Hi - what do you think is the best internet speed for streaming movies - seems every time I try to watch something it buffers - but I also don't want to pay way more than needed. Have been thinking about adding VOIP but if movies are slow how will VOIP affect it

What are you on right now?  
what are you streaming?  
how many users will be on this at the same time?  
Wi-Fi or wired?

on MTS Fibe 25  
TV programs on the station's website ie Global  
one, maybe two computers at one time  
both wi-fi and wired.  
 
I have rebooted my modem and router so many times.

Check your download/upload speed at http://www.speedtest.net/  
The package you have states up to 25 mbps which is plenty for streaming and web surfing. If it is way off, a call to MTS stating what you are paying for and what the test results are would be in order. If it is within range you will have to see if there may be a program on the computer(s) that may be high-jacking your data speed ie a virus or malware. There could be numerous other things but I would start there first.  
 
Just reading the above post and I would agree. If you aren''t opposed to switching providers the move to Westman would probably be the best bet.

Your more likely having an issue with whatever device that is provding your internet (router, modem) or your computers are buggered if your having buffering issues on that plan.

have Fibe 50, call BellMTS and tell them you want the fibe 50 for the same cost as the 25 bc Westman has a 40mbps service for about $10 less that the 25 Bell offers. that is how I have 50 for the cost of 25

thanks everyone - I didn't think for the amount I am doing that I should need more speed. I will follow the suggestions and see what happens.
