Thinking of Changing ISPs....What's the better deal?

[Rekkapryde]

Got Condomcast - paying 73 a month for their 75down/12 up service. Dunno if I should re-up

or take this deal with the local joint for 50 a month with 150down/6 up.

For $50 that download speed is ok/good (if you're in an area without fiber). That upload speed is , but your experience will greatly vary based on what you do on the internet and how many people are saturating your provider's node at a given time. What kind of internet based services do you use right now (VoIP phone, gaming, etc)?

Gaming, VOIP (have OOMA).

Gaming, VOIP (have OOMA).

Both of those use your upload speed so you may have a worse experience with a lower UL speed. Not 100% sure what the suggested speeds are for either since I don't have VOIP and rarely game.

I heard gaming upload doesn't require much.

Upload speed usually doesn't matter that much for gaming unless you're running some kind of a server.

It does matter for VOIP, but I'd say 6 up is probably fine unless you're running a business or something with multiple IP phones.

250down and 10 up for 80 but I'm trying to reduce bills bruh.... Lol

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

The 50 dollar one is clearly better unless you do a lot of uploading

no gig in your area?

Nope

Only 150/12 with Comcast
50/7 with AT&T
250/10 with Nulink (I'm looking at that 150/6 with them)

I don't so I think I'll do that. How much does online gaming require? Does streaming require a lot?

Edit.... Apparently the deals are.

25/4 for 20 a month
100/6 for 30 a month
150/10 for 50 a month

I don't stream so I don't know about that, but gaming itself doesn't take much bandwidth. The most important part for gaming is ping.
