Is 3mbps enough upstream bandwidth to run Adobe Connect meetings for 6 - 12 attendees w live video?

Here is the Connect 9 Technical guide. Average bandwidth consumption numbers are listed on the 2nd to last page. http://www.realeyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Adobe-Connect-9-Technical-Guide.pdf

Assuming highest quality settings each user would need around a 500 kpbs upstream bandwidth. Other things to consider is if they are broadcasting VoIP audio (44 kbps) and/or sharing their screen 200+ kbps. So, I would suspect that a 3 mbps upstream connection will be sufficient for attending a Connect Meeting.

However, you may want to consider that their downstream may be saturated pretty quick with the live video. Again, assuming highest quality setting (meaning you can tune it down and make the numbers more reasonable) a meeting with 6 attendees all broadcasting their live video would require 500 kbps upstream and 2.5 mbps downstream. A meeting with 12 would require 500 kbps upstream and 5.5 mbps downstream.
