Understanding Your Bandwidth Needs

Streaming & Video

4K streaming is the most demanding activity, using up to 25 Mbps per stream. HD streaming is more manageable at 5 Mbps. At Calculator Site, we help you account for all your devices.

Online Gaming

While gaming itself doesn't use much bandwidth (around 3-5 Mbps), a stable, low-latency connection is vital. Game downloads, however, can be huge and will benefit from higher speeds.

Multiple Users

The biggest factor is how many people use the internet at once. Our calculator adds up the needs of each user to give you a total, ensuring your connection can handle the peak load.
