As the title states.
Both myself and my parter are avid gamers.
All 4 kids are also gamers, but watch Netflix etc. too and with our current connection, all is fine.
Our main concern is that we both are remote workers and work from home, anything that throttled our internet connection would become unsustainable to us.
Some sites say that 70mbps is pushing it, but should be okay, others say it’s completely untangible
Any advice is greatly appreciated
That’s going to be pretty constraining. I don’t think you necessarily need 500 most of the time, but 70 is just to little for 6 people at once.
Most of the time, you’ll probably be fine, but there will definitely be times where your network gets so congested that your video streams and gaming performance will suffer.
This is even worse if you’re moving to something like a wireless connection, where packet loss is going to be worse, or a satellite connection, where latency will be higher.
