Common Questions

What speed would I need?
The speeds you would need depend upon what applications/programs you are about to use online.

1. To browse, receive emails, stream music and download small files, you would need 1Mbps – 2Mbps connection. DSL/cable/mobile broadband can be used.
2. To view standard video online without buffering, you should have faster download speeds in the range of speeds 2Mbps – 4Mbps. DSL and cable broadband are suitable
3. You would need very fast connection with actual speed of 8Mbps+ for large file/movie downloads, streaming high definition videos and real-time online gaming. Fibre optic broadband is ideal for these applications. Faster ADSL 2+ and cable are also fine.
4. If you need to upload large data and files, make sure that you get faster upload speeds too, because most connections come with upload speeds much slower than download speeds.

(Note: Advertised broadband speeds come with pre-fix ‘up to’. This means, the actual speed you receive will be much lower than this speed. For instance, ‘up to 14Mbps’ ADSL 2+ connection could offer just 7 – 8Mbps to users who live within 5 km from the exchange.)

Download time for applications

Speed	1Mp3	30 minutes standard video	A DVD movie
4Mbps	16 seconds	18 minutes	2 hours 40 minutes
16Mbps	4 seconds	10 minutes	40 minutes
40Mbps	2 seconds	4 minutes	15 minutes

How much data would I need a month?

Light users who occasionally download or stream/download videos, would need 10GB or more. 40GB is safe if you use internet daily for browsing, Youtube and occasional film downloads. If you frequently download large files, stream/download movies or share connection with others in your family/office, 100GB + usage or unlimited plan is ideal.

User type	Emails per day	Mp3’s per week	Video clips per week	Online gaming per week	Usage needed per month
Light user	30	20	15	3 hours	Minimum 10GB
Regular user	60	30	15	15 hours	30GB – 50GB
Heavy user	100+	60	60	30+ hours	100GB or Unlimited
