I moved 6 months ago, and the internet I've had hooked up since the move has been satisfactory and especially consistent. My speeds were 40 to 45 down and a rock steady 11.5 up. Downloading things still took a while, but the consistency was a pleasant change from my old hookup. A week ago things went haywire and became very inconsistent. That issue is likely to be resolved soon, but in the meantime, I spent some time with a tech on the phone learning that my rock steady numbers were much lower than they were supposed to be. Okay. So I went through two absurdly simple troubleshooting steps, and now my speed is measured in the hundreds. It bounces around quite a bit, but it ranges from 128 to 310!  Also, my internet beat Deep Blue at chess, and won a local municipal byelection. I declare myself the champion until I am knocked off by someone with a bigger internet hose! |

8Mbps is more than fine for 1 user tbh. The only advantage for higher speed is faster downloads. When you want to download gigantic stuff. Still there is nothing that can't be downloaded in 3 days... indeed if there is enough free space on your HDD/SSd.  Two years ago I was using 256/512 Kbps and that was annoying. |

Yours is way faster than mine, and it's much faster than it was when I lived in the Bronx. Plus, my connection doesn't drop frequently anymore.
According to Google:
23.4 mbps download
11.2 mbps upload
According to Xfinity:
41.0 mbps download
10.9 mbps upload
According to Ookla:
23.98 dl
11.73 ul
Spectrum (who provides internet):
28.7 dl
11.1 ul
The Xfinity download speed is inconsistent with all the rest so I'll throw that one out. Looks like ~23 mbps download and ~11 mbps uploads.

 The last thing I downloaded was about 270GB so I kind of need the extra speed. I might upgrade to gigabit when it becomes cheaper. |

My connection is fast enough that I can download 40-80Gb every day. So I absolutely see no need to upgrade. It's even good for multiplayer games which I never play. Yousa smug people seem to be enjoying your ultra high speed internet connections. But these questions still remaining:
How many games do you need to install every month (hundreds of GBs monthly)? Why so much wasteful spending? Why such bad finance (instead of getting something more useful)? Why such rush (What's the difference between downloading a game in 1 hour instead of 12 hours)?

I get 60/20 on my up to 80/30 connection although a good chunk of that isnt useable for me due to iptv reservations but then I only pay 20 bucks a month for it, then again its an unlimited data connection (that my family typically runs to around 450GB of usage a month) the down side is you have to have a land line and that service costs another 20 bucks a month, still I think thats one of the cheaper options around and considering it doesnt cap usage probably one of the best available on the market (since most claim to be unlimited but then have max peak use limit of 100GB/mth and set peak as being 6 am to midnight)
I might like to be offered a faster speed but realistically I would prefer my adult kids left home and I had more bandwidth available ot me instead of them hoovering it up on multiple devices every day (since only doing a game download will I max out the connection with my pc)
