“If we purchase a Smart TV, its capabilities may be wasted on the mere 3 Mbps DL speeds my rural household receives. YouTube vids are smooth on our computer now, but what would this TV demand in DL/UL speeds with several other devices vying for home Wi-Fi?”

• This is one of those "your mileage may vary" answer. I used to have fairly slow DSL in my home and could stream Netflix at 720p okay wirelessly, but how much bandwidth is being shared with how many devices may be more important than your actual download speed.

• Hi SmartTVCurious! Typically, 3 Mbps is enough to stream HD content, along with basic web surfing from another device. If you are streaming multiple videos, however, you could experience some lag. The demands of streaming can vary from service to service.
