100Mbps is good enough for me. Other speeds like 300Mbps or 800Mbps feels like overkill for me.

A 100 Mbps connection can provide enough bandwidth for one family of 4 average users.

For 1 - 2 people it's overkill. Heck even 30 Mbps is enough for such a scenario unless you're a 24/7 Streamer/Torrenting freak/Steam games downloader.

Depends on your usage, if heavy video loader \ heavy download like P2P then maybe 3-4 users will utilize the bandwidth, but if only internet surfing, social media apps with light video loading, then it can go up to 6 to 8 users

This enough that sufficient usually comes from ppl who have no access to higher speed. So what you’re telling us? That certain mbps is already threshold? Then why do we need to develop further for higher speed?

Now it’s not a question of speed anymore but coverage. I got 500Mbps but doesn’t mean I can get 500Mbps all over my apartment over WiFi

Overkill for me. I rather they reduce the monthly subscription fees by lowering the speed like my my home unifi.

Thats not quite right... 64 GB should take only ~1.5 hours on a 100 M connection if fully utilized.

Unless u want to constantly download multipls gigantic files (50GB and above) everyday in a short amount of time... 100Mbps package is more than enough for around 4 people (with 1 heavy-user).

Streaming 4K should be ok as well, mayb 2 users max?

Online gaming of course 100Mbps is more than sufficient (ping and packet loss is more important here) - Dota on 4Mbps was possible some years ago (although once in awhile connection would timeout huhu)

Anyways, it's human nature to always ask for more... last time when Time Fibre offer 100Mbps all of our jaws dropped lol

Ayam play MH:W, several gaming rigs at home (3 or more concurrent users playing same game), 100 is bare minimum. especially when 1 of the users decide multitasking and watch p0rn on steam overlay.

EDIT: Then again, MH:W netcode is bad, so scratch my opinion.

30mbps = 3mb download speed
100mbps = 10mb download speed

depends on you enough or not... some people said not enough some people said want more want faster (download torrent/ games etc)

100 upgraded to 500, only 2 ppl in the house... After 2 months, I feel 500 is kinda overkill but quite useful once in awhile, torrenting is so breeze 👍

i was once 30mbps initially thought this is enough for me and my family d, after free upgrade to 100, never look back to 30mbps.

because when i click a movie to download, 1-3 mins later can watch already.

off topic:
i thought now 100mbps is only for 129? why u still use 30mbps? how much it is now?
