Going to have to go with Comcast and was wondering if that's fast enough. My condo has free wifi so I'll use that for my phone and tablet but it's way to slow for streaming and gaming. Wanted to get the bundle with HBO and 39.99 sounded like a good deal.

This is the speed I have for ATT Uverse and I've never had issues with gaming/streaming. Though I try to have a direct connection to the devices I'm gaming with (i.e., to my PC and PS4).

Gaming really uses very little bandwidth.

Downloading and streaming are what eats bandwidth

It is more than enough. There was a while where I had a faulty Ethernet cable that dropped our speed down to below 10, and it still worked fine 80% of the time.

Once I wised up and checked it, I got back up to the 25-26 range and it never has an issue.
