When uploading videos & files to TORSH Talent, internet connection strength and speed are important factors to keep in mind. The FCC legally defines high-speed internet or “broadband” as an internet connection with a **Download Speed of 25 Mbps or higher** and an **Upload Speed of 3 Mbps or higher**. If your connection is below that range, it may cause issues with uploading from your device.  **Please read the following Help Center article for further information about upload speed and video upload time estimates:** - [**How long will my video take to upload?**](https://torsh-2413986.hs-sites.com/knowledge/how-long-will-my-video-take-to-upload?hsLang=en)   ### **Testing WiFi Connection Strength** There are several ways to test your WiFi speed. When doing so, make sure that you are testing it through the device you are uploading your videos & files from, as it may vary between devices. If you are using a mobile device, make sure that your **'Cellular Data'** setting is turned **OFF** so that you can ensure the internet connection reading is for your WiFi connection specifically; otherwise, it may throw off your reading. Open your **web browser app** and go to **Google Search**. Type in **‘internet speed test.’**   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200106094739-4.png)   The first option on your Search page should list a giant **‘RUN SPEED TEST’** button. Click **‘RUN SPEED TEST.’**   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200107123475-4.png?width=486&height=254&name=29200107123475-4.png)   After the test generates, you should see your **Download** and **Upload** speed. The **Upload Speed** will be your determining factor for video uploads. An Upload Speed of **3 Mbps or higher** should be stable enough to process your upload (though, keep in mind that a very large file over **1GB** in size may also lead to a slower than usual upload process).   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200107131923-4.png?width=350&height=525&name=29200107131923-4.png)     ### **Testing Cellular Data Connection Strength** If the device you are using has **Cellular Data** capability, you may find that you have a stronger internet connection when connected to Cellular Data. **NOTE:  Your Cellular Data plan will apply to uploads made through the TORSH Talent mobile app when enabling the 'Cellular Data' option in the mobile app.**   To determine your Cellular Data connection strength, first turn **OFF** your **WiFi** connection in your device's settings. Then turn **ON** your **Cellular Data** connection. Open your **web browser app** and go to **Google Search**. Type in **‘internet speed test.’**   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200106094739-Jan-28-2026-03-21-25-3442-PM.png)   The first option on your Search page should list a giant **‘RUN SPEED TEST’** button. Click **‘RUN SPEED TEST.’**   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200107123475-Jan-28-2026-03-21-29-7766-PM.png?width=506&height=264&name=29200107123475-Jan-28-2026-03-21-29-7766-PM.png)   After the test generates, you should see your **Download** and **Upload** speed. The **Upload Speed** will be your determining factor. An Upload Speed of **3 Mbps or higher** should be stable enough to process your upload (though, keep in mind that a very large file over **1GB** in size may also lead to a slower than usual upload process).   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200107131923-Jan-28-2026-03-21-33-6820-PM.png?width=351&height=527&name=29200107131923-Jan-28-2026-03-21-33-6820-PM.png)     ### **Connecting to WiFi** If your internet connection is stronger when connected to a WiFi network, we suggest turning **OFF** your **Cellular Data** setting on your device and allowing the upload to process without Cellular Data enabled.   ### **Connecting to Cellular Data in the Mobile App** If your internet connection is stronger when connected to Cellular Data, we suggest turning **OFF** your **WiFi** setting on your device and allowing the upload to process with the 'Cellular Data' setting enabled in the TORSH Talent mobile app. **NOTE:  Your Cellular Data plan will apply to uploads made through the TORSH Talent mobile app when enabling the 'Cellular Data' option in the mobile app.**   Most mobile apps will have Cellular Data capability enabled by default; however, for the TORSH Talent mobile app, you will need to **manually enable this setting**. To do so, open the TORSH Talent mobile app and login. Then tap the **'menu icon'** in the top, left-hand corner and select **'Settings.'**   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200107148179-2.png?width=334&height=723&name=29200107148179-2.png)   On your Settings page, find **'Cellular Data'** and tap on the button beside it so that it displays as **'BLUE/ON.'** Your TORSH Talent mobile app will now be able to upload using your device's Cellular Data.   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/29200106144659-2.png?width=339&height=734&name=29200106144659-2.png)   -
