| Upload Speed | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| 0 – 20 Mbps | Not suitable for professional live streaming |
| 20 – 40 Mbps | Marginal — low quality single stream only, no guarantee of stability under load |
| 40 – 60 Mbps | Likely adequate for a single HD stream under ideal conditions |
| 60 – 100 Mbps | Comfortable for high quality streaming with redundant paths and multiple destinations |
| 100 – 150 Mbps | Preferred for high quality productions with a margin for safety |
| 150 Mbps+ | Ideal — headroom for 4K, simultaneous multi-platform distribution, with a safety margin for in-house traffic |
Tested speeds rarely reflect real-world event conditions. A venue running at capacity can consume 40–60% of available bandwidth before your stream sees a single bit. When in doubt, we bring our own connection.
