Two things you can't skimp on:

- good coffee
- good internet

Prices and service options vary so widely from region to region. But you're 
definitely looking to get as much upload and download speed as you can afford.

Upload is definitely important - but so is low latency and stability. Latency 
is basically how responsive the network is, measured in milliseconds. You can 
have all of the bandwidth but latency impacts things that many people rely on 
these days, like streaming and live video calls as well as remote connections 
to servers and VPNs.

Low latency is almost more important than bandwidth for a lot of uses (though 
they are related).

For example, we've struggled over the years with Comcast - even when they 
provide lots of bandwidth our latency would range from 40-100ms. We recently 
switched to a new local ISP and our latency is solidly 8-10ms. The difference 
is huge.

For wifi and networking gear, Unifi from Ubiquity is hands down the best. 
Others swear by Meraki and Cisco, which have HUGE annual service contracts 
required. Unifi is as powerful (or more, in my experience) and without the 
annual contracts.
