For instance, a lot of us are doing Zoom conference calls and meetings now. If, like most people in business, they expect to see a video feed of you in the meeting to connect with your team, you share your webcam or camera to the rest of your team. Typical webcam of regular HD stream requires a few Mbps upload speed to look OK. And full HD, I’m more comfortable at 8Mbps to 12 Mbps. If two people need to be on a conference call in the house, and your uplink speed is only 4 (yes, that’s my uplink speed) – one or both of you are going to suffer, especially with other people in the house using the internet.
There might even be call drop-offs where you can’t hear them, or they can’t hear you. And its all because your internet uplink speed doesn’t meet the cut.
