I currently have 300mb fiber and was wondering if 1gig would be worth it. We have 4 PC/laptops, 1 tablet, 4 phones, and about 10 other Internet connected devices. Most devices are on WiFi and seem to get about 50mb to 100mb speed. Would gig Internet really help that out?

    I don’t have 1G fibre however

    The ‘benefit’ of 1G fibre is that more devices can share that bandwidth. You don’t notice day to day but when multiple people are using the internet;

    • Work from Home
    • Gaming and updates
    • Uploading images to the cloud
    • Security cameras in use
    • Maybe uploading a video to YouTube
    • Streaming on IPTV; Netflix, Disney+ etc

    and there’s so much more that happens, all so seamlessly without a hiccup. It would be likely be just as awesome on 300Mbps too however on 1G you can burst more, especially when you need something as soon as possible.

    As for your WiFi issue. You need more WiFi points around to solve that.
