Do we actually need beyond 1Gbps?

[radioshack]

I think all ISP offer min 3Gbps now

 

[elmohootbigbird]

we need the lower cost. i stopped caring how many zillions of gbps liao

 

[pencil-leads]

i want to watch my documentaries without lag

 

[rachoon]

it's their new infra you wan to use

yes..I agree.. I dun mind 1Gbps at $20

 

[elmohootbigbird]

i am on 10gbps now bcos its the same cost but they offered me a free wifi7 router which i sold for $200. that significantly reduced cost.

Wah, nowadays all the telcos pushing 3Gbps and above like it's standard sia. But honestly… who actually needs that kind of speed? 1Gbps already damn fast liao leh. I can stream Netflix 4K, game online, Zoom all day — no lag, no buffering. Unless your house got like 10 people all downloading and streaming at the same time, 3Gbps really a bit overkill lor. Feels like marketing tactic more than anything. Make people think more = better. But truth is, most of the time your Wi-Fi router or the websites you visit also cannot fully utilise 3Gbps.
So unless you’re doing heavy stuff like video editing, running a server, or just want to flex… 1Gbps more than enough la.

Actually, just 500Mbps is enough

The key is the international Internet gateway

If give you 3Gbps local network speed, but when you browsing USA websites only max 10Mbps, you will also feel that your connection is slow

But a 500Mbps local network with 450Mbps international gateway traffic, you feel it is very fast

Then there is also the ping (lag), high bandwidth with bad pings will feel slow too

still using 500Mbps with multiple simultaneous downloads.
No issue at all.

let me give chiu a scenario.

chiu ish now queuing at MY custom, there are twenty lanes with people queuing but only 1 counter open.

 

[Goodshot]

M1 1gbp is $36 , they let me upgrade 2.5gbp for $31. Of coz take 2.5 la

we dun need leh ... tried to get my shy female neighbour to share broadband but she refused outright, idk why ... not talking to her anymore

there's a difference between having and not having fibre access ...

not much difference between 500mbps and whatever Gbps u have

 

[bakasora]

No need, but it's good that technology improves.

 

[charliebrown]

if u got $ no where to spend go ahead.

 

[helloicanseeu]

No need, but it's good that technology improves.

improves and more importantly becomes widely available and affordable

 

[Shion]

no, coz my networking devices unable to support such speeds

 

[The_Davis]

I’m on 10mbps now

 

[vangug]

if you're not on wifi6 and above... then you don't need anything more than 1gbps... wifi6 can reach 9.6gbps maximum speed... wifi7 even more ridiculous... but if you're not on those technology levels... then no... your limit is 1gbps....

 

[zi]

3gbps is the speed to your neighbor next door or the speed to netflix ?

TS is not a documentarist , so never need to review many educational documentary.

1gb or 3gb , the router also need to be able to handle la, the free one sometimes quite cui...so u cannot see the diff with or without LOAD
