I live in an area where the connection is generally bad. I have 4k and I want to stream Netflix and other sites but it requires 25mbps speed at the very least. Now there is always the rule when buying a new broadband, you wont always get the "up to" speed. For example buying broadband with upto 70mbps, you will most likely get 50-60mbps I believe. So is the trick to getting faster internet basically pay more and the upto speed increases? For example should I get broadband upto 100mbps so I can be sure I will obviously get over 25mbps despite the extra payment and I obviously do not need 100mbps. Or can specific areas handle only a certain amount of speed?
Can I get good internet speed despite area with terrible connection?

If you "live in an area where the connection is generally bad" I wouldn't think that the providers would offer 100Mbit service because there would be too many subscribers complaining about paying for service they can't get. To be sure of 4K streaming, I would look for 30 to 50Mbit service. Use a wired connection to the TV.
Ok so this is confusing for me. I just checked the deals available in my area by typing my post code in. So a bunch of broadband deals came up and I found the best one at 78mbps. However on the top of the page it says estimated line speed is 13mbps. What does this mean? Can I not get this 78mbps deal. To me it says my area can only handle 13mbps but the 78mbps deal is apart of my area? Very contradicting. Any thoughts?
