Is 100 Mbps Fast Enough for Modern Streaming?

- 100 megabits per second. Yes. It’s fast. But is it fast enough? Modern modems are capable of handling speeds of several gigabits per second, and many of our connections are going up to and even beyond a gigabit per second. So does a hundred megabits cut it anymore? We’re digging into the world of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) starting with the basics of internet speed.

I've been living of 20mbps for 5 years and hearing people complain about 100mbps just blows my mind.
try 1.5 mpbs
Jann Abrenica I just got fiber installed today. It’s amazing 😂
@Jann Abrenica I got the 500mbps package. So I’ve got around 480 download and 200 upload. It’s amazing.
Blake Tech I was there
same but 40
I had 25 mbps for years. Finally switched to 150. It's a God send. Perfect for 4k streaming.
Bruh same my internet before was 72 mbps now its 150 mbps
Me was 28 Mbps and my new router arrived and stuff I need is coming in 2 or 3
25 mbps is enough for 4k
@@bigrunts9768 it is but its a laggy
@@KickoffXpert Well not for me
100 MBPS is good enough for 10 people to stream at 1080P 60FPS
If I collect the internet speed for all my friends and my family, it is likely that it will be 90 mbps or mutch less
It's 100mbps not 100MBps
Jesus having low internet speeds really highlights first world problems when people complain about 100 mbps lmao like what the fuck. They must have a poor setup or poor isp for that to complaint worthy.
40 mbps is sufficient for that

i came to this vid to dislike for the cringe thumbnail, but at that point I hit like instaed

100 mbps is slow. U spend more time downloading games then u actually play the game
100Mbps is all "most" homes need. When you get to the point when you need more, you'll know it. Also, make sure you're REALLY getting 100Mbps. Many get 100Mbps at their basement's modem/router, only to get a fraction of that at their actual device. Before complaining, "100Mbps is not enough." Optimize/fix your home network first...
mboiko lol I’m out here with 0.4 mbps
Just upgraded today from 4 megs to 100 feels good
And that’s residential internet.....I have business at 80mbs and I’m good....
Just upgraded from 6 Mbps to 200 Mbps.
100mbps is only 12.5MBps down if your lucky to get that consitistly which is not very fast. You figure most people today are gaming, streaming and have smart devices. Gone are the days when a update was like 200MB. Just today I had a 30Gb update for one game.
Sure you can get by with 100mb but I think the bar has been set pretty low and that the majority of people will absolutely be able to notice the difference if they get a faster speed. Depending on use case of course
One big point to notice here is the equipment. If you have one single device between the link with an interface of 10/100 mbps then your connection speed would be capped at 100mbps. So if you want to get higher speed rates, it is a good call to check your equip first! 🙂️
100 Mbps feels very low these days, .300 would be better i guess?
When I was a kid at home we had a dedicated fiber line installed into our home, back in the early 2000’s.. we had internet faster than my school did, faster than most smaller businesses at the time. I think via cat5 we were up to 1gig in 2005 and I was blown away at the speed of torrent downloads (during the time of mass downloading and very little isp monitoring). My parents later switched back to Comcast/xfinity, due to the local tv/isp not having the desired tv channels.(specifically the pac12 network and sporting channels). Amazing how expensive Comcast is to this day, and sad to say, the previous isp/tv folded years later. I’d be curious to know what a dedicated fiber line gets bandwidth wise.
Typically a dedicated fiber line gets you upwards of 1gbit, 10gbit is manageable by most ISPs. Anything higher requires some phone calls and a good equipped bank account.
internet provider: 400mbps plan
reality: 20mbps

I have 50mbps and since I alone is connected to that network I have no issues with streaming 4K shows and most importantly no lag while playing games
Have u tried streaming for long with high quality?
COLD DAWG my upload is 30 mbps. The only streaming i do is share play while on the ps4 where my friends can see my screen real time while I play games
It all depends on the WiFi router you choose to use. If you use the standard WiFi router most ISPs supply, you’re going to receive “standard” service. Most “standard” WiFi routers only can handle maybe 2-3 simultaneous devices/streams at a time. Also, devices in your home just get what the WiFi router throws out. If you purchase a smart/mesh Wifi router system, you’ll most likely receive better service. Smart WiFi routers can intelligently look in your network at what devices need at any given time. I install cable internet and the ISP I work for offers “up to” 1gbps speeds. Is it necessary? Absolutely not! Why pay for speeds you’ll never receive only on a wired connection? Most folks are all about saving money on their utility bill. Why not save on your internet bill, too?
We currently have 1gb fiber wifi .. for my gamer son, & 2 streaming tvs. My son moved out & I'm looking at downgrading service just to stream on the 2 tvs .. iyo would 100mb be sufficient? Guy @ Bestbuy sold me on purchasing a Linksys home mesh system that we aren't even using 🤦♀️
Thanks for above info. Really helps when considering ISP, what router you might be getting.
100 mbps is a dream for me, 5 mbps is so trash I can’t do anything

