Is it worth changing from superfast to superfast 35

I'm thinking of changing to superfast 35, when reading about it it says it's not suitable for a lot of connected devices at the same time.

I have 3 Alexa's, 2 mobiles, a ring doorbell and the TV, will this be too many for it to work effectively?

It depends how much you use these devices and for what purpose. 

Superfast 35 is good for around 2, maybe 3 simultaneous HD streams if you have a few people living in the household all doing their own thing It may become a bottleneck

Also worth considering how the client devices are connecting: for WiFi you need to factor in the additional drop in speed over a wireless link which is starting from a low speed to begin with.

Bandwidth use of audio-only (such as Echo) is pretty negligible, but a television streaming UHD could use most of a 35Mbs connection by itself.
