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

    You mentioned 70mbps download, but what is your upload bandwidth? It’s often surprisingly terrible.

    After a month of terrible internet connectivity, I noticed issues occurring when a particular device was turned on. After investigation, I spotted the issue was being caused by Microsoft OneDrive saturating my upload bandwidth. The issue caused problems with download and upload on all devices connected to the network.

    People and ISP marketing focus on downloads but in reality it’s important to focus on upload to the same degree as download.