I have 100 mgbps. never problem, i am very happy
I had 5-8 mbps for years. Finally switched to 900 mbps. It's miraculous, the difference is very huge and the internet is extremely fast and strong and it's perfect for gaming, streaming and downloading large files in minutes.
same cuzzzz i had 10 mbps for 3 years and now i got 1gbps
That’s crazy
I’m getting 500 will this be enough for a family of 5 that demolish WiFi for fun ?
I just just change the plan to 1000 Mega Bits persecond to 100 Mb 96$ every month is wild xfinity is crazy 😭
if you download big files like pictures and games, theres a big differnce., took awhile for 100 to download a big game and just mins with 500.
When I have gigabit internet for no reason
Same I have 1gb internet its overpowered
@Mr Sunday7 reset you router and wait 5 minutes then Turn it back on and see if it works
I also have 600mbps which is way more than I need 🤣 I need bragging rights tho 😂
It's fine if you ain't paying to much extra...
I telework two days a weeks plus I stream all of my TV along with having several smart home devices. Also, the TV that I stream is roughly 50 -60% sports so yes I need 100 down. Years ago I had a cheaper 50 down plan but I was having to many buffering issues when I worked from home.
Lastly, listening to that AOL connection gave me flashbacks to college. I was in undergrad in the 90’s and when registering for classes we had to do it online and you would first pray you could get connected in time to get the professor you wanted then you would pray you wouldn’t get kicked off before you finished registering. 😂😂😂
Gotta tell you, bud: Even today nothing has changed. You gotta register yourself, chose your course and pray, that the servers do not collaps… xDDD
Greetings from Germany :D
I'm using 200 Mbps plan with 1.5 TB data which costs me around 950 rupees ($13) and it was a overkill for my usage.
@Levz because their quality is not good ping spikes etc however in india fiber optics cheap
Replace your 500Mbps with 50Mbps I bet you will see NO difference. 95% of American homes will function just fine. These devices smart doorbells, thermostats etc use Kbps NOT Mbps.
I'm dropping my cable TV and going with 💯 percent online streaming.
Check out iptvhut for cheap good tv. Best place for the Kno how
Shit dude, I stream with a hotspot running off an AT&T cellphone which gets anywhere from 5-10 mbps upload speed and my streams look clearer than some people's with 5 times that speed. I usually set my bitrate anywhere from 2400 to 3400 depending on what I'm trying to stream and the streams look and sound just fine. You don't need a million mbps upload speed to have a decent stream. 4k is for snobs. 1080p or even 720p is absolutely fine and looks great. Most people's phones and televisions can't even display 4k. I don't even get the need for 4k. I still play PS1 and PS2 on a CRT with S-video and it looks great to me. If I want super clear display, I just switch to emulation and upscale. High speed internet isn't even offered where I live. We have DSL internet for the house and it's slow as hell and not viable for streaming literally anything. Can't be done. The DSL upload speed is right at 0.5 mbps. 😂

I've only got 50 mbps. could I fully optimize by getting a better modem. I have trouble streaming while my mom is on her internet tv.
This seems outdated to me... This past week I went from 100mbps to 200 to 400 and I can tell you 100 is not enough... Even watching this vid in 4k it will lag and buffer at that speed watchable sure but not smooth and might get bumped to lower res...
200mbps is the sweet spot these days you can play 4k vids smooth without buffer/lag and still have enough bandwidth left over for yourself or a few other people on your network to browse the web ...
I had a 175 Mbps package with Comcast and was able to stream TH-cam 4k without any problems both over wifi and ethernet.
yeah 175 is close to the 200 sweet spot I mentioned so I imagine that would also work fine...
When the AOL dialup section came up, my 6 yo son seemed confused and asked me what that was :)
Did I hear correctly or did he say you run a higher risk of seeing a low res pic or a buffer wheel
Has he visited Australia yet that's literally the everyday norm
God forbid he ever has to set his beautiful high res eyes on a low res pic or ever see that torturous buffer wheel that plays for even a fraction of a second

