    250 Mbps vs 1 Gbps Internet Speed

    I currently have 1 Gbps fiber internet which is used mainly for working from home, streaming 4K content, and other general internet use (no gaming or big downloads or uploads). Would I notice if I were to switch to 250 Mbps? It would save me $13/mo.

    Both are on the same carriers (Visible - Verizon LTE) and both are with no cases on them. I tried a few servers around me and iPhone 12 Pro performed better each time compared to my iPhone X with an older version of Qualcomm modem. Very satisfied with the upgrade. https://streamable.com/57uwuo
