How much internet speed do you need?

The internet speed that you need depends for what you majorly use the internet for and on how many devices. You might need it for your full-time office meetings, or to upload videos for your business on social media, or for gaming or for just browsing content.

If you want to watch a live streaming video the minimum bandwidth that you would require would be around 200 Mbps. For uploading videos on youtube a minimum speed of 100 Mbps is required. For your office video conferencing around 15 Mbps, for gaming or streaming music you would need 10 Mbps. For browsing the internet a speed of 5 Mbps would be enough.
