60 MB Broadband (cable) Internet...do we really need it that fast?

945 kbp/s upload
Seems fast enough for me for what I use it for. I guess if I downloaded more music or watched videos longer than YouTube then I would want something more.

No, we don't...in much the same way nobody will ever need more than 512kb of RAM.

Oh my....how times have changed. I resurrected this old thread, found it looking for something else. I now have 60 mg, wish I had more. I am jealous of those who have gigabit fiber service.

We just got fibre-optic connected (as in they laid the cables) not signed-up to it yet but probably will because 150Mbps just doesn't cut-it ...

YYes if your kids are gamers.
Oh boy I had to change yesterday since my kids were complaining about slow speeds ( bandwidth) interfering with fortnite 😩😩
Edit Yes fibre optic
