Question / Help Bandwidth Capped at 2TB/month, enough to livestream?

[scriptomania]

Greetings!

Sorry if this sounds a bit noobish. I am a beginner to livestreaming and would love to start doing it!

I'm thinking about switching my ISP to a different one, that has the speeds I'd want for a great price.

Download Speeds up to: 150Mbps/18MBps
Upload Speeds up to: 20Mbps/2MBps -- (Is that a fast enough speed?)

But they have a cap limit of 2,000GB / 2TB per month.

How much usage would livestreaming create, when streaming 10+ hours a day per month?

Just for future reference what would the calculations on that be?

Thanks!

Thank you very much! I believe that solved my question.

10 hours = 72,000 megabits = 9 Gigabytes * 7 days = 63 Gigabytes used per week * 4 weeks = 252 Gigabytes used per month.

So overall, I kinda figured 2 Terabytes was obviously going to be enough. But just wanted to clarify things a bit. Never had a capped ISP before, and actually don't like the fact they have a cap limit as a ISP..

Thanks again!

2TB is enough for streaming, you can also have some tools to monitor your network traffic. But still for a streamer and a gamer 2TB might be a bit too small. Talk to your ISP, it should be possible to get a full flatrate, unlimited.
