What internet speed do you need at home?

Want to know which internet speed is right for you? It all depends on your habits: what you do online, how many devices are connected and how many people use the internet at the same time. Your installation address, your network and your plan also influence the speeds you can reach.

How to estimate your internet needs

On average, you need 30 Mbps download speed and 5 Mbps upload speed per online activity. The more activities you do at the same time, the higher the speed you need.

Do you mainly use the internet to send emails or look up information? BASE limited Internet is made for you. Do you stream, work from home or have several people using the internet at home? Go for BASE unlimited Internet. For more intensive use, choose BASE unlimited+ Internet.

Once you know how you use the internet, you can choose the BASE Internet plan that suits you best.

  • Rayan lives alone and mainly uses the internet to browse, send emails, look up information and make a few video calls for work. BASE limited Internet can be enough for him.
  • Léa often works from home. While she’s on a video call, her daughter Marie watches BASE TV and her son Elias plays online. Because several activities are happening at the same time, BASE unlimited Internet is a better fit.
  • Magali and Sami use the internet intensively: working from home, streaming, online gaming, downloading large files and using several connected smartphones at the same time. For this type of use, BASE unlimited+ Internet gives them more comfort.

Good to know

It depends on factors such as your installation, your device and your environment. Want to measure your actual speed or improve it? Visit our dedicated page.
