Hello, I am current workin in testing(manual QA) and looking to transition to cloud tech. Started AWA preparation and planning to get certified soon.
I have no clue how interviews take place for cloud based positions. Appreciate if anyone can share information and how can I ace the interview prep? Deloitte EY PwC KPMG Google AWS
The obstacle in the way, is they way.

Yes. We were on 24mbps in the spring and it worked fine for similar work loads.
Interesting. Verizon only gives 200, 400, 600 Mbps 🙄 Seems like the upsell is big here...

I’d go up to 1 gig. You will not get 200 mb during peak use. You can afford to pay more for the 1 gig (and you won’t get 1 gig during peak times but more than 200 mbs)
You know thats only your downstream... When you're video calling you also need to consider your upstream bandwidth which carriers historically didn't focus on but with WFH I wish it would change I have to shut off all my nest cams to preserve upstream bandwidth for my 4k camera in my WebEx meetings.

Typically up scales, though. If you’re running a 4K camera for webex, with multiple nests....Idk, I have some questions
The more important thing at this point is to make sure you have a decent WiFi router, preferably a mesh system like Orbi or Eero if you have a large home.
Also this... I have Google WiFi (newer version is nest branded now) hardwiring into the router has also stabilized and can't be beat in that regard.
Streaming video only takes 3-5mb per stream for HD quality.
You could honestly prob get away with 15 or 20mbps
Wsj did a nice piece on this a while back....

Using ~100mbs to dl games, with roommates, on the reg

More like the weekly Warzone patch for 100gb
I have 300 Mbps (although my 5-year old router can only output 250 Mbps). Today we had 2 Zoom sessions, some FaceTiming, and Netflix all going at the same time. There were some choppy moments, but overall great.
Using frontier 500/500 and what I’m going to say is I regret not paying the 1 gb speed. I would always go up unless you know your actually not going to be using it 24/7. I’ve already burned through 600 gigs in 30 days.
I only have 100mb, (was 50 until they recently upgraded me) and have a fam of 5 with 3 kids often streaming on tablets + me and my wife working. Never noticed any bandwidth issues.
I doubt we use much past 10-12mb at our peak times.
My WiFi point is connected to a 100mbps switch so that would hold me back anyway....
Plenty. Just make sure they don’t have a total data cap like Xfinity. The three of us blew through that cap during the shut down.
Oi! I just saw this on the damn app.
That is more than enough.
You can play streaming video games in parallel :)
Amazing! I thought zoom would take more bandwidth
The majority of internet issues in homes today is WiFi congestion and bandwidth, not the line speed you’re getting from the provider. 95% won’t saturate more than 25 mbps at a time but depending on your WiFi setup, many of your devices will fail or buffer a lot.
Direct wire as many of your devices and save the WiFi for the devices that have to use it. Also upgrade your WiFi with an Eero or similar mesh setup and you’ll be good.
35 mbps is all you need for all of the stuff a normal household would ever want to do.
About 50 would be enough
We have 1Gig with 2 teens. and 2 adults in video it still bogs down.
