    One major AAA game update will likely break your connection for hours for all intents and purposes.

    Bitrate of a 1440p youtube video is going to be around 20mpbs (±4). Your 50 down connection couldn’t handle more than 2 streams. The lowest reported bitrate is 16mbps on their support page (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en#zippy=%2Cbitrate). 50/16 = 3.125, with network overhead you’d be VERY lucky to get 3 streams going without stuttering.

    It’s entirely possible that a family of 5 would run into issues if they’re all home and some want to watch videos.

    My family of 4 have been Plex trained… So I mitigate a lot of these problems personally.

    But it’s more likely that the 10 up breaks things even more. One person in the house uploading anything (or participating in zoom/teams/etc calls) will cripple your ability to make ANY request to the internet.
