Headroom covers Wi-Fi overhead and the dips every connection has at busy times: 25% for good Wi-Fi or cable, 50% for average Wi-Fi and 80% for weak Wi-Fi. Game and app downloads use whatever is spare, so they are not counted; schedule them overnight if they cause buffering. For more on what each quality needs, see our internet speed guide.