@@carmell17X bruh I had 1 Mbps at start 😂 , then upgraded to 30 and then 50 and then 75 and now it's 100 but when I increased from 1-50 my router didn't support that speed so we had to simply buy the new modem router and it supports 1gb/sec so yea now it supports 100mb/sec now I am grateful , everyone at my home uses soo much internet.
Worst internet I have ever seen is my grandmas at 15mbps I could barely play games etc. My house has half gig 500mbps I guess i have just taken it for granted I knew my wifi was good but I didn’t know how common it was for people to still have sub 50mbps

Similar story to me... changes ISP went from 65mbps (100mbps Contract) to Gigabit and I'm never going to accept anything less than that.
Done 2 years gaming online in the outback. 5mbps -15mbps was the average. I still think it fast, but I grew up downloading off limewire waiting 2-4 days for an album and 30 minutes wait for 1 song on TH-cam. Getting full 4G phone service is god mode for me. 100mbps is FAST!
You said a mouthful, my friend. A lot of people think 100mbps is slow, however, it isn't.
I was wondering if 9mbps upload and 1mbps download speed was bad, and we’re paying $250 per month for basic cable+internet. No wonder movies are all pixelated.
That's pretty much a scam at that price point.
For 2 years i have fiber i get 30 mbps and ppl be complaining about 100mbps?

@@EyesofHorus7 150 is 2x the 75.
And am complaining i got only 250Mbps lol
Yes it is fast enough. I have a 100 Mbps fiber connection (up & down) and we stream everything with zero issues (4 TV’s, with at least two live TV streams going, Netflix, PS4, phones, tablets, laptops, plus a VPN connection here and there for work). Never once had a slowness issue at all, so yes 100 Mbps is plenty.
Who do u have for internet?
Beth Ann Simmons a local internet provider in my area. They provide fiber and cost about $12 more than AT&T and around the same for Comcast’s basic service in this area.

About streaming, It's enough for most people who just stream HD or even 4k on Prime or Netflix, it seldom exceeded 20-30mbps in our tests. But for high bitrate 4k with HDR, Dolby Vision, which can easily reach 60-100mbps it may be difficult to smoothly play 2 streams simultaneously. For 8k high bitrate streams it wouldn't be enough, since it will easily reach 300mbps and more.

I’m moving into a new apartment and my options are spectrum or frontier and I’m leaning toward spectrum. I just got a 4K tv and plan on streaming with it to its full potential. It’s just myself and one other person, with the occasional guests. There’s phones, iPads, laptops, game consoles, the usual. What would be recommended as far as speed goes so the connection doesn’t get bogged down?
A 4K stream requires a consistent 25 Mbps all on its own. So if you have another person in the home with all those other devices, you'll need a minimum of 50 Mbps, but I'd look for a 100 Mbps if you can afford it and it's available.

I've found that laptops and smaller devices generally have smaller speeds due to the size if cards being used. 40 to 70mbps for laptops. My desktop upstairs away from my wireless modem using a ZTC AC1900 card Dual band card gets 130 to 170mbps at best.
I'm pretty satisfied.

Please fix the thumbnail photo. It says 100 MBPS which means 100 Mega Bytes per second. Well as you talk about 100Mbps which is Mega bits. Byte is 8 bits. As I am sure you know

What speed are you getting? Are you getting by on fewer than 100 Mbps? Or are you a "gimme moarrr" kind of person?
My house has 1gbps up/down from att. Reallt enjoying it. Zero lag or delay for 7 people in the house
We have Verizon DSL in our house- 5 mb/s internet. It's ok, but around 6 pm eastern time, it starts to slow down because of congestion.
OMG!! Now I’m jealous of everyone. My Internet barely even get near 2 mbps. I’m stuck with Hughesnet
I'm actually paying for a 300 Mbs connection not so much for the speed but the data cap. I get a 2 TB data cap with that connection. Last month I used 1.31 TB and had I been on the 100 MB plan with the 1 TB cap I would get hit with a $50.00 surcharge. So, the extra $15 for the higher speed is worth it to me.
I generally get between 20 - 30 mbps through Spectrum which is enough for streaming HD on two TVs while on the net
