If you’re streaming telly then yes.
Anything over 20 meg is required I’d say for streaming
If you're into gaming or have a young un in the house (like me who has a teenager permanently glued to online xbox) I'd say you will. If you (ahem) download films etc whilst others are online Id say yes. If you have a couple of family members all online the same time all streaming from iplayer etc Id say yes. The smart Tv works seamlessy on it too.
As for speed, Im not teccy enough to know the minimum requirements but I get wifi access upstairs through thick old walls at 25mbs and wired access at 75mbs and its perfect for our family needs. Whether thats overkill I dont know but its what i get on BT infinity and their new hub is brilliant for coverage all through the house. I would change it and downgrade.
30mb+ is essential if you download and upload large files, are gaming, constantly streaming etc.
I didnt. Only go it as they threw it in on my last deal.
My EE is giving a speed of 18 download according to a line test thing my wife did just now. I am not in the know tech wise but I am a good complainer on the phone. Should I get on to them can they do anything about this. I stream,, browse my wife streams, browses but my son us on his pc, X box every spare minute on COD, FIFA etc. He says speed is shit really with occasional lag but being a teenager has got no solutions, suggestions for me. Any ideas please.Thanks.
Yes, you should
I used to get 1.3 meg upgraded and now get 36 - 38 meg
Now we couldnt stream anything with 1.3, it would buffer like hell ( even at 720 ) now imagine the 2 children watching Youtube or the youngest doing coding on her Chromebook, i would often find normal surfing hard work
now its flying, 2 lots of NowTV streaming, 1 on youtube and it still flys
I'm currently getting 8.2 meg per second, so bound to see an improvement.
means you can download shitloads of stuff very quickly.
if you want to watch a HD programme on catch up on Sky it's ready to watch in a few seconds
My BT gets maybe 60mb downloads. We can download catch up on SkyQ, watch live streaming football on the PC and have four laptops running with no delay at the same time.
If the poster phones up and complains that his speed is low, he will be asked to try it again with no other activity taking place. My speed sits at 60 mb/s when the house is empty, but plunges to about 28 mb/s when everyone is home and using it. I'd look a right wally if I phoned up to complain at the time that PS4, streaming, and all other stuff is taking place.
indeed
mine was sold as upto 52 meg, i get 36 - 38 meg, which is a fair % drop below the max, but I am happy with the speed, its a hell of alot better than 1.3 meg My mrs said we should contact them and see what they can do, i still havent got around to it, i might never get around to it
Get him one of these
