Which internet connection do I need?

[Hip]

Hey guys,

 

I'd like to know if a 16mb/s internet connection is enough to watch movies on streaming or is a 50mb/s connection necessary?

Thanks in advance.

It depends on how many people will be using the internet with you and the resolution you'll be watching at. Sure 16mb/s is enough however you will have buffering when the will be multiple people or devices are connected to the internet.

Just 1 person. No additional usage of the internet. Full HD TV.

a client i deal with has almost 200 employees in an office building with a 40Mbps "guest" connection, and everyone and their dog is streaming spotify there

 

as long as you dont mind big things taking a while to download, you dont need nearly as much as ISPs would like you to believe.

Had a client think that upgrading modems or routers would make the connection speed even better..
