Moving into an apartment and debating 1G internet speeds - is it worth it? (alien.top)

Was wondering just how worth it for my apartment it would be. I'm a nurse so will have 4 days off a week I like to stay busy but also like to play video games like ff14. Other than that i just stream Netflix, Hulu, max, and other videos. I don't game competitively.

It's $50 a month so nothing crazy, but still if it's overkill and I can save some money then why not.

Also, I'm not sure what router I'd need to handle the speeds. If that's gonna be pretty expensive then I'd rather stay around 500mbps even though the downloads would be rough

I pay $50/mo for 1Gbs here in TN. How low can you actually go on the price? Typically you don't see anything less than $50/mo for Internet that not exceptionally bad. I'd keep the 1Gbs. Most routers these days are capable of 1Gbs unless QoS is needed at that speed too.
