Try it out. The "TV receiver" will hog up some bandwidth, but it is usually not very demanding. But if it turns out to be too demanding, then upgrading to higher bandwidth is recommended. You may also need to upgrade your modem to a DOCSIS one if it isn't already for 50 down.

It shouldn't have much influence on your gaming as long as you have a decent quality router with QoS(Quality of Service). My parents have a connection like that. During the holidays they watch netflix, my siblings use WIFI, and I play games without issue. Only upgrade if you really think it's important.

Nice. It is a DOCSIS modem. So upgrade only when you need to. I would suggest that you try it out first. If it works out, then there is no need to upgrade. If not, then feel free. Though, 10 -> 50 is a very big jump. Your ISP does not have a package in between like 20 down?
