100/20 is definitely an improvement, and is probably a reasonable minimum bar to set. I'm sure most of us have much higher speed connections, but I know I rarely take my 1Gb pipe over 10% of that... Heck, 2 TVs streaming 4k during a zoom call would be fine on 100Mb...
> We're on 400Mbps, and even then I manage to block internet for others when I download a large file at full speed.
That's more of a router/QoS issue. A large download shouldn't negatively affect quality for other uses, especially VoIP. If the place you're downloading from has a pipe bigger than yours and can saturate your bandwidth you're going to need to implement some kind of rate-limiting/queue management.
I've seen a lot of people complaining that their 100M+ connections are "slow" for that reason, and they upgrade to 1G and they complain again. It's not like they're doing much on that 1G line either, just say a Steam game download at full speed followed with a stuttering Zoom call. You'll be surprised how far you can push a 10M DSL connection with good QOS (assuming you don't have multiple users streaming video and such).
I don't think I've ever seen a 4K YouTube stream over 15 Mbit, where do you find a 70 Mbit stream? Even the king of streaming bitrate, Apple TV, is said to peak at 30 Mbps
I'm not sure this is accurate, maybe a sufficiently cherry-picked small # of frames in a VBR recording?
It, at the very least, hides more than it illuminates in that 68Mbps is an order of magnitude higher than an average 4K video's bitrate over it's duration
I don't think it's reasonable if it means my provider's offering start at 100 Mbps vs my current 25 Mbps, at what I'm sure will be at least double the cost to me.
