One thing that you must keep in mind is that the internet speed will vary for different devices. You may get a slightly different result on your laptop than you do on your smartphone or tablet.

Refresh your modem and router once in a while by restarting them to help boost your internet speed. Lastly, if a device is not in use disconnect it from your WiFi network.

Finding your internet speed requirement can be quite a tedious task for some people. Here are some simple ways to find out the answer:
You can face speed lags due to multiple reasons. Your router or modem may be the culprit, so try to refresh and reposition your equipment. If you still face issues, you may want to upgrade your internet speed and opt for Spectrum Ultra or Gig Internet.
When you consistently face internet speed lags, it is better to test your internet speed, so you can report it to customer service. You may also want to test your internet speed to find out if you are getting the advertised speed or not.
Your ideal internet speed depends on your internet usage. You may want to choose the highest internet speed to avoid any speed lags and enjoy a better online experience if you like to stream and game online. However, if your internet usage is minimal a basic plan would suffice.
