The 30Mb/s they offer in their standard package is lots to stream "HD" off the net. AFAIK blurays eatup about 40Mb/s and there is no way anybody will stream you bluray quality video/audio.... a single bluray movie is about 35GB or so. That's a ton of data.

So far the 30 is doing just fine with nexflix and amazon movies. I have not had time this week to check out my "internet" search and videos or youtube etc,, the 10MB was NOT doing very well and that is why I switched. I am still working on figuring out my new keyboard, which only works on (the net) not on netflix etc. IF it does, I dont know how to use it yet. also there should be a little tv screen and reg one,,, again I have not had time to figure it all out.... where are the kids when you need them!!

30 with BH is plenty good for us for now. We stream Netflix on the main home TV and also on tablet/ipods/laptops. It was pushing it when we had 20 when my son would scream lag while playing internet games at the same time that more than one person was also watching Netflix or Youtube. 30 has kept things civilized...for now.
We also use the same internet connection for Ooma internet phone (no cost) and have long cut the cord from DirecTV. TV at home is free off the air with antenna in the attic and a home made computer/DVR that record all our favorite TV shows and even then, still don't have time to watch. The only thing I miss is ESPN but that's ok, that's where the "Tampa Bay Fishing Fun" thread can fill the void.

Thx for the update. I am very interested in how the keyboard ends up working for you. I will be following your updates and will purchase the keyboard if it works out for you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this information, as well as all the other great input you offer.
