Minimum and Recommended Bandwidth

Type	Minimum Requirement	Recommended Requirement
Upload Speed	2 Mbps	5 Mbps
Download Speed	2 Mbps	5 Mbps

Tip: For the best results in Talview interviews, ensure at least 5 Mbps bandwidth and minimal latency for clear audio and zero lag.

How to Check Your Network Speed

Before starting your interview or assessment, test your connection using Talview’s speed test tool:

👉 Run Speed Test

Steps:

1. Click Start Test to begin.
2. Wait for the test to finish — it automatically measures download, upload, and latency.
3. Compare your results with the values in the Recommended Network Metrics table below.

Tip: Run the test on the same device and browser you’ll use for the interview.

Recommended Network Metrics

Parameter	Recommended Value	What It Means
Ping (Latency)	≤ 50 ms	Measures response time; lower values mean less delay during calls.
Jitter	≤ 30 ms	Indicates connection stability; lower jitter ensures consistent audio.
Download Speed	≥ 5 Mbps	Ensures you can receive real-time audio and video smoothly.
Upload Speed	≥ 5 Mbps	Ensures your audio is transmitted clearly to others.

Tips for Best Performance

• Use a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi for better stability.
• Close unused applications or browser tabs that consume bandwidth.
• Test from the same device and location where you’ll attend the session.
• Keep a mobile hotspot backup ready in case of network fluctuations.

A reliable network is key to maintaining clear, delay-free VoIP communication during interviews and assessments. By ensuring your internet meets these requirements, you can enjoy a professional, uninterrupted experience on the Talview platform.
