It seems that everyone wants the fastest Internet speed that they have available in their area. It must be a "keeping up with the Jones'" thing because there is so little difference between the fastest and the second fastest and even the third fastest tier of Internet speed that most would never even notice the difference. That is until the bill comes.
The average household now has three to five computers connected to the Internet. Just 10 years ago the average was just two computers. Speeds have gone from dialup to almost directly connected to the Internet. ISP's have continually added higher speeds as fast as they were available to them. The "tier's" start at around $10 a month and can be as much as $100 a month. The question is how much value is the highest tier?
If you have four computers constantly downloading four different video feeds, then yes, the highest tier is probably for you. However if it is rare that you have simultaneous video downloads than you may be fine by picking a speed closer to the middle tier. You can save $10 to $50 a month just by dropping your Internet speed. That is $120 to $600 a year in savings.
