I moved recently and cut the cord in the process. Got a boxee and my xbox and between the two watch literally anything I could possibly ever want. My question, though: what speed internet do you guys use? I ask because there's one point that's been bugging me lately: I like playing a game on the PC (Starcraft 2 or whatever) while watching TV if I'm trying to really escape from thinking about anything. I'm averaging 35mbps down, so I imagine it's not really a problem, but I do get occasional big lagging/buffering/etc. spikes. So what internet speeds do you internet-only users select from your internet provider? I can upgrade mine, but the 50 mbps or (goodness) 105 mbps options kind of eat into my "saving money by cutting the cord" bonus.

Time for an upgrade. Do you guys wire everything or go wireless? Will going wireless cause issues (is that why you asked that)?

Cmdr. Shepard posted:Netflix HD only needs a 3mbps connection. I have a 5mbps connection, the fastest I can get from AT&T and it has never been a problem. I cannot figure out why you're worried about a 35mbps connection, that's faster than like 99% of the entire United States population. I'm not "worried" but I'm getting a lot of lag and buffering and wanted to know what's what. Thanks for all the input, I figured because there were faster options that those speeds would be warranted. Apparently, if you get the faster packages, you're either running a business in your apartment or are completely insane. Thanks guys. Working on figuring out what, if not the speed itself, is causing the issue.
