@@FrugalRules Just bear this in mind that the processor in the TV's is cooled via convection and as it gets old the soldering joints start to detach from all the heat cycles. which is why connecting via tv to a computer is more reliable .

Thanks! If you're including original content, Hulu Live is usually the best pick for on-demand content.

Good review of what people should have if they want buffer free viewing. Please be more careful with terms like Mbps, megaBIT per second & MBps, MegaBYTE per second. Normal there’s 8 megabits per megabyte.

Thanks for this great video. I am a single streaming user and use the WOW cable internet which now gives me 270 Mbps download speed and a Ping of around 14. I just do HD streaming, I figure any 4k streaming is a bit of overkill at least for me. I hardly have any buffering now on my PC laptop, I7 processor, 1TB SSD drive, and direct ethernet cable connect to the WOW modem. I watch my Streaming on a 40 inch LCD screen connected via HDMI from the PC laptop. Starting now in June WOW cable is putting a top limit on data used(streaming, downloads, etc) so I will see how it goes on how close I get to that top limit number. I guess if I go over that number, I just have to pay extra for it. So far monthly cable bills the past couple of months since I cut the cord, has been 60 dollars for 300 Mbps speeds. Wow told me they would give me a notice if I approach the top data used number, and so far havent received any notice yet. take care.

Of course! It sounds like you've got a pretty decent setup, especially if you have no buffering and is within your budget. They should give you a notice. We're with Cox and they typically notify us with a couple of days left in the billing cycle, which is pretty rare for us.

Thank You for your video. Looking at our speed and devices I agree with all comments you have provided. I have a firestick 4k upstairs on wifi that is 50mps in Canada provided by a real fiber system from Bell canada. The router/modem is downstairs in the corner. No issues ever with buffering on any streamer where we pay a fee to enjoy. We have the following on WIFI - 2 phones, 2 tablets, 1 laptop, 2 amazon Show devices, 2 firesticks, 3 Echo speakers, 1 yamaha Alexa soundbar = 13 devices and no issues at all using 50MPS in Canada. 5 of my immediate neighbors also use the same system with less devices and no issues. So much for everyone needing 500MPS or 1 GB. In Canada we can now get 3 GBS. Why? That's enough per second GPS for 60 residences. That is proof positive that high speed internet of 500mps or more like 1GPS is a waste of money. Possibly users need new router/modems. Which you indicated.

A minor correction at time index 4:54 - Internet speed is measured in megaBits per second not Megabytes - to get the rate of mega bytes / take the number of the megabits and dived by 8 - So in 100 megabits divide by 8 = 12.5 megabytes .

I know this video is a year old but I just stumbled upon it and I'm sure others are as well. Just note that it is "bits" and not "bytes" (mbps). There are 8 bits in one byte. 200 mbps is about 25mb per second.

Great video! I currently have X-finity 200mbps unlimited because they gave me a special price for 1 year. As soon as that offer ends I will go back to the 100mbps unlimited plan, which is more than adequate for my needs since I'm the only one in my household. If someone asks me, I usually tell them to go with unlimited data if there is more than one person streaming in their household, or if they're streaming a lot of 4k content, which will destroy your data cap in a hurry. I would DEFINATELY recommend that they stay away from satellite internet if at all possible, because I have seen hardly any positive comments about it. The comments that I read about it's quality and reliability are OVERWHELMINGLY negative. Starlink seems to address the reliability and speed issues of satellite internet, but IMO it's much more expensive than wired internet of comparable speed. That's why Elon calls it "the better than nothing" internet service. For rural areas it seems to be the answer, if you can afford it.

Thanks! Agreed, we think 100 Mbps should be enough for you as one person unless you're doing a lot of gaming/streaming a lot of 4k or something like that. Excellent point on the satellite internet. We've had minimal experience with that - while traveling. It's often nowhere what you need and expensive to boot.

Good question. Generally speaking, no it shouldn't impact it. It can depend on the network equipment used & devices connected but if you're not actively not using multiples at once you should notice minimal impact.

I moved from an apartment that had fiber, to a rural home that had 5 mbps sadface. A year later they offered 10 mbps with a new modem that used both copper pairs and combined 2 internet lines. Speedtest shows 12.6 mbps and somehow that makes me happy rofl.
