Technology research and advisory firm, Ovum, says that 10Mbps (megabits-per-second) should be the new minimum speed for broadband. It arrived at the figure after conducting an extensive survey on the fixed broadband market in 30 countries.
The white paper suggests that in order to provide the best broadband experience, the network should have a waiting time of less than 3 seconds, a minimum speed of 10Mbps, and an excellent customer service. Ovum conducted a consumer survey in 30 countries, on the basis of which it created a Global Broadband Experience Scorecard to compare the quality of broadband experience.
Results of the survey indicate that online video streaming in either standard-definition (SD) or high-definition (HD) is one of the key applications that determine the broadband experience. The research suggests that a minimum of 10Mbps speed is required for Internet applications and SD video and 50+Mbps for UHD/HD video.
In 2015, the answer is at least 10Mbps if you wish to receive a good-quality broadband experience, and a significant number of households, even in well-developed broadband countries, are well shy of this mark. With a clear link between poor user experience and customer churn, broadband service providers need to continue to invest in broadband infrastructure in order to provide their customers with the best broadband experience and maintain a satisfied customer base,” Philpott concluded.
