    What internet speed should I get?

    I have Apple TV, Roku, a computer and PS3 - I like to play online games.

    We watch TV and like all the HD stuff.

    How fast should I go?

    Time Warner offers:

    30 Mbps
    20 Mbps
    15 Mbps
    10 Mbps

    You can probably get away with 10Mbps, just don't turn on everything at the same time.

      As fast as you can afford. I use TW at home and they are part of some of our diversified fiber lines at work. I recommend them.

        Do you use your PC while doing some of the other things simultaneously? The Apple TV and Roku being used at the same time as well? I tend to internet quite a bit while watching Hulu+ on my xBox and the Roku going in another room. I do experience a little slow down here and there w/15mb will all devices running wireless-G.

        If so, are you downloading a lot, uploading as well? If you like HD and tend to download a lot. Then you might want to at least go 15-20mb. If running wireless-G, go wireless-N if possible.

          Start off with 10 if it's not fast enough you can upgrade it.

                if you have money, the most you can afford.

                just a note.. not all sites provide content to you at the same speed. they have to pay for their pipes too. not to mention, if you have to traverse the country to get your data, you're kinda like at a max speed for those situations and you have wasted bandwidth.

                however if you torrent, download play and watch (or any combo) more speed will help you. most i do is download, watch hd and browse simultaneously but as often. download and browse or download and watch is most i do. i know i have some wasted bandwidth but i make up for it by using as much comast will allow my on my monthly max usage.
