    Map your peak data consumption, that will give you an idea as to whether or not you’d benefit from a package upgrade and what would best suit your needs. Still, I live in a house with 2 PC’s, multiple phones and a chrome cast - I have a 100/50 plan and have never noticed there being an issue when most devices are sharing the network load and even on an older wifi 5 device. You’d really need to be using all devices at the same time and hitting the connection with high data content like streaming services using 4k, 1080 60fps youtube or twitch etc all at the same time.

    If you’re concerned about whether or not your devices are able to make the best use of the plan you have, you might do better in the short term to look at your wifi router and LAN/WLAN setup to make sure all devices are able to get access properly, that the wifi router isn’t struggling due to lesser hardware capabilities etc.
