    Will I notice 50/50 Internet speeds over 25/25?

    Moving into a new house, Verizon Fios, my choices are 25up/25down or 50/50 for $10 more a month.

    Will the 50/50 be worth the $10/month and will I even notice it?

    Sure, I download movies sometimes, not often, but I mostly play MMOs mobas and fps.

    Are you going to be living with others that will also use the Internet connection?

    Do you stream videos (from Netflix/Youtube/Twitch etc?)

    If MMOs/mobas and fps are all you do 25/25 is probably enough.

    If you don't do a lot of uploading probably not. Or downloading. If it's mostly for gaming then probably not. If you do a lot of multitasking and uploading to youtube and such then maybe.

    Yes but not a crazy amount, although I suppose I will be using Netflix a lot more and HBO GO since I have a chromecast going to one of my TV's instead of a cable box.

    I do a lot of multitasking, and depending on which monitor I get, I might be uploading to youtube more.

    Maybe I'll just suck it up, its $10.

    You will definitely notice the 50 if you stream/download HD stuffs. If you find yourself waiting for a file ever, then ten bucks just saved you some of your life. Otherwise just keep that cash.

    Set it up, called verizon, they pretty much begged me to upgrade to 75/75 because of the number of devices or whatver.

    I've been on 25/25 forever in a big house with a ton of shit, fuck 75/75. I still went with 50/50 though lol. Thanks for the help.

    Yeah, I'm completely fine with 50/50 here lol

    Like another 10 or 15 dollars.

    It's something like 110/mo for the extreme TV package with hbo nfl network etc and the 50/50.

    They'll always upgrade you. Always start with the cheaper one if you're not sure how much you need, and upgrade it if it proves to be a problem.
