    Hi,

    I plain to host my media site which all about music, video, movie and wallpapers.
    Can any one tell me what internet speed should I choose to make it easy while I upload and load video.

    I talk to supplier in my country they recommend me the high speed one and sure it is very expensive. Or if I choose speed of download 256kbs and upload 128kbs.

    Please show me I know you are the best to share me idea.

    Good luck

    9 years ago I was on 128kbps, too. And that was the highest but one package available in our area at that time.
    I remember how fast it seemed but then I can't imagine myself surfing and working at that speed today, that would be a nerve killer I'm sure. What other options have you got?

    Who are your target users? People using computers or mobile phones to access your service?
    If it's computers, the fastest that you can afford.
    If it's mobile phones, check to see what max speed they can receive, then match that.

    Yes...I'm agree with VSC.
    If your target users are using computers then you have to get as much as you can.

    Locate the networking device that you are using to connect to the Internet under "Adapter name." It should list a network utilization percentage and a link speed for that connection.
