» How do I know how much bandwidth my streaming project will need?
Option 1: Estimate your project needs. Start with the estimated amount of daily users, the bit-rate you plan on using and the average viewing/listening time per user. Feed this information into our Streaming Calculator to get a bandwidth estimate.
Option 2: If you cannot estimate your streaming project needs, choose the Free or Basic Program, and after one month of streaming - adjust your program / bandwidth based on the data you’ve gathered in this time period.
» How can I limit the amount of connections to my stream?
If you wish to place a connection limit on your stream – you can use our concurrent pricing plan. With this program any users who try to connect to your stream once your limit has been reached will be denied access until a current user disconnects from your stream.
» What happens when my audience size grows?
If your audience size grows, it is probably a good time to purchase more bandwidth. You can do this at any time, with no extra charge. Changes to your account will come into effect on your next monthly billing cycle.
If you are on a concurrent pricing plan, and are frequently reaching your maximum amount of connections, you should request a higher limit for your stream, or move to a bandwidth pricing plan.
» How can I pay for my streaming service?
NetroMedia accepts all major credit cards as form of payment. You can sign up and pay online or we can send you a streaming services agreement that you can keep as a record. We only ask that you sign and fax back to our accounting department for processing.
