Internet speeds in the 100–200 Mbps range are considered to be fast, since they can handle common uses like streaming and video chat for two-five users at once. Speeds above 200 Mbps and up into the 1,000 Mbps range are considered to be faster than average, and can support five or more users.

Internet speeds above 100 Mbps download are considered to be good for regular use. However, factors like upload speed and latency should also be considered for use cases like home offices and gaming, where upload capacity for files and reaction time for user actions is particularly important.

The average internet speed offered in urban areas is generally around 100 Mbps, although this will be higher in neighborhoods with fiber access. In rural areas, 25 Mbps is a more normal speed, particularly in areas that do not have DSL or cable. Rural locations fall back on satellite, which currently offers 25 Mbps as a maximum speed.
