Looking to cut the cord and wanting to know would this be fast enough. Single so only one tv would be in use

Regular HD streaming is about 5mbps, but you're gonna have trouble with 4k content as it's 20-25mbps.

15 Mbps is fine for one person as long as you dont need to stream 4k HDR content. If you want 4k HDR, it will work OK 50% of the time and buffer/less image quality the other 50% of the time.
If you do 4k HDR streaming, really 25Mbps is a better minimum.

And I am upset I am not getting my 500/10 like advertised...

I survived just fine with only the occasional buffering with 8 mbps with 2 adults and 1 kid. Typically only one main TV and lots of mobile/iPad devices going.
It will be perfectly fine for non-4K streams.

FFS, I'm so old. I used to install ISDN and T-1s. (128k, 1.544 Mbps).
NO, it is not sufficient if you're going to stream, unless you only have one streaming device in the home for HD (not UHD/4k). I have 400Mbps at my 20 year old apartment. Your speed is awful.
I hope you live in the middle of nowhere like Angie, otherwise it's inexcusable.

15mbps is fine for upload speed…lol

No unless you only have 1 device connected to the entire network.
50 Mbps is the absolute lowest you should go if you live alone or with just one other person.

T mobile has 5g home internet for $25 a month right now. If it is in your area it is pretty quick but it can slow down at peak times. I get 90/3 at my house on my phone and it is suppose to be faster with their 5G home gateway.

Guy at work just got one for his camper and he is getting 118/28 at his campground. They are a legit option.

I watch this guy on YouTube pretty regularly, he has great content. He did a video on T-Mobile 5G home internet and adding a directional antenna kit to the device. He was getting 400/400 I think. Its been a while since I watched the video. The guy at the T-Mobile store evem told him it wasnt available in his area but it is a 30 day risk free deal so just return it if it doesn't work.

I just tried the T-Mobile home internet for 2 months and decided to switch back to comcast. T mobile was fine most of the time, but we did notice a lot of buffering during live sports. Also had a few occasions where it would just completely go out for a few minutes.
As much as I hate comcast as a company, they are just so fast and stable in my area

I had 24 mbs and when it worked like it was supposed to it was plenty. Problem was I wasn't getting 24 all the time. Sometimes it was real slow especially during peak periods. Got fiber now and no problems.
