The larger issue that Joe consumer isn't aware of is that there are a ton of factors that play into your internet surfing experience. Simply increasing your bandwidth isn't going to help once you get beyond 25 or 50 mbps.

Interesting. I would like to know more about getting the most out of my bandwidth and personal network if you're willing to share or point me in the right direction. I was finding that my MLB.TV streaming experience was lagging at times so I ended up hardwiring my computers and that seemed to do the trick on the download side of things. My upload speeds seem very weak however.
As an uneducated cord-cutter I've kind of pieced my network together. I have the Telus internet 25mbps package, using a Apple Time Capsule as my router, hardwired to all computers and running Plex (definitely not to its full capabilities) on a MacMini.
I don't really have a specific question, but I'm looking to learn and figure out what I can do to optimize my setup and get the best streaming experience with as little lag as possible.
Sorry for the thread hijack OP.
