The internet’s got two speeds that keep everything moving: download speed and upload speed. Download speed is all about how quickly data comes to you from the internet. When you’re streaming videos, installing games, browsing social media, or opening files and attachments, you’re downloading. Upload speed is about sending things from your device to the internet. Need to share a video on YouTube? Post something on Instagram? Send files or attachments? That’s where your upload speed comes in.
In fact, many of the things you do online use both download and upload speeds, whether you’re working from home, gaming, or doing video calls. A good balance of both ensures everything works smoothly.
Why this matters?
Most broadband providers only give you fast-ish download speeds and slow upload speeds. But here’s the thing—remote work, video calls with the fam, and epic gaming marathons mean we’re all relying on upload power more than ever. With Balanced Broadband, you can enjoy the same fast upload and download speeds for just £5 a month. So you and all your household can stream as much stuff as you share. (Which can be lots and lots.).
