I realize this is going to be subjective, and there is probably no right answer, but I'm wondering if I would be worth it to upgrade my internet speed. I'm with Spectrum and pretty happy with them overall. We have a 100 mbps connection currently, and they now offer up to 400 mbps in our area. 100 mbps has always been fast enough for my needs. Now with everyone working/going to school at home, I'm not sure if I'm missing out on anything by having only 100 mbps speed.
When I do a Speedtest on my work computer (on vpn), it only gets around 30 mb, but if I do it without the vpn running, it gets the full 100 mb. I've had minor issues with webex meetings occasionally, but it seems like that is more due to the vpn than my internet speed (or possibly one of the other attendee's connections).
Videos load & files download quickly enough for me. But I don't know if I'm missing out on something I'm not thinking of (like would I get a faster work vpn connection if my internet were faster or some other benefit that I haven't thought of). I guess what I'm asking is, does anyone who knows more about this than I do, feel like 100 mbps would cause any bottlenecks for a couple working at home (both with regular office type jobs, and mainly using computers for webex meetings, internet, emails, Microsoft office, etc)?
Thanks in advance,
