Hello,

Is the 940 MBPS worth it over the 500 MBPS for the 6$ price difference? This is after a 1$ reward rebate. Was thinking of downgrading to the 500 MBPS but I am unsure...

I stream 4K videos, download 4K movies and WFH. I also have Fizz TV.

Thanks!

    You can do it with 500 Mbps too without problems.

    According to https://fizz.ca/en/faq/which-speed-should-i-choose, the 500Mbps plan is good for:

    • 12+ users
    • 4K video calls
    • 5-day work from home office
    • 4K streaming
    • Serious online gaming
    • All smart objects, 4K security cameras

    You can always change your plan to 500Mbps to see if it is fast enough for you; if not, you can always change it back to 940Mbps next month.

    I would keep the higher bandwidth, especially for such a small price difference.
    If you'll actually use it depends on you, it's with modern online services it's not a challenge using those bandwidths up.

    500 Mbps would be enough

    I currently have the 500mbps. You can always switch your plan if you find it's not enough. The modem works great but expect some wifi signal drops if you have more than one floor. My modem is upstairs and I get around half the speed downstairs.

    This could come from the modem but also from the device depending on the speed it supports.
