Bewildered_Bob I would start with doing an Ookla speed test and see what your upload/download speed is through your network.
THANX - GREAT SUGGESTION !! Current download speed is 22.6 MPS. Hopefully there will be little or no degradation.

Bewildered_Bob Out of curiosity, I'm wondering what type of connection you're paying for since 22 mbps is like the ancient 'dial ups' of yesteryear. I'm in CA where Xfinity has the cable monopoly and get nearly 500 mbps for $35/month.
Be advised that the servers that calculate Roku speeds aren't reliable. If you're using WiFi I suggest you install WiFi Analyzer for Android or something similar if you own an iPhone. Open the app and take note of how many others use the same channel/band, then log into the router, disable 'auto' from channel selection and choose one with less congestion

You're getting your units confused. Dial-up peaked at around 1/1000th of that speed - around 25Kbps. And I used to think that was pretty good speed since I had started at 110bps (which is 0.1Kbps or 0.0001Mbps.)
