Now this is where I would get in trouble. I would proceed to say "well if you don't like em then you can do it yourself". Don't complain when other people do things for you.

She might like them if she gives herself a chance to get used to them. I gotta get some of those; the brighter the light, the better I like it.

Hmm....100Mbps internet for ~$75/month after taxes, plus $50 install fee from the local Time Warner affiliate.

Or 50Mbps for ~$25/month with no install fee from the local Telecom.....but they can't get someone out to install for at least 2 weeks :/

If I'm planning on using the internet for tv (Amazon Fire Stick, Netfix, HBO Go, other streaming etc) plus the usual browsing stuff, is 50Mbps enough (1 person)?

Not likely. A good streaming speed is <100Mbps, anything less will be laggy. Personal experience.

On a side note: consider acquiring your own modem. It'll reduce your monthly costs by $15 or more, since the rent price on the company's modem is included in the monthly subscription.

That's never fun, did you win at least?
I forced myself awake before she had the chance to. :)

We have Spectrum (formerly Brighthouse/TWC/addwhatevercompanyheretohidethemonopoly) and pay for 50Mps, but usually get a tad more. We usually have mixture of cable tv, netflix, two phones, a laptop and a desktop going on and off. Never have a problem.

50Mbps is quite fast enough for most streaming needs. Currently I'm at 49.38/6.07 with 12ms latency. I rarely have problems streaming any video, even full-screen. If you're planning on gaming, you want higher data rates (up and down) and as low latency as you can get. For your apparent needs, either would work well... but get your own data modem. You'll thank yourself because you can get a higher quality one than you might otherwise get and you'll save yourself the rental charge and therefore any taxes on that...
