How Much Broadband Speed Do I Need?

The right broadband speed depends on people, devices and how you use the internet.

For one person

For browsing, email and occasional HD streaming, 25 Mbps can be enough. If you download large files or stream 4K video, more speed helps.

For families and shared homes

Busy households often benefit from 100 Mbps or more, especially if several people stream, game, work or use video calls at the same time.

Gaming and video calls

Gaming needs low ping and low jitter more than huge download speed. Video calls need reliable upload speed as well as download speed.
