The right broadband speed for you is one that lets you do everything you need to online quickly and smoothly. This goes for your whole household - you need a speed that lets everyone you live with stream, download, game and work from home without any buffering or frustratingly slow loading times. However, you should also make sure you don't choose an extremely fast speed that you don't need. The price of a deal usually goes up as the speed gets faster, so make sure you don't end up overpaying for a speed you'll never make use of. There will likely be lots of different speeds available in your area, so it's good to figure out what you need first before you sign up to a particular deal. Read our guide for more detail on what broadband speed you need.
