- 25 Mbps / 5 Mbps — browsing, email, HD video calls for one household. The floor most providers consider adequate.
- 100 Mbps / 20 Mbps — 4K streaming on several screens, large file transfers, and working from home with frequent video meetings.
- 300 Mbps and above — multiple simultaneous 4K streams, cloud backups, and gaming alongside heavy streaming.
- Upload speed — worth more than most people expect if you back up photos, host calls or push large files to the cloud.

How do I get faster internet in Delhi?

How to get a more accurate Delhi result
A measurement is only as good as the setup behind it. To get a number that reflects your plan rather than your Wi-Fi:
- Connect over Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi where you can.
- Pause every other download, cloud backup and video stream on the network.
- Keep the browser tab in the foreground — background tabs are throttled by most browsers.
- Close VPNs and proxies, which add overhead to every request.
- Run the test twice and compare; the two runs should be close.
