    I'm in a rural area, the ONLY options are either point to point wireless or some 5G service from a cell provider. Obviously I went with the point to point wireless option, where I'm lucky to get 75 Mb/s downloads and 20 Mb/s upload speeds. When I lived in town we did have fiber service with 300 Mb/s which I sorely miss.

    The current service "suffices." We're able to stream to 4 TVs in HD including one that's 4K. Gaming is usually good. I work from home, but

    I'm using 5g internet straighttalk aka verizon.
    i pay 35/month and get good speeds. it fluctuates, but it never goes
    down low.

    I am getting better speeds than when i was on spectrum/charter in a
    large city. i was paying 90 bucks for just internet and it was always raising. ---

    I imagine that would be good if I had a decent cell signal here. As it is I can only make a cell call if I'm in certain areas of the house. Forget about any 5G connection...

    It's not just about your internet speed - If you copy files or other
    data between computers in your home network, it can be good to have the highest speed possible. But if your computers aren't capable, then I suppose it doesn't make much difference.

    What I've got works well enough. Don't move many files from computer to computer and when I do they're usually fairly small. Stream from a UMS instance, plenty of bandwidth for that. I'm able to do everything I need and want to do with 100 Mb/s.
