Abstract 

During the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the social gathering lifestyle to online business and social interaction. The worldwide imposed travel bans and national lockdown prevented social gatherings, making learning institutions and businesses to adopt an online platform for learning and business transactions. This development led to the incorporation of video conferencing into daily activities. This data article presents broadband data usage measurement collected using Glasswire software on various conference calls made between July and August. The services considered in this work are Google Meet, Zoom, Mixir, and Hangout. The data were recorded in Microsoft Excel 2016, running on a personal computer. The data was cleaned and processed using google colaboratory, which runs Python scripts on the browser. Exploratory data analysis is conducted on the data set using linear regression to model a predictive model to assess the best performance model that offers the best quality of service for online video and voice conferencing. The data is necessary to learning institutions using online programs and to learners accessing online programs in a smart city and developing countries. The data is presented in tables and graphs
