As the title states.

Both myself and my parter are avid gamers.

All 4 kids are also gamers, but watch Netflix etc. too and with our current connection, all is fine.

Our main concern is that we both are remote workers and work from home, anything that throttled our internet connection would become unsustainable to us.

Some sites say that 70mbps is pushing it, but should be okay, others say it’s completely untangible

Any advice is greatly appreciated

    Upload speeds are a very relevant part of this. My connection is 150mbps down but only 20 up and it’s great for downloading but I can barely manage a single 1080p/60 stream for remote access/gaming when I’m away from home.

    Given you’re dependent on internet access for remote work, I’d be investigating higher bandwidth options because it sounds like a recipe for frustration. Imagine having a child home sick and having to negotiate their Netflix time because it’s causing issues with important virtual meetings… it might be fine, but do you really want to find out at the most inconvenient time?
