Well, Virgin are really screwing me over now and putting prices up yet again. I cant even get rid of a phone and line I never use coz price will go even higher!!!! Rant Over. on to my question.
I have always had 100mb broadband and I am now needing to cut bills so I need to know will I experience any lag or difference if I reduce my speed to 50mb??

I also need advice on any good recordable free-view boxes but Ill ask that in another post so as not to clog this one up.
Cheers everyone.

Kodi needs 10mbps minimum to run, around 50 will be well enough.

when you play a video press the O on the keyboard it will show you how much bandwidth the video is taking most 720p are around 1.5mb/ps to 6mb/ps 1080p is about 10 to 15mb/ps to 20mb/ps. 50mb internet will work fine mate. 4k will take up to 35mb/ps

Thanks for the advice everyone. Looks like I am going to down grade. I didnt know about pressing the O key to check. Will do that tonight.
Thanks again
