What Internet Speed Do I Actually Need?

It’s easy to assume that faster internet is always better.

But the right internet plan depends on how your household actually uses the internet.

Light internet use

If you’re mainly browsing the web, checking emails and using social media, you may not need an ultra-fast connection.

Streaming

If your household regularly streams Netflix, YouTube or other services on multiple devices, a faster connection becomes more useful.

Working from home

Video meetings, cloud applications and large file transfers can place additional demands on your connection.

Gaming

Gamers need more than just download speed.

A stable connection with low latency can be just as important.

Large households

If several people are simultaneously streaming, gaming, working and using smart devices, a higher-speed connection can make sense.

But here’s the catch…

Your internet speed and your WiFi performance aren’t the same thing.

You can have a very fast fibre connection coming into your house but still have terrible WiFi in the bedroom.

That’s why upgrading your internet plan doesn’t always solve a WiFi problem.
