What speed internet should I buy?
Any chance you can give free advise (maybe one time). I am in FL trying to decide on internet and want fast enough speed for whole house internet (with repeaters or extenders) , smart tv / UTube Tv. What is the right amt of speed?

Over 150 down would be the minimum you should consider. Above 200 is preferable. Keep in mind when someone says you have “gigabit speeds” that is when being delivered via a wire. Wireless throughput drops pretty quickly as soon as you step 5 ‘ away from a router. Wireless repeaters (when not hardwired) only send out what they can receive. So often, more important than “how fast of internet should I buy?” is the question “How strong can my wifi routers send signal throughout the house. Two types of frequencies. 2.4 and 5ghz. 5 is basically meaningless at this point. You want the best ability to broadcast out 2.4 as you can. 2.4 travels farther than 5 but carries less info. 2.4 will cut through walls whereas 5 will fail at walls.
