What is a good speed on broadband?
What is a good speed on broadband?
If you are living alone, or are the only broadband user in your home, you can get away with a download speed of 25Mbps. However, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to use HD streaming or maintain a reliable online gaming connection. 50Mbps is the minimum we recommend if you have multiple users in your house. When it comes to HD streaming, the higher the download speed, the better.
