Yes, that should be sufficient if you consistently get the advertised rates. Comcast (and all coaxial cable spectrum/cox/...) infrastructure, from what I understand is in a very poor condition due to neglect and even their "gigabit" is actually gigabit down / 30mbps up at best. and then there's over subscription. Try having everyone in your household on different video conference call.
My understanding is once you get fiber installed to the home, the difference in ongoing expense of 150Mbps vs gigabit is not that much. So might as well?
- OJFord 6y agoI get consistently a bit more than that, about 165/160Mbps (as measured by fast.com). That's fair - it's just me - I just read it as work needing a gigabit, not the Netflix/games/whatever use of the family hogging it. I'm not in the USA, so 'YMMV', but the home came with fibre, and the ongoing cost is £35 vs. £60 (the 30/1 plan was £22, and - as I check these prices - is now 50/5).
