Factors to consider before chosing a Fast Internet Plan

Freedom of choice is a basic human right and an important part of our way of life. And choosing a fast internet plan to suit your home or business needs is quickly becoming a strategic lifestyle consideration. Incredibly, the average person makes around 35,000 decisions a day. Brain strategies in making these daily choices differ from person to person, but the innate motivation is to create an optimal and personalized outcome for each individual.

3 Factors to consider before choosing an Internet Plan

‍

The size of your household or business and your various devices and activities will determine your internet speed. A larger household and the number of heavy internet activities will require a faster speed.

‍

• Double up: The up-front advertised speeds of an ISP are usually through a fixed fiber connection. It is worth noting that these speeds can drop by about 40-50% during peak periods and are also affected by your Wi-Fi devices and configuration.
  
  Choosing a wireless ‘HiFi internet’ package that offers faster internet speed than the minimum you think will help to mitigate some of these frustrations. 
  
  

• Divide and conquer: The minimum recommended speed is for a single heavy user (or 2-3 concurrent users), but most homes and small businesses have multiple devices that require high-speed internet for video calling, gaming, and streaming purposes (i.e. If you have a 100 Mbps connection but two devices operate concurrently, that bandwidth will be split among the devices, with each device getting speeds up to 50 Mbps, depending on the application).
  ‍
• ‍‍Do the math: With internet speeds typically shared among multiple users and devices, a basic rule of thumb is to allocate 20Mbps to each device that is likely to be used at the same time, e.g. smartphone scrolling + streaming Netflix + video calling + online gaming (taking into account usage patterns of individuals/devices) Get that calculator in, to factor in the combined Mbps guzzle speed for an effective fast internet plan in your home
