I wanted internet for my apartment. Is 50 Mbit fast and sufficient with a 16,000 line?

Since I'm moving into a new apartment soon and would like to have an Internet connection for it, I wanted to ask you whether a 16,000 line from Vodafone would be sufficient for me alone (1 person) in the apartment? You can probably choose different Mbit here. I wanted to take 50 Mbit. Would it be enough just for me?

I have 4 devices that I use alternately: TV, laptop, smartphone, Ipad

How expensive would the package be approximately per month? 30.00 euro?

Ha

At 16,000 you pay 29.99 euro.

Don't understand how you can have 50Mbps on a 16,000 line.

The 16,000 means that you have a maximum of 16 Mbit / s available.

You have 50 Mbit / s accordingly with a 50,000 line.

These cost between 30 and 40 euro with router rental together.

Okay, then I got it wrong. Is the 16,000 line sufficient? I'm alone. How expensive would it be?

Personally, I find a 16,000 line way too weak. So you need 20-30 minutes even for small downloads in the 1 gigabyte range. If it's not that important to you to have very fast downloads, 50,000 is enough. Otherwise I would recommend 100,000. For this I pay 45 euro a month with a router. You have to first check whether 50 or 100 are available in your place of residence. That depends on the cables that are laid.

But you can get a 16,000 line first. If you are not satisfied with this, can you increase to 50,000 or 100,000 at some point?! It doesn't work the other way around, does it? From 50,000 back to 16,000 ?!

Si

You can of course get 16,000 first and if you are not satisfied you can improve to 50,000. It doesn't work the other way around, no. When upgrading the line, you always have no internet the day before implementation, as it has to be activated first.

Thank you for the answer. Which cheap provider can you recommend? Vodafone is likely to be expensive or are all providers equally expensive?

Si

I have a 100,000 line from Telekom and I'm actually very satisfied.

"16,000 line" means: 16,000 kbit / s, i.e. 16 Mbit / s. How should 50 Mbit / s be achieved over a line with a maximum data rate of 16 Mbit / s?

a 16,000 line from Vodafone

Whether the 16,000 line comes from Vodafone or from whom is completely irrelevant.

16 Mbit / s should not be enough for TV reception. Here you can't get by below 25 Mbit / s, better probably 50 Mbit / s to have reserve.

How expensive would the package be approximately per month? 30.00 euro?

Maybe you just consult the price list of the desired provider?
