For a single HD video call, 3-4 Mbps download and upload is sufficient – any NBN plan handles this. The challenge is when multiple people are on calls simultaneously, or when you’re on a call while others stream or download. For a household with regular video calls, we recommend 50/20 Mbps minimum, or 100/20 Mbps for multiple concurrent calls.

Video quality issues are usually caused by: (1) insufficient upload speed (your video going out), (2) network congestion from other household activities, or (3) Wi-Fi interference. First, try moving closer to your router or using ethernet. If problems persist, upgrading your plan provides more bandwidth headroom.

Yes, but it requires adequate bandwidth. Two HD video calls need roughly 8 Mbps up and down. Go Quick (50/20) handles this with room to spare. For two calls plus kids streaming or downloading, Go Mega (100/20) is more comfortable. Add screen sharing and the bandwidth needs increase further.

Yes, screen sharing adds bandwidth requirements, especially for high-resolution screens or content with lots of motion. Presenting slides is lighter than sharing video or fast-moving content. For regular screen sharing in meetings, we recommend 50/20 Mbps or higher.

Joining large meetings as a participant is straightforward – you’re mostly receiving video, not sending. Hosting webinars is more demanding. If you host webinars professionally, consider 100/20 Mbps or higher for reliability. The last thing you want is your connection dropping during your presentation.

A good webcam and microphone matter more than extremely high internet speeds. However, all that quality is wasted if your upload speed can’t transmit it. 50/20 Mbps transmits HD quality well. For 4K or professional streaming setups, higher upload speeds become important.
