Internet Usage & Upload Calculator

Use Upload to recommend upload speed based on Teams / Zoom / VoIP / EDR (and connection type), and Usage for monthly data estimates.

Upload Calculator

Select the upload-heavy services the customer uses. This recommends a minimum practical upload speed, with extra headroom on cable/asymmetrical connections.

Recommendation: 0 Mbps
—
Microsoft Teams
Video meetings, screen share, file sync. Upload matters.
Zoom
Video conferencing. Often the highest steady upload need.
VoIP Phones
Steady upstream traffic + jitter sensitivity (especially on cable).
EDR / Security Agent
Background telemetry, alerts, and occasional uploads.
Note: If you want a more precise recommendation, we can add “# of concurrent users/calls” per service.

How upload is calculated

Each selection adds a baseline upload requirement. Then we apply headroom: Fiber: minimal headroom, Cable/Asym: extra headroom to avoid upstream saturation.

Package fit

You can map Mbps to your package names/tier buttons later.

Tip: round up to the nearest offered tier (e.g., 10/20/35/50 Mbps upload).

Input basis

Set whether the sliders represent per-day or per-month activity.

Per day inputs are multiplied by ~30 to estimate monthly total.

Estimates only. Upload recommendation is based on selected use-cases (Teams/Zoom/VoIP/EDR) and connection type.

Usage assumptions
Web: 18 MB/hr · Email: 0.02 MB/email · Social: 51 MB/hr · Music: 6.5 MB/hr
Usage assumptions
Video: 0.75 GB/hr (SD) or 2 GB/hr (HD) · Photos: 5 MB/photo · Video Chat: 0.34 GB/hr · Gaming: 20 MB/hr
Conversion
1 GB = 1024 MB
Upload sizing
Teams/Zoom/VoIP/EDR add upload “load”. Cable/asym gets extra headroom.
