Megabytes per second (Mbps) can be confusing. How much do you need? Do different streaming applications need a different bandwidth? If you aren’t very tech savvy, these questions can be daunting and while looking at several different internet packages, you may not know the best one that suits your needs. Anthem Broadband can help you decipher what speeds and packages would help your family most.
Typically, it is stated that every 5 Mbps of speed translates into one high definition (HD) video. If you have a 15 Mbps plan, it generally means that you can stream 3 HD videos at once. Although every streaming third-party application has its own specific requirements, the team at Anthem Broadband can help you chose the plan that works best for your family and needs.
