Finding the Right Internet Plan

What Plan Do You Need?

We can help you choose the perfect plan based on how you use the internet.

As you look at different internet service plans, you may be wondering: How much internet speed do I need in order to work from home or to stream Netflix?

When you are picking a plan, you need to consider how many users will be using your internet at one time in addition to the activities you’ll be using the internet for. Just because you get enough speed to stream on one device doesn’t mean you’ll be able to stream on multiple devices. Here are our suggestions for the best speeds for online gaming, streaming, multiple-device use, and other common activities.

How Do You Use the Internet?

These helpful examples give you an estimated look at how many Mbps a particular service or activity uses and can better predict what internet plan will work best for you.

Streaming Services
The minimum internet speed recommended for streaming Netflix on one device is 3 Mbps, but, if you want a higher-quality streaming service, then you’ll need more speed. To stream Netflix in HD on three TVs at the same time, at least 15 Mbps is recommended. If you’re looking to stream something like YouTube TV, the minimum internet speed is 3 Mbps.
