It is true that the pandemic has meant that we can do everything from home as long as we have a stable connection. This leads us to review the plans of the operators and how many megabytes we need to work, study or play online. Sometimes we make the mistake of paying Internet too much, so we come to explain several technical details regarding what you need.
Los studentsFor example, they need to upload and download files that can be heavy, watch series or movies on digital platforms, constantly search for information or attend virtual meetings. As it is, 75 Mbps is enough, even if you are not the only one connected to the internet at home.
“An investment in good connectivity is not only essential for the study, but for the performance of all the devices in the home. It is important to consider new technologies such as fiber optics, which offer high speeds and a more stable connection, in addition to other benefits. A plan with unlimited downloads is adequate”says Rodrigo Arosemena, general manager of WOW Peru, according to Andina.
Influencers and remote workers are another story. If you work from home or are a youtuber, tiktoker or influencer, it is necessary that you have a good internet speed and excellent stability since any inconvenience can be counterproductive for your work or personal brand. Therefore, it is recommended to contract at least 100 Mbps to avoid setbacks.
For this profile it is essential to have symmetrical velocity. That is, both for downloading files and for uploading information, mainly for live broadcasts or online meetings. In this case, fiber optic internet is the most recommended.
Consumption by videogames
Third, there are the gamers. One of the activities with the highest demand for a stable Internet connection is video games, especially if you are a professional gamer. “High upload speed, high connection speed and low internet ping are essential to optimize the gaming experience with great audio and image quality”Arosemena explained.
While some games consume between 50 and 100 MB, others can reach 300 MB. In order not to have problems during the game and transmission, it is recommended to double the speed number required by the video game. That is, 200 Mbps or 500 Mbps in the second case.
Whether for study, work or entertainment, it is advised opt for 100% fiber optic Internet, which is much faster than traditional connection types and processes more information in less time. In addition, it prevents interference, offers greater network security and better video and sound quality.
