"Streaming TV shows and movies is the eighth most popular use for broadband in 2014; an activity which uses a relatively minimal download speed of 7Mbps for Super HD quality viewing(5). Similarly, browsing the internet, checking emails and social networking remain the most popular online activities in three quarters of households (77 per cent), requiring a base speed of just 5Mbps. Despite this, UK households are paying for an average speed of 32Mbps, which is over six times higher than they need."
When there are quite a few in the household using different devices Chad you will find that the higher speeds are needed by some and remember for quite a few even getting a base speed of just 5Mbps is just not attainable for quite a few people as my Parents don't even get 1Mbps in their household.
