So i recently got a new AC wireless adapter and get 300 mbps of speed on it. My friend tells me that it is essentially pointless to have any more speed than your ISP allows, is that true?

Suppose i got a new router and it allowed me to get 1300+ Mbps would it have any point at all? Would i notice any speed or stability difference ?

Thanks.

to the 2 responses, i made a typing error, meaning the question didn't make sense, so if i could get a new response please.

hi no it wouldn't as the fastest internet for a home user is 100Mbps so the difference dosn't matter unless you get 100Mbps a second then you will need 300+ Mbps router and wireless card also there is Mega bits per second and Mega bytes per second so look out for them as this could really change your network speed understanding.
hope this helps

Well, if you have Google fiber or another 1Gbps connection through your ISP, then it would be worth it.

Also, if you're doing a lot of in-home streaming or file transfers between wireless devices, the faster speed could be worth the investment for you.

For your internet connection, no, you wouldn't likely notice any difference. I copy and stream a lot of files from one PC to another here though, so I prefer the higher bandwidths.

300Mbps is the transmission speed in LAN, which means you will have a 300mbps speed between devices in LAN. It has nothing to with Internet surfingf or download from Internet.
