Is Spectrum Internet 50 Mbps speed adequate for home use?

Thanks

This info is not from Spectrum at the lake.

The lowest internet I believe Spectrum offers now is 100mps. We have 100 and  I ran today some speed tests today...they were run on wireless. They tell us to run the tests on Ethernet but new Apple computers have no plug in for ethernet. I average around 47mps to  61mps for download depending on time of day.

I have never approached 100. As to speed at home, I don't play games but there are 2 wireless Apples used during the day. Also, I don't watch movies on the Apple.

For our use, they Spectrum is more than adequate which is used to Google, spread sheets, email, and spending the rest of my time on the Forum-Off-Topic.

My router is an Apple router that is 10 years older. I wonder if my speed would be closer to 100 with a new router?

Now to answer your question, how adequate is 50mps...depends how close to 50 you are....but, I am surprised they are offering you 50 as the minimum they show is 100. Go on the internet and look at their site. Are you on someother site that is playing games with their offer?

The 50 meg is called internet lite.  It isn't offered to everyone.  ONe of my neighbors got it for 20 bucks a month.  When I decided to go back to charter I tried to get it but didn't "qualify" although no one could tell me why.  50 meg will do all that most households needs.

It would be if you got that speed. In our experience with them and what I believe is their 60M product over on Dadeville side I've never seen speeds above 30ish down. Upload speeds are abysmal so if you need that for work, etc. take into account. 

Of course we don't have a lot of options so it's sorta take what you can. Apparently they know that....

Wish I could get 50 MBPS!  I can only get Verizon Wireless 4G and it is a paltry 2-4 MBPS (2.5 as I speak here). And, we are less than 1.5 miles from the tower.  The best I have ever seen is about 20 MBPS at night with the antenna optimized.
