Moving from a place where average mbps speed is around 100, how much lower can you get to have seemless wfh experience (eg showing excel over zoom whilst sending an email & watching netflix in the background)?

Is 60mbps good enough for wfh with zoom etc? I would also appreciate any input on what other factors i should consider & suggestion for providers & cost

Ditto, I sit around 60-75 and have one
of the most reliable speeds and connections compared with many colleagues some of whom are constantly freezing and dropping out.

I think it can be dependent on location so make sure you’ve got a reliable provider. Alternative you can look at is a 4G router with a sim. This will obviously be dependent on general bandwidth on the 4G bands, but you can get solid 50+ speeds. Recently worked overseas at had around 100+ regularly.
