Upload speed requirements

[shooter69]

Hi,

I am currently busy ordering Fiber from CoolIdeas and see they have a bunch of different packages.

So my requirements are :
1 x Gaming pc running games
1 x media center streaming content(want to stream in 1080p)
2 x cell phones(not doing much)

Would you guys recommend 10/5 speeds or 10/10?(Download/upload).

What would be the reason to increase upload speeds? Is the necessary for viewing Full HD content or will 5mb upload do the trick just fine?

5Mbps would be fine on the Upload side of things if most of your traffic is downstream, but if your Upload were to be saturated for whatever reason it does have an adverse effect on the downstream as well. Just go with the cheaper and upgrade if you need to basically .

IF you start deciding moving all your Data Cloud base and like to upload family Videos the Upload speed will need to be looked at. For normal Home use 5mb is more than enough.

I'm on DSL my upload speed is 512kb.

The upload speed comes in when you want to start doing cloud backups, or uploading lots of content such as video.

In terms of native TCP, when my line is pulling down 100mb/sec I see about 4mb/sec of upload, so 5mb is fine.
