How can I decide how much speed I need?

The answer depends on a few factors:

• Activities — How much activity do you anticipate to have? With more data going back and forth, the more speed you’ll need. For instance, if it’s just simple internet browsing, social media use, and emails, you’ll need low to medium speed. But if it involves streaming, cloud use, and video conferences, then you need medium to high speed.
• Number of users — More employees, whether you have them now or planning to hire more in the future, means you’ll need more bandwidth. Without enough to work with, the entire office may be put to a grinding halt when someone is on a video conference or one employee needs to upload huge file sizes.
• Number of devices — With more devices also comes the need for more speed. You should count every device that will connect to the internet, not just laptops and desktops, including phones, tablets, etc.
