Looking to upgrade from 500mb to 1GB service.

So I am looking to upgrade from the 500mb service to 1GB service. Its more for streaming/downloading as if someone is streaming 4K and then another person is downloading something for example a game on PC, it slows down the 4K streaming video.

What is the best way to get a good price for the 1GB service?
 
A 4K stream does not require 500Mbps, more like 25-40Mbps depending on bitrate. You ought to see if you can implement QoS on your router to ensure downloading is given lower priority on your network. Conversely, if the computer can download at 1Gbps, then you won't solve your problem.
 
Not all routers have QoS, Not exactly sure about Community Fibre but if you're downloading on PC from the likes of Steam you can set download throttle here, I think Epic launcher etc all have similar option

Be careful as the original 500mbps package came with non-CGNAT and upon upgrading to 1gbps you will be automatically placed onto CGNAT. So if it were myself I would remain on the 500mbps for as long as possible.

Oh I see, what is CGNAT and why is it not good to be on it?
