We have all had this problem, we have a company who provides us internet they say to you we can offer you 500mb on your download speed. You think wow that is fast no more buffering or lagging right? maybe but have you heard about a thing called upload speed? Let me explain how upload speed matters the most.
Yes, upload speed is important for certain activities, such as:
- Video streaming. If you are streaming video to a service like Twitch or YouTube, you will need a good upload speed in order to maintain a smooth stream.
- File sharing. If you are uploading large files to a cloud storage service, you will need a good upload speed in order to do so quickly.
- Video calling. If you are using a video calling service like Zoom or Skype, you will need a good upload speed in order to maintain a clear and smooth video call.
- Gaming. Some games require a good upload speed in order to play multiplayer games smoothly.
Generally speaking, you will need an upload speed of at least 5 Mb for basic activities, such as browsing the web and checking email. However, if you plan on doing any of the activities listed above, you will need a faster upload speed.
