How Much Speed Do You Need?

The quality of your online experience depends on your internet speed – or lack thereof. No one wants to be left hanging while a streaming movie buffers at the height of the action. But how much speed is enough? And how can you be sure you’re not paying for speed you don’t need?

Consider this:

1. How many internet users are in your household?
2. How many internet-enabled devices will be used at the same time?
3. How often will multiple devices need to access the internet each day?

The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Broadband Speed Guide provides a standard reference for the download speeds needed for certain online activities. According to the guide, activities like browsing the internet, checking email, streaming music, checking social media or conducting a video call like Skype or FaceTime requires about 1Mbps per device. If you’re working from home or doing online school, that will generally require about 25Mbps per device. Downloading files like photos and documents generally uses around 10Mbps per device.

Most households today need a download speed of at least 25Mbps. This is typically the minimum for one or two people to use the internet for checking email and browsing social media or websites, streaming TV shows or movies, and even some online gaming. Households with multiple users who have smartphones, computers and internet TV downloading videos and playing games online all at the same time will want a download speed of at least 50Mpbs. Keep in mind that this is a minimum and many households will want faster speeds to accommodate large files and smoother streaming.
