What's fast internet speed?
The current FCC standards for internet speeds are 25Mbps. However, these will not support most activities today such as HD streaming or downloading music on your phone - that's why we recommend going up to 50 Mbps if you want a stable connection while also enjoying high-quality video services from Netflix in addition to other online tasks like gaming and web browsing!
