I have a home that streams, no cable at all. I Have 3 TVs on Firesticks maybe 2 are used at a time, I have a smart home with cameras, lights, and a doorbell on the network. There is no gaming or downloading or big files, but I use 4K Streaming. Can I get away with 75mbs or do I need something more like 200mbs? I currently have had upwards of 800mbs because of a real with Xfinity. That deal is over and I feel like I am getting fleeced on internet speed vs usage.

    It should be fine if you have the “it’s good enough” mindset and don’t mind things occasionally taking a bit longer to load while there are people streaming 4K content.

    I think you can “get away” with 75Mbps. Try to avoid streaming over wifi if possible and use a wired connection. I just checked out the deals in my area and the 400Mbps plan was $10 cheaper than the 200 plan - so see what your other options are and if it would make more sense for you.
