can still access the DVMR using a dial-up connection, but you might receive a single image every
several seconds. It is highly recommended to access the NVS through a high-speed connection as
well.
You may ask, “So exactly what numbers would be good rates? What can I compare it to?” Below is
a chart describing various bandwidth rates (speeds) that you can compare and determine which
would suit your needs for live video data transfer.

Generally, the higher the values you receive the larger amount the fee, especially if you request a
very large upstream bandwidth rate. Today, most high-speed Internet providers supply sufficient
downstream rates, but often lack sufficient upstream rates to accommodate serving data. In your
case, you are concerned about serving large amounts of data from your NVS site. So, you have to
search for the best provider supplying sufficient upstream rates at a reasonable cost.
Now that you have a better understanding on the importance of how fast your high-speed
connection is, you can appropriately request the type of service needed or upgrade your current
account if desired.
