broadband speed test

A broadband speed test measures how quickly your internet connection can download and upload data. It provides two main numbers: download speed (how fast information comes into your device) and upload speed (how quickly you can send information out). These speeds affect your experience with activities like streaming videos, working remotely, or online gaming. The test works by sending small data samples to a server and timing how long it takes to transfer them. This helps you understand if your internet connection is performing as expected or if there might be issues slowing it down.
