Yeah. I'm capped at a measly 16 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up on my business
class connection because I'm using the absolute lowest tier speed to
save money. I typically get more like 18/4 Mbps, according to
speedtest.net though. Before that I had consumer ~60/6 Mbps service.  It
looks like they've raised that to 105 Mbps for that tier consumer
service now. Anyway, even with a healthy Netflix appetite and lots of
regular internet use going on between multiple people in the house, I
haven't found the drop in speed to be noticeable most of the time. So
it's worth the savings on my monthly bill to me. : )
