1 to 2 devices — 50 to 100 Mbps. 3 to 5 devices — 100 to 300 Mbps. ... These sites measure not only your download and upload speeds but also other factors important to a good internet experience:
For instance, SATA revision 3.0 (6 Gbit/s) controllers on one PCI Express 2.0 (5 Gbit/s) channel will be limited to the 5 Gbit/s rate and have to employ more channels to get around this problem. Early implementations of new protocols very often have this kind of problem.
This is a list of countries by Internet connection speed for average and median data transfer rates for Internet access by end-users. The difference between average and median speeds is the way individual measurements are aggregated.
DSL access at speeds of 0.5 to 15 Mbit/s, fiber access (FiOS) at speeds of 50 Mbit/s to 2 Gbit/s, and fixed wireless broadband with speeds up to 940 Mbit/s [90] [91] Cox: 5,560,000 [85] Cable Internet access at speeds of 5 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s. [92] Altice USA: 4,290,600 [85] Cable Internet access at speeds up to 400 Mbit/s.
In computer networking, the contention ratio is the ratio of the potential maximum demand to the actual bandwidth. The higher the contention ratio, the greater the number of users that may be trying to use the actual bandwidth at any one time and, therefore, the lower the effective bandwidth offered, especially at peak times.

For example, in normal web browsing, a user will visit a number of web sites and will need to download the data that comprises the web pages from the site, images, text, sound files etc. but they will only upload a small amount of data, as the only uploaded data is that used for the purpose of verifying the receipt of the downloaded data (in ...
The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...
The Village People’s lyricist and lead singer has hit out at the “false assumption” that the band’s biggest hit, “YMCA,” is a “gay anthem.”
