The broadband speed your business needs depends on how many people use it and what they do. Here is a guide:
1-5 employees (basic use): 30-80 Mbps
Sufficient for email, web browsing, and occasional video calls.
5-20 employees (moderate use): 100-300 Mbps
Good for multiple simultaneous video calls, cloud applications, and file sharing.
20-50 employees (heavy use): 300 Mbps – 1 Gbps
Required for large teams using cloud-based software, video conferencing, and data-heavy applications simultaneously.
50+ employees or data-intensive: 1 Gbps+ (leased line)
Dedicated uncontended bandwidth with guaranteed speeds and an SLA.
Key factors that increase your speed requirements:
- Video conferencing (each call uses 2-4 Mbps)
- Cloud-based CRM, accounting, or ERP systems
- VoIP phone systems
- Large file uploads and downloads
- Multiple office locations connected via VPN
