Home internet from AT&T
The right type of internet connection depends on your broadband needs. Internet speed and bandwidth requirements typically depend on the number of connected devices on your home network and your intended internet activities.
If you want to quickly download large files, stream video in 4k resolution or make video calls, those activities will have a greater requirement for high-speed internet than if you’re using your internet connection to check e-mails – especially with multiple users in a household.
