Maybe a dumb question, but at what speed is there really no difference in the internet. In other words, if someone gets 15 Mps (like me), what am I missing by not getting 1Gps?
Now, I am not playing hi tech video games, or running a super computer, but doing general work, streaming movies, etc., web surfing, I dont have any problems. Mostly. LOL

If checking the internet or surfing the web, you don't need very fast internet. But if you do a lot of 4K streaming (movies, games), file transfers, or concurrent usage (wife/kids playing video game while you watch a movie), the faster (larger) internet bandwidth will help.
Not a dumb question btw!

Anything less than 5 gigs would be mortifying. I wouldn’t be able to show my face at dinner parties.

To continue down the "rabbit hole", LOL with another general question. At what point does the human eye not be able to really tell a difference in screen quality?
When I go to a store and see the different TV's with the different screen qualities, oftentimes, the difference is almost nothing.
