Trying to move to a cheaper tier of Internet service with Xfinity. I have 1000 Mbps now, and that's $85/mo. If I cut that in *half,* it only saves me $10.
If I cut it down to 300 Mbps, then it's $55/mo. Shit
So is 300 Mbps going to be ok for a house where one person works from home (including hosting webinars and video meetings), and two kids who will occasionally download and play co-op video games online?
yes, to my knowledge. 300Mbps would be fine even for multiple people in the same house, probably even when multiple of them were on video calls together
You can make that bandwidth go farther for you by implementing QoS on your wireless router if you aren't already. You can priorize the traffic from your work computer and lower the priority on their game consoles during a workday or something on the off chance you all begin eating a lot of bandwidth simultaneously.

I know that I'm Canadian and so I can't get over 50Mbps where I live, and I abuse it hard but it's easily tolerable

I've never known anyone who's run into problems in the hundreds of megabits range
