I got a mailer on this last week. I don't feel i need this speed, but I've always been curious, what's the max download speed from most websites? My office is a hub for a multinational company. My speedtest just now is 220 down and 64 up. Theoretically, I could max download from 4 different companies if i was the only one downloading.

Based on what we currently access online, 1 Gbps is excessive.
TL;DR version that's enough bandwidth for 64 4K TV streams.
These are the bandwidth requirements for NetFlix:

Low (0.3 GB per hour)
Medium (SD: 0.7 GB per hour)
High (Best video quality, up to 3 GB per hour for HD and 7 GB per hour for Ultra HD)

Now we have to do some math because GB =/= Gb. 1 Gb = .125 GB (the same factor applies for MB vs Mb).
7 GBph = .1167 GBpm = .00194 GBps
1 Gbps = .125 GBps
.125/.00194 = 64.43 4K streams

On a LAN under ideal conditions, you can squeeze probably around 113 MB/sec or so max out of a gigabit connection if you can max out the pipe, say with a fast SSD transfer. I'd guess that many sites on the internet can't fully support half of that kind of speed.

See my previous post, Megabit =/= MegaByte
1000 Mbps = 125 MBps
Proper capitalization is important when talking about this topic.

Gotcha. Sorry

Big difference between a theoretical speed test and real world download test though. Plus that's reported as megabits. I meant megabytes.
How I wished I still lived in Laffy just for that though.
ATT charges my business over $1200 for 50/50. I imagine a gigabit business connection in Laffy can't be more than $500.
