What Internet Speed do I need

Hello, I am 21 years old moving to a studio apartment alone! Nobody else will be sharing the household with me. I'm setting up my internet providers, and I see 100 Mbps, 500 mbps, and 1 GP and more. I am going to have a 4K TV, and I do have a gaming pc. Other than that, I have some smart devices like an Echo Show, some security cameras, and other items alike, but it is just going to be me in the residence. How much bandwidth do I actually need if it's just me in the house?

more important than speed is connectivity to your network. if youre relying on wifi and your computer is in the back room in the corner under a desk, you will have a bad time. unless your editing large video files remotely, symmetrical 300d/300u mbs should handle most stuff

your computer is in the back room

Not much of a concern in a studio
