 F.A.Q.

What is a Fast Internet Speed?

By most definitions, anything above 100 Mbps is considered “fast.” Once you start getting close to 1000 Mbps, the internet plan is called a “gigabit” service.

If you’re wondering why anyone would ever need a 1000+ Mbps download or upload speed, the answer is pretty simple: most of us don’t (though that may change in the future). That said, these sorts of speeds may be worth it for techies, gamers, streamers, and large households.

What is the Difference Between Upload and Download Speed?

If you don’t know the difference between upload and download speeds, here is a simple breakdown:

  • Download speed: how quickly your Internet connection can retrieve data from the Internet (web pages, video, photos, etc.)
  • Upload speed: how quickly your Internet connection can send data from your devices up to the Internet (uploading video to YouTube, sending documents via email, etc.)

When you see the advertised speed of an internet plan, what you usually see is the download speed. Frequently, the upload speed isn’t visible at first, or it appears in a much smaller size at the bottom.

Download speed is much more important for the average user since you only notice upload speed when trying to share large files. It is normal for your upload speed to be around one-tenth your download speed. However, fiber internet users often have symmetrical (or identical) download and upload speeds.

How Much Internet Speed Do I Need for Streaming Video?

The following are the standards each streaming service requires on its site.  Please refer to the streaming service provider if you are having issues with streaming video.

Netflix Recommended megabits per second

  • Broadband connection: 1.5Mbps
    Minimum: 0.5Mbps
  • Standard definition (SD) 3Mbps
  • High definition (HD) 5Mbps
  • 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) 25 Mbps

Prime Video

  • Recommends a minimum download speed of 1MB/s for SD content and 5MB/s for HD content. Prime Video will serve the highest quality streaming experience possible based on the bandwidth speed available.

HULU

Video is available across platforms in a range of different video qualities, which will adjust based on your internet speed and the device in-use, to provide you with the best stream possible.

For a consistent, quality viewing experience, we recommend that your internet connection is capable of achieving at least the following sustained download speeds:*

  • 3.0 Mbps for HULU’s Streaming Library
  • 8.0 Mbps for live streams
  • 16.0 Mbps for 4K content
    *Viewers may be able to stream at a reduced video quality with 1.5 Mbps.

Please keep in mind that watching multiple videos or using the internet for other activities may require additional bandwidth.

How can I calculate My Upload and Download Speed?

If you already have an existing service but aren’t sure how fast it actually is, you can find out using our speed test tool.

Essentially, this service works by sending test samples of data to various remote servers, the same way you would when browsing the web.

We then display the average upload and download speeds of those individual pieces of data, allowing you to get a good idea of what you’re working with.

Mbps vs Gbps: What's the Difference?

Internet speeds are measured in “Megabits per second,” often abbreviated as “Mbps.” These commonly range anywhere from 1 Mbps up to 1000+ Mbps.

  • One Mbps: one Megabit per second
  • One Gbps: one Gigabit per second, or one thousand Megabits. (1 Gbps is the maximum for most home Internet plans, so you will often see fiber providers advertise “gigabit service” or “gig speed.”)

An average mp3 song in your iTunes ranges from 3 to 5 megabytes, whereas a 4K movie or tv show can be several gigabytes, so it’s important to gauge the types of speeds you’ll need accordingly.

How Much Internet Speed Do I Need for Gaming?

Minimum internet speed requirements for gaming are usually 4-8 Mbps if nobody else in the house is using up your bandwidth. Unfortunately, slower internet plans such as these may not give you the upload speed you need for a consistently good experience.

If you are the only one at home, a 250 Mbps internet plan is recommended for smooth gaming. However, speed isn’t the only thing that maters in gaming: ping and latency play a role as well.
