Enter your details

Enter your details and calculate.

All defaults are editable planning assumptions. Use actual product specifications and site conditions where possible.

How the estimate works

Add simultaneous stream and call bitrates for download; add calls and other uploads for upload. Apply the editable additional allowance to both. The 25 Mbps stream default is a cautious 4K planning value; providers differ and it can be changed.

Where product limits or site conditions matter, confirm them against the exact model and installation before buying.

Understanding your result

The result adds the simultaneous activities entered and an allowance. It describes a planning throughput, while latency, packet loss and Wi-Fi coverage can still make a fast plan feel poor.

Choosing the right equipment

Compare the estimate with the download and upload rates of plans available at your address. Test by Ethernet first to separate provider speed from local Wi-Fi performance, then improve coverage where needed.
