I would be happy with 40-50Mbps on my wireless computer. I don't think I put much stress on the bandwidth. I have my xbox one hardwired, but I rarely have the xbox on, while using the computer. Then I have the xps 18 all in one computer that is all wireless. Can't hardwire that, and then just a laptop, 2 cell phones and an ipad.
One thing I forgot to mention, I also had the cable technician put an inline filter on the line that goes to the cable modem. If I understood him correctly, the inline filter filters out the "noise" caused by the traffic meant for the DVR.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume this means that the cable modem spends less time filtering data packets meant for other devices as it is already pre filtered. I did not do any before/after testing to see if there was a big benefit from the inline filter or not. Just thought I would mention it.
