It’s important that you are connected to the right internet speed and plan for your streaming needs. Each household will have different online needs and preferences. If you are a two-person household, who only use the internet for web browsing, emailing, and basic streaming, you may only need a speed of 50/100 Mbps. However, if you have a larger household, with lots of people connected at the same time, you may want to consider getting fibre 300 or even fibre 900.
