As the title states.

Both myself and my parter are avid gamers.

All 4 kids are also gamers, but watch Netflix etc. too and with our current connection, all is fine.

Our main concern is that we both are remote workers and work from home, anything that throttled our internet connection would become unsustainable to us.

Some sites say that 70mbps is pushing it, but should be okay, others say it's completely untangible

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Use a router with Cake SQM (or other good QoS) and configure it correctly, on both upload and download. In my experience, managing multiple sites, this is a life saver.

My last router made it pretty easy to throttle the connections to specific IP addresses. I made it so the kids and TV received lower priority than my work computer, and all was well.
