internet in spruce woods/shilo area
9/2/2016 at 4:33 PM

Hey I just recently moved out to spruce woods. I'm currently with MTS. They said my internet speed would go from 25 Mbps to 5-7 Mbps. That seems like a huge difference to me so I was wondering what type of service other people are using or if Sticking with MTS would be worth it. I'm not even aware of what other options we have so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!!!

We switched to netset lte and are on the cheapest package. We get around 6 Mbps and have the bell internet stick to watch on demand. It buffers for about 10-20 seconds when we choose a program and then after that it plays fine. We also have iPads and tablets connected and they all work great. We are only on the cheapest as we don't use a huge amount. The next package up is 12 Mbps if we need it.

Anything over 5mbs is ok for netfilx just lower your video quality under preferences or go with netset 12 mbs or 18 mbs then u have no problems unless there system is congested as a lot on the same tower.
