500 is the sweet spot, at least for downloads. I have it and it's fast enough for all my needs. Upload can be less, although I'd love to have more than the current 50. Good luck with your move!

Thanks a lot! Will be an interesting journey for sure.

And yeah that's what I thought, I had 100 asymmetrical before when living alone, and thought there's still room for improvement, but it's a declining balance really. My friend has a 4 person household and never even came close to utilizing his full bandwidth, he basically told me he took the biggest package just because he could.
