Going from 500mbps -> 70mbps with a family of 6, how feasible is this? (alien.top)

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

Why are you downgrading? Call the company and see if they have any specials for like 2 years at a reduced cost for the 500Mbps
