When you choose a broadband plan, most people look at download speed first, because it affects how quickly you stream videos or load web pages. But upload speed is just as critical for everyday digital life. Upload speed measures how fast data travels from your home to the internet, which matters when you send content, make video calls, back up files, manage CCTV systems, and use cloud services.
Wildanet offers a spectrum of Full‑Fibre broadband packages with varying upload speeds designed to support different household needs, from casual browsing to high‑demand work and entertainment.
Why Upload Speed Matters
Upload speed affects many common tasks you rely on every day:
- Video calls & conferencing: Platforms like Zoom, Teams or FaceTime need adequate upload capacity to send your video and audio without freezing or lag during meetings.
- Cloud backups & file sharing: Uploading large files to cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) is much faster and more reliable with higher upload speeds.
- Online gaming: Multiplayer gaming doesn’t just download data, it constantly sends data back to game servers; good upload speeds keep latency low and gameplay smooth.
- CCTV & home security: If your surveillance cameras stream footage to cloud storage, you need consistent upload bandwidth to avoid delays or dropped frames.
- Content creation: Uploading high‑resolution videos or livestreaming requires significant upload capacity to keep the quality high without buffering.
Generally, if upload speed is too low for your activities, you’ll notice it, not just in slower file transfers but in choppy video calls or lag during live applications.
Wildanet Upload Speeds & What They Look Like
Wildanet’s consumer broadband packages show how upload speeds scale with household demands. Residential plans typically offer asymmetrical speeds (download to upload), but even at the lower end, the upload speeds are well above older copper or basic fibre services.
Here’s a snapshot of Wildanet household packages:
- 100 Mbps download / 20 Mbps upload: entry‑level broadband for browsing, email, and occasional uploads.
- 200 Mbps / 40 Mbps: strong enough for video calls, moderate cloud backups, and everyday online use.
- 350 Mbps / 70 Mbps: excellent for multi‑user households with more demand.
- 500 Mbps / 100 Mbps: great for frequent cloud use, content creation, uploads, and gaming.
- 1 Gbps / 200 Mbps and 2 Gbps / 400 Mbps: very high upload capacity for creators, large households, and multiple simultaneous high‑bandwidth activities.
Every Wildanet package also includes unlimited data, so you don’t have to worry about usage caps when uploading or backing up files.
So, What’s a Good Upload Speed?
Everyday Home Use
If your main activities are video calls, posting to social media, and cloud backups:
- 40–70 Mbps upload is a solid target for most households with plenty for smooth conferencing, reliable backups, and sharing large files.
Multi‑User & Heavy Upload Needs
If you have multiple people working or learning from home, upload large videos, or stream CCTV to the cloud:
- 70–100 Mbps or more keeps everything responsive and reliable.
Power Users & Creators
For livestreaming, large‑file workflows (e.g., video editing uploads), or frequent cloud syncing:
- 100 Mbps+ upload (up to 200–400 Mbps) gives you headroom, so uploads and real‑time services don’t interfere with each other.
In other words, a ‘good’ upload speed depends on how you use the internet. Wildanet’s Full‑Fibre network offers a wide range of upload speeds, letting you match performance to your real-world activities rather than just chasing headline numbers.
With Wildanet, you get more than just fast numbers; you get reliable, real-world speeds that keep up with the way you live and work online, whether it’s video calls, uploading large files, or streaming high-quality CCTV feeds.
