"SPEED TEST" -
How fast is your internet speed?

BlueWorldData.com speed test includes download speed, upload speed and response time.

Download Speed is measured in Mega Bits per Second (MBPS) and displays the time it takes to download data from a fast remote server to your computer or smart phone.

Upload Speed is measured in Mega Bits per Second (MBPS) and displays the time it takes to upload data from your computer to a typical server.

Response Time is measured in milliseconds and displays the time it takes for one round trip from your computer or smart phone to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and back to your computer or smart phone.

Download Speed is important if you frequently download large data files, e.g., high definition streaming videos. Gamers require it for fast-paced game environments.

Upload Speed is important if you upload large data files, e.g., website management. Gamers need it for fast reaction time compared to their opponents.

The FCC defines high-speed internet, or broadband, as offering a minimum download speed of 25 Mbps and a minimum upload speed of 3 Mbps.
