8Mbps is more than enough for a few dozen people to play any modern game on the same connection.
- jvanderbot 4y agoIn my experience, a big problem is upload, which is sometimes as low as a tenth or hundredth the download. That really hurts remote work. Another factor is that high speed internet tends to have lower latency, because I guess you just have to build our more infra. That helps remote work and gaming.
