MB of internet required for an event

I am developing a POS app for an event at a convention center. Internet access there is very limited and they offer plans for a dedicated link for the event (NOTE: There would be a maximum of 10 people connected to this network).

Which alternative is sufficient to run Glide without problems? 5, 10, 15 or 20Mb? Any suggestions?

Do you need to upload files in the app?

Here’s a nice chart that I found:

Purpose Recommended speed per instance
Web browsing 3–5 Mbps
Email 1–2 Mbps
Music streaming 1–2 Mbps
Checking social media 3–10 Mbps
Video streaming 5–25 Mbps
Video conferencing 5–10 Mbps
Online gaming 5–25 Mbps
Smart home devices 1-10 Mbps

So if you have 10 people on the app at the same time, knowing that some people might have other tasks running in background, you might want to have between 15 and 50. I suggest you to get a 15Mbps and look out it goes.
