Streaming/online gaming = 100mbps is actually enough. Unless you got big family la, then the extra bandwidth would be needed, or you really need that extra download speed for whatever reason. The main problem with unifi is unstable bandwidth, and bad latency.

I never hear Time customers complain about these issues.

100mbps can watch full hd 1080p with no issues. I think 4K you might need a little higher. I have 500mbps unifi, the turbo crap. Can watch 4K on netflix, but like I said it's unstable, especially during the day. I'm using nvidia shield, which honestly I think is the best android tv box around. I used to get lags with my old box.

Online gaming experience, I still get 380ms ping on ESO. Unifi sucks for online gaming.

Yeah, theoretically 30mbps is enough. But for unifi, no way. Their download speed (bytes) barely reaches 60% of the theoretical speed at times. E.g., mine is 500Mbps bandwidth, but achievable so far is 400Mbps on average. 400/8=50MB/s. Of course, I expect some loss of efficiency, but I don't expect my download speed to max out at 30MB/s. It seems like the same case with Streamyx back in the day - throttling.

Yes, latency is a big issue for unifi, as I've said.

I'm using Asus AC1200. Your pixelated problems could be device issues as well. What are you using to stream Netflix? Wifi or Lan?

Torrents hard to use as a measure because it depends on seeds/peers. I get about 30MB/s on torrents on Unifi 500Mbps (turbo), but no where close to the theoretical speeds.

Wah. My experience since 1515 can throw down the ditch already

8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, DDR3 I think. SanDisk Ultra SSD, 15m Cat6 cable from Asus 1200+ Wifi Router. I'm using Ugreen Ethernet-USB adapter (Gigabit) because my laptop's ethernet can only handle 100mbps (fast ethernet). All-in-all, I get about 400mbps on average.

Direct download... I barely download large files using direct. On Steam, I'm able to get 20-25MB/s - but it really depends on server location.

I'm using my old laptop (lenovo bought in 2013) for now, with an E-GPU connected. Wanted to upgrade to proper gaming PC, 4k+ ready (just want a 1080p60fps build), but really thinking if want or not - Sunday only got time to game. See la end of the year.

Haih... 1 word: upgrades.
