I currently have 300mb fiber and was wondering if 1gig would be worth it. We have 4 PC/laptops, 1 tablet, 4 phones, and about 10 other Internet connected devices. Most devices are on WiFi and seem to get about 50mb to 100mb speed. Would gig Internet really help that out?

    If you play call of duty, or any online game, yeah, since these freaking games are going for for like 200 gb’s or more in size nowadays

      It doesn’t even matter. I have 400 Mbps and a 10 GB download can take over an hour. Having 1 gig won’t change that. In theory that download should take 25 seconds lol.

        That’s crazy talk, I have 65Mb and 10GB data takes 30 mins to download. With your 400Mb 10GB data would take a handful of minutes at most.

        It does if you’re computer and the server can keep up. Which is generally not going to be the case. I mostly only download games from Steam, but when I use other PC services they don’t saturate it and Playstation network on the ps4 at least several years ago didn’t even come close.

        So ya it mostly doesn’t matter.
