My internet is shit but it's cheap. 19 usd a month for 40mbps down and 5 up. It's cheap enough that I can't complain really.

40 is fine. You can stream HD content with that. Unless you're downloading a lot of big files, speed is highly over rated. It's more important to be reliable. I'd rather pay $19 for 40 than $70 for 500.
