9. I had 10 mbps since 2016 and Roku had no buffering issues.

Neither did the Google chromecast device. I did have a lot of buffering streaming directly from a computer (livenewson.com for msnbc live).

Just moved to Spectrum (formerly Time Warner) and have 200 mbps for same cost. No issues w customer service either.

I guess the streaming devices buffer enough to fill in the gaps.

Hang in there 5g wireless should be available in the next year.
