For 1080p streaming to Twitch/YouTube, you need reliable 6-8 Mbps upload. For 1080p60, aim for 10-12 Mbps. For 4K streaming, you need 25-35 Mbps upload. Standard NBN plans (like 100/20) have 20 Mbps upload which handles 1080p well. For 4K or multi-platform streaming, our Go More plans with higher uploads (100-400 Mbps) are ideal.

A 10GB video (typical for a 20-30 minute 4K edit) takes about 1.5 hours on 20 Mbps upload, 15 minutes on 100 Mbps upload, and under 5 minutes on 400 Mbps upload. If you publish regularly, the time saved with higher upload speeds is significant. Our Ultra Go More (1000/400) is built for serious creators.

On standard plans, live streaming can consume most of your upload bandwidth, potentially affecting others’ video calls or uploads. With our Go More plans (250/100 or higher), you have enough upload bandwidth to stream at high quality while the household continues normally. This is why upload speed matters for creators.

RAW footage and project files add up quickly. Backing up 50GB of footage takes 6+ hours on 20 Mbps upload, but under an hour on 100 Mbps upload. If you’re running overnight backups to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Backblaze, higher upload speeds mean faster protection of your work.

Yes, NBN provides consistent, reliable connectivity suitable for scheduled broadcasts. The key is having enough upload bandwidth headroom so you’re not maxing out your connection. If your stream needs 8 Mbps, having 20 Mbps available (like Go Mega) gives you buffer. Having 100 Mbps (like Troppo Go More) gives you certainty.

For serious creators, we recommend Troppo Go More (250/100) as the starting point, or Mega Go More (500/200) if you do 4K work. The higher upload speeds transform your workflow – faster uploads, reliable streaming, and cloud backups that don’t take all night.
