IPTV Bandwidth Calculator: How Many Mbps Do You Need?

How many screens will stream at once?

You need about0Mbps
Suggested NBN planNBN 25

How it works

Add the streams you expect at the same time, choose how much spare capacity your household needs and the calculator adds it up. It then picks the smallest common NBN plan that covers the total. Always check your provider\’s typical evening speed, because that is what you get when you are actually watching.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the calculator?

It gives a planning estimate using typical speeds per stream (SD 3, HD 5, Full HD 8, 4K 25 Mbps) plus the headroom you choose. Real streams vary, so treat it as a guide.

Why does it add headroom?

Other devices in your home also use the internet, and a stream needs spare capacity to stay smooth at peak times.

Which NBN plan should I pick?

Choose the plan whose typical evening speed is above the number the calculator shows. Check the typical evening speed your provider publishes.
