Yes ok 300mbps is enough.
Can I ask then why do people want 1 GBps if not a gamer for residential home?
Just wondering , since hd streaming is second to gaming in intensity ..and for residential use normally 2-5 people
Am I right to say that, it's generally upselling something which is actually no needed?( Not talking about gamers)
Each has its own choice on selection and usage.
What is 1 GBps or 500 or 300 Mbps, will depend on the end-user requirement and the way the user use it for.
The plan is based on shared within from the ONT.
This depend on number users or open too many tabs or downloading too many huge files especially movies in GB size.
The router will do the work to prioritize how much bandwidth each connection required.
For example streaming required less, reading here required less, but downloading 3 GB of movie then require more bandwidth.
Then there are users who do not mind to pay a bit more for more bandwidth in case of needs when arise.
As most 1Gbps plan do come with free router which can easily cost $200+ and thus saving in the long term.
For me i am on 1Gbps but it include free IPTV subscription with saving of $33 per months.
If not for the free IPTV subscription, i would had opt for 500 Mbps which was my previous plan subscription.
So it is up to the user to decide which is the best match.
If one do not need to have the needs to downloading huge files then there is no need to go to that high speed plan.
As wireless do have limit at most is 500 Mbps connection for most wireless clients in the current market.
Gamer plan is due to constant and no lagging or sudden break.
Gamer plan do have certain zone as this depend on the games they played.
As most servers are located overseas in several regions, it is very important that they are provided connection without any lagged or drop.
Once the connection drop is Game Over for the gamer in concern.
So when you are planning to go for whichever broadband plans, do consider what is your usage and needs.
Hence whenever someone want to have advice from here, it is important that we do provide proper and accurate info based on the individual needs.
That is why we do required the person to state the needs & budget in order to give choices suitable to that requester.
