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

    it depends on usage patterns honestly. You didn’t mention any single activity that would really struggle on a 70/70 Internet connection. The issues would start when you run 3 Netflix streams and a zoom call while patching your game library. 4k Netflix is about 25 mbps on average.

      With a family of six i think it’s basically guaranteed at least three people want to do something at the same time.
