200Mbps is barely enough for TV streaming if you are on Comcast (Xfinity). You need 500.
I have tried 300 and had issues once in a while, 500 works fine. That is because with Comcast, you will never get 200Mbps, no matter what the plan, at least were I live.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoyou are often throttled. But you shouldn't be a a point where 200Mbps (advertised) is only giving you 100 Mbps or less in practice. You probably need to check out the devices on your network and the quality/locations of any wireless setup you have. It was part of the reason I upgraded from trying to manage with an extender that gave me maybe 80 Mbps at best in the worst points, to a mesh network that has me utilize around 170 Mbps. I use Comcast and I still have 100 criticisms about the company. But it hasn't been the worst network I've had to deal with.
- tzs 2y agoDefinitely depends on where you are. Where I live (Washington west of Seattle) Comcast has always been 10-15% above the claimed speed for me.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoI thought it was 25 for HD streaming, but Netflix they only need 5mbps! I'd still shoot for higher, but we are plenty happy with 100. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306
