Most people have experienced slow internet and know that they don\u2019t want to experience it again. Slow internet even has the potential to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2016-03-16-slow-internet-stress.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">double stress levels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is genuinely bad for your health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to avoid dealing with slow internet is by using good internet speeds. This also means understanding what makes up good internet speeds, so you can know what to look for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, you need to know why good download and good upload speeds matter. Then, you can learn exactly what speeds you need. This article will cover all of this information, plus a little more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/what-is-a-good-internet-speed\/\"><b>What is a Good Internet Speed? Beginner\u2019s Guide<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Goes_Into_Internet_Speeds\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Goes Into Internet Speeds?\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good internet speed comes from two different factors: <\/span><b>download speed and upload speed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The speed of each has a different impact on how online interactions function.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet speeds are an expression of how much data is flowing and are measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Faster speeds can handle more data, while slower speeds handle less.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have heard the term \u201cbroadband internet\u201d associated with internet speeds that were particularly fast. A while ago, this was true but now, it isn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broadband internet speeds are considered too slow for most modern users. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/crtc.gc.ca\/eng\/internet\/performance.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRTC has set minimum speeds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they want available to all Canadians. This is at least 50 Mbps for download speeds and 10 Mbps for upload speeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_Download_Speed_Matter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Does Download Speed Matter?\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download speeds are necessary whenever your computer, phone, or other device gets information from the internet. This is required to pull up a webpage, view an email, stream a video, and do plenty of other activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these activities require different amounts of data and, thus, will load at different speeds. Pulling up an email or viewing a webpage doesn\u2019t usually require much data. Meanwhile, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/best-internet-plans-for-streaming\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">streaming videos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, downloading files, or playing online games requires more data. Activities that require more data require higher speeds to function well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most people, download speed is <\/span><b>slightly more important<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than upload speed. If you\u2019re on a website about to watch a video, you click to select the video you want to watch, and it starts playing. When you click, your computer uploads information that tells the site what you clicked. However, in response, the website needs to stream the entire video to your computer, which involves a lot of downloading information, often over an extended period. When streaming a movie, a single moment of upload can lead to hours of downloading. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5378&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_A_Good_Download_Speed\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is A Good Download Speed?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The minimum download speed required to get most tasks done comfortably comes in at around 10 Mbps per person. Good download speeds range between <\/span><b>10 Mbps and 25 Mbps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> per person. Where each individual falls in this spectrum depends on what they need from the internet and what they do with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are just using the internet for web browsing or email, you don\u2019t need very fast download speeds. In this case, 10 Mbps should suit you fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you use the internet for more, you will require faster speeds. Doing things like watching videos on YouTube, streaming on services like Netflix, participating in a video call, or even just more video-intensive internet browsing will leave you wanting more from your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/slow-internet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slow internet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In these cases, you\u2019ll find that your experience is lessened by internet speeds of 10 Mbps and will work better with internet speeds of around 25 Mbps instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are even cases where higher speeds are necessary. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/soundandpicture.com\/2018\/04\/file-size-growth-the-bandwidth-conundrum\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4K file sizes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are massive, and because of this, streaming 4K video is often difficult. Watching 4K video can require speeds of around 100 Mbps to operate smoothly. An internet plan capable of handling online streaming may be necessary in this case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, the number of people on a network needs to be considered. If four people are streaming video at the same time, they won\u2019t be satisfied with 25 Mbps speeds. Instead, they will need speeds around 100 Mbps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Looking for high-speed internet that doesn\u2019t cost an arm and a leg? <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/en\/internet\/compare-plans\"><b><i>Compare our internet plans<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> and prices with no fixed-term contracts!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_Upload_Speed_Matter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Does Upload Speed Matter?\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upload speeds are most often used to interact with anything online. Whenever you click a page on a website or select a video on a streaming service, the site needs to know what you did in order to respond. So, your computer uploads small pieces of information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are also cases where larger pieces of information are uploaded. These are most common when uploading files or streaming video. People who regularly upload things for school or who <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/best-internet-speed-for-zoom\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">need to use Zoom<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for work will be affected by this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While upload speed is generally less important than download speed, it has become more important recently. People working from home or attending school online rely on upload speeds more often. This is because these individuals often need to place video calls, upload documents, or even upload large video files. So, good upload speeds matter more now than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/blog\/en\/how-to-increase-internet-speed\/\"><b>Proven Hacks to Increase Your Internet Speed Today<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_A_Good_Upload_Speed\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is A Good Upload Speed?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to good upload speeds, you want to aim for somewhere between <\/span><b>5 Mbps and 25 Mbps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> per person. Like download speeds, where you want to aim depends on how you use the internet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For very basic tasks, 5 Mbps is fine, and you can sometimes get away with less. If you are just browsing the internet and checking email, speeds of around 1.5 Mbps will be alright. Things may not load as fast as you want, so you still may want speeds around 5 Mbps, but 1.5 Mbps is manageable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, higher speeds are necessary for people who work from home, take online classes, or regularly stream video for any other reason. 25 Mbps will be suitable in most of these cases. However, some people, particularly online streamers who want a stable upload experience, still prefer to aim higher. In these cases, people opt for speeds around 50 Mbps to ensure a truly smooth online experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, good upload speeds depend on your situation. Someone living alone who never has to do video calls will probably be fine with 5 Mbps or less. Meanwhile, someone living in a 4-person household where two people work online may require speeds around or over 50 Mbps.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5377&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<b><i>Want unlimited high-speed internet that will support browsing, downloading, and everything in between?
