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

    Don’t forget if work has a VPN the speeds will be slowed even further! My wife and I both have VPN for WFH… we have Xfinity 1200D/40U and she is constantly complaining her video calls are dropping. We test speeds when she is not on VPN and (wirelessly) she gets around 300D/20U but then we connect to her works VPN and it suddenly goes to about 80D/7U. When I wirelessly am on VPN I get 130D/20U.
