4+ kids in a family is pretty common in Bountiful. Some I know have more than twice that (my own is >4). During COVID everyone would be in calls at the same time (school for kids, work for parent(s)). People are back in person now but we still have snow days occasionally.

So yeah, 20 Mbps up can really suck, especially when you realize the advertised speeds are only "up to."

4+ kids?! They don't call it Bountiful for nothing.

There are a lot of Mormons in Utah, and Mormons have a lot of kids.

Surely 4+ people in simultaneous FHD calls is a corner case, no?

School online was video conferencing for each kid on their own devices.
