1000/1000 for like $3 a month. But that’s with the caveat of living in China, where I need a VPN to access most western websites, so that’s my bottleneck.
Domestically I can get the full bandwidth when streaming (ton of English content available for cheap), but once I need to use the VPN it drops to maybe 200-300 mbit, depending on the server and current utilization.
Moving to Malaysia in less than 2 months where I can get 2gbit for about $90 (tested at my friend’s house), but honestly I think I’ll settle on 500. It’s more than I can realistically use in a 2 person household, and it’s like 20 bucks.
500 is the sweet spot, at least for downloads. I have it and it’s fast enough for all my needs. Upload can be less, although I’d love to have more than the current 50. Good luck with your move!
Thanks a lot! Will be an interesting journey for sure.
And yeah that’s what I thought, I had 100 asymmetrical before when living alone, and thought there’s still room for improvement, but it’s a declining balance really. My friend has a 4 person household and never even came close to utilizing his full bandwidth, he basically told me he took the biggest package just because he could.
