What Do We Measure In An Internet Speed Test?
Download Speed
How fast information can transfer to you. It affects things like the duration it takes to download large files or display pages with many images. Download speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Upload Speed
How fast information can transfer from you. It affects things like how long it takes to post images to social media or send big files via email attachments. Upload speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Ping Speed
It is the reaction time of your internet connection - how fast you get a response after you have sent a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection. Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms).
