Regarding download speed, in the UK I can download at 200Mbs+ in the morning when most of North America is asleep.
Just choose a time when only a few people are using the servers.
But I do have a 285Mbs feed to my router, which I network at 1Gbit.
I highly recommend setting up a 1Gbit network at home. I use a cat5E cable to a cheap unmanaged Netgear switch for all PCs and laptops in the SIM.
A small 128KB buffer on the switch reduces lost packets and it flies along at Mach 1!
Other switches are available. I like the Netgear because of the metal case - it won’t fall apart even if you forget 3 of the 4 screws that hold the lid on. Ouch Boeing!
