I have a 75Mbps service with 27 active devices (firesticks, iphones, tablets, laptop, camera, smart devices). I feel 25Mbps would be sufficient but I don't know if that is even offered anymore.

Totally agree. We did the same. We also have ROKU.

Agree with you on Roku. I tried one firestick, and still use it, but all my other T.V.'s, including the Smart T.V.'s, have a Roku on them. Interface is seamless and very responsive.

I too, after 18 years decided to cut the cord with Xfinity Cable/Telephone. I no longer need the land line for sure, and after experimenting with a fire stick, I am pretty sure I can survive without it.. I called yesterday to disconnect effective tomorrow. I will be returning all the equipment and maintaining only the wifi with tax $107 in stead of 260 per month. They offered to reduce my bill by 11 dollars if I stayed, I guess that was their “save” tactic but it wasnt enough for me. I may end up with U-tube TV and my fire stick, but it will annually save me at least a thousand dollars…. It took courage as I like to record my shows, and on U tube TV its unlimited recording….but I will start with just my fire stick and see how it goes. I can always add utube later. Anyway… be brave, cut the cord and figure it out. The cable company has no compassion for the customer in my opinion. They havent tried to come out with offers to keep their customer base so candidly I dont think they care either. Good luck to you all…

13 plus devices on wi fi not running at the same time…. What up load and download speed would suffice for xfinity….
Thank you |

You haven't provided much information about what you are doing but a few typical numbers may help you. Probably, your largest user of download bandwidth will be video streaming. Typically, 1080p Hi-Def will consume about 5 megabits per second of download bandwidth, per active stream. 2160p (aka 4K) will consume about 20 megabits per second of download bandwidth, per stream. Unless you are typically moving around large files (for example, 50 gigabytes), the amount of bandwidth you require is probably a lot less than you think.
There will be a "sweet spot" in the pricing that may very well provide much more bandwidth than you need. For example, I have 200 megabits per second upload and download with Quantum Fiber for $30 per month. This is their lowest cost offering and represents about 10 times more bandwidth than I can utilize. Last edited by tuccillo; 05-04-2023 at 08:36 AM. |
