"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."
Being a keen gamer the faster speeds (100mbs) are a must for me for the higher ping and upload.
Most people who just use net for streaming,emails, surfing ect don't really need much more than 8mbs though.
