I am paying now...but just on paper. With the 60mbps I get a $10 monthly discount for being paperless and paying automatically via my credit card. I would lose this discount if I went to 100mbps.
