The Federal Communications Commission broke down the minimum download speed or megabits per seconds (Mbps) into a few simple categories.

You may think you have enough, but as your needs grow, so does your bandwidth. How much is enough bandwidth though? It all comes down to the download speed. Emailing your boss will not require as much bandwidth as having a Zoom call. There also needs to be some consideration in how different tasks require a different download speed. While you may not notice the slower speeds, chances are it is being affected. Factor in your visitors who come to spend the week, and your bandwidth may be inadequate to meet the demand. If your children are down the hall doing homework, then that's more bandwidth being used. If you are working on your laptop, browsing social media on your phone and checking your email on your tablet, then that's three separate devices using your bandwidth. There are other areas to consider, such as how many devices you use.

On the other hand, if you're a student or work from home, then your speeds will need to be higher than someone who works or attends school out of the house. Generally, if you live alone, then you may not require as much speed as a household of four. Asking other people may not help unless they have needs like your own. This really depends on several factors, and it will vary from person to person.
