Understand metrics

This figure is considered to be the key, its value is often referred to as the Internet speed. The higher it is, the faster a web page open, downloadable content and more stable running game and the online broadcast.

outgoing speed (Upload Speed) - the speed of file downloads on the Web. The higher the value, the faster the data is transmitted from the local device to the server or to other user devices.

Ping (Ping) - the total time during which the data reach from the local to the server device and comes back. Measured in milliseconds (msec). The lower the number, the faster the data transfer. As a rule, ping below 50 msec will be enough to not feel the delay, even in heavy online games.

Measure the speed of the Internet through these services

You have to understand: every service gives only approximate values. In addition, the speed of the ping, upload and return depends on the distance and the technical features of the server, which is involved in the test. Therefore, it is best to measure the speed of different services and as a result of taking the arithmetic mean.

If you are using a wireless connection, the outcome may also be influenced by the characteristics of the modem / router, The level of interference in a wireless network, and distance from the source. In this case, the actual speed of the Internet can be significantly lower than when connected via a cable to the same provider.
