I remember being impressed 5 years ago with the 1GBPS connection that the University (for some reason) made available for people living in their student residences. Never again did I have such an outstanding connection speed (surviving with 50MBPS right now...)

If that's an ACTUAL 50MB/s connection, then that's incredibly good! If it's 50MB/s as in the line, then that's just good and above average. Currently, I have a 24MB/s line here AND sharing it with 6 others (we are Uni students), so I only get like 800KB/s down and 30KB/s up...;-;

Anyway, back from Uni, uploaded a short video (will publish it soon) as a test during VLSI lab, 732MBs big and it finished uploading in LESS than 3 seconds!O_o Now I know where I will be going to mass upload stuff for my channel:P

That's a 50MBPS when the day is shiny or something. On good days I get 48MBPS down and 10MBPS up, on bad days I get 20MBPS down and 10MBPS up, on terrible days I get 3MBPS down and 10MBPS up. It is weird how upload seems unaffected, that said, most days are good days.
PS: I'm not sharing, it is my preciooous! /s

Anything above 15 is more than enough unless you need to download something HUGE! Hell, even a 1MB/s down speed is incredible compared to the average 540KB/s worldwide (first and second world countries)!

We don't really want to share, but we got to, as we hardly have enough money to make it through the month, no spare to splurge on internet... It's a sad life...

Netflix 4K cries when it goes below 16MBPS, on the terrible days it is unwatchable. Other than that mostly everything is fine. (yeah, I know these are all "first world problems")

Why even watch in 4K? Is 1080p too bad for you? Unless you have a screen that's bigger than 32 inches, 4K is literally impossible to notice (because of how it works)! And yeah, first world problems all the way:P
