Internet Speed

Do you see and advantage in changing my internet from 120mps to 400mps ?

4 users at home.

Thanks

Depends on the type of usage, normally 120 mbps is sufficient to watch 4 video 4K at the same time

However, if you have an XBOX or Playstation will be great to have 400Mbps, for couple of times a month, the games update are huge, and you can download 3 times faster :D

But a short answer, 120 Mbps is more than enough on my humble opinion

We use only two at the same time, so it's ok 120. And for team/zoom meetings?

Yes you can change your plan every month.

Unless you are big gamers, no

Do you work from home? If yes your work is very demanding in term of bandwidth (remote interface, video or hr images processing...)? How many of you use internet at the same time and for doing what?

The benefit might be more with the increase in upload speed as well. Perhaps if you move large files or do lots of online meetings.

Can you change your plan with Fizz Internet the same way as you do with mobile? (sorry but I've not fizz internet at home) If yes, then you could try and if you don't see any improvement you can revert back to the old plan...
