- coldtea 6y agoMaybe it's due to the other side of the video call, using their wifi?
- softgrow 6y agoYou may have local issues. I ran a series of iperf3 tests in a small but non-trivial network and was surprised. There was a 100Mbps switch that had been forgotten about. Also a wifi network running off a Power over Ethernet link which was 3Mbps compared with 50Mbps over fairly poor Wifi it was supposed to be superior to, which looks pretty darn good to the POE link. A cheap switch and two LAN cables later things are so much better.
- tuatoru 6y ago100 Mbps is enough for 15-20 HD video calls using modern codecs. Gigabit is great for backups, but for ordinary use 100 Mbit is fine. If you're getting lag and dropouts with a wired connection, the problem is most likely bufferbloat.
