Alix Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hi wanting some advice hope you don't mind me posting as it's not about netduma just want some techi advice iam moving internet providers offering 50mbps download and 50mbps upload it was a great offer they are offering. Just wanted to know if upload speed is important too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2023 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2023 It's definitely important but less so than download which is why it's rare to see an ISP provide the same upload speed as the download. 50 Mbps is plenty for whatever you may want to do.

Alix Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 I was going to ask them to take 30mbps off the upload and put it on the download leaving 20mbps upload will 20mbps be a enough upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 @AlixUpload is more crucial for like VOIP services if you can get 100mbs and 20 upload that the sweet spot though it is without a doubt extremely rare unless your in a country with fiber speeds and don't have to spend a fortune to get higher uploads than 40 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alix Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hi @DARKNESSIam getting 50mbps download and 50mbps upload full fibre but wasn't sure if upload was important for gaming but Fraser as helped. I was going to ask my new ISP to take 30mbps off the upload and put it on the download leaving 20mbps upload. This would mean my new connection wouldn't be 50mbps download and 50mbps upload it would be 80mbps download and 20mbps upload instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends on your line and whether it's even capable of 80Mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alix Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 @Netduma Fraserthey was offering 1000mbps download and upload so I think it would be capable 80mbps but like you say they might not change plans they are offering would be sweet. Plus with my new ISP I get a WiFi 6 router hopefully it will work with netduma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably try and shift you towards the higher speed/higher price plan but you never know, don't ask don't get! Yeah it'll work, just connect it up to the new router and you'll be good to go.

Alix Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 @Netduma FraserJust read online that low upload speed you will lag on games do you think 20mbps upload be enough to stop me from lagging just going to ring ISP up to see what they say.
