I am thinking of downgrading my internet speed but I’m not sure if I should. I currently pay $35/month for 15 Mbps internet. The latency is pretty good (~50ms or less). I could save $20/month by dropping down to a 2 Mbps plan for $15. Considering I don’t make that much money, well, saving money is good.

I know one other person with the lower plan and he says he can stream Netflix just fine. He says he can also do online gaming without any lag. I am not planning on doing online gaming but I do stream on occasion, either Netflix or something like that. I do sometimes watch YouTube. I do download music sometimes but speed isn’t an issue here as I’ll set something up to download and then go to bed and it will be done in the morning.

Thoughts? Anyone have 2 Mbps internet or similar speed? What is your experience with it? Thanks.
