How Fast of an Internet Speed

[Lionel Quiambao]

Hi all! What speeds would you recommend putting in a medium-term furnished rental? It's a 3 bedroom house and we plan to use technology such as a smart lock, WIFI exterior cameras, and a smart thermostat. That on top of the tenants' usage, what speeds would you offer? And do you have any recommendations with regards to modem / router?

My STR had 15 Mbps, and I could stream Netflix on four TVs and a mobile device without any lag. However, that's in a sparsely populated area. In a more populated market, you will have more people sharing the same internet hub and it can affect your true speeds. I would aim for 100 Mbps to stream to multiple devices.
