What is a good internet speed?
Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you’re looking for an Internet plan that can include video conferencing, streaming video, or gaming, you’ll have a better experience with a more stable connection. Here’s an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for different apps, according to the Federal Communications Commission. Note that these are guidelines only — and that Internet speed, service, and performance vary by connection type, provider, and address.
For more information, see our guide to the internet speed you really need.
- 0 to 5 Mbps lets you handle the basics: surfing the web, sending and receiving emails, streaming low-quality video.
- 5 to 40 Mbps gives you higher quality video streaming and video conferencing.
- 40 to 100 Mbps should provide a single user with enough bandwidth to meet the demands of modern telecommuting, video streaming and online gaming.
- 100 to 500Mbps allows one or two users to simultaneously engage in high-bandwidth activities such as video conferencing, streaming and online gaming.
- 500 to 1000 Mbps allows three or more users to engage in high-bandwidth activities simultaneously.
How CNET picked the best ISPs in Murfreesboro
Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphones, laptops, routers or kitchen appliances, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a city. So what is our approach? We start by researching pricing, availability, and speed information, drawing from our own historical ISP data, provider sites, and FCC.gov mapping information.
But it doesn’t end there. We go to the FCC website to check our data and make sure we’re looking at every ISP that provides service in an area. We also enter local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and JD Power to gauge how satisfied customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent change; all information provided is accurate at the time of publication.
Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:
- Does the provider offer relatively fast internet access?
- Are customers getting decent value for what they pay?
- Are customers satisfied with their service?
While the answers to these questions are often multi-layered and complex, the vendors that come closest to saying yes to all three are the ones we recommend. When choosing the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also take into account things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively easy. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and the FCC. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)
