Each test measures the data rate for the download direction, i.e. from the server to the user computer, and the upload data rate, i.e. from the user's computer to the server. The tests are performed within the user's web browser or within mobile apps. As of 17 February 2024, over 52.3 billion Internet speed tests have been completed. [8]
Actually, more things will have been agreed in advance — the speed of bit transmission, the number of bits per character, the parity and the number of stop bits (signifying the end of a character). So a designation of 9600-8-E-2 would be 9,600 bits per second, with eight bits per character, even parity and two stop bits.
SpeedOf.Me generally gives higher values than most speed tests. This is because the Ookla's speedtest.net was the leading speed test at the time of development. However, the Ookla speed test was based on Flash and therefore kept a safety margin of 10% [4]. The highest 10% of the measurements were not included.
This is a sortable list of broadband internet connection speed by country, ranked by Speedtest.net data for March 2024, [1] and with M-Lab data for June 2023 [2] Country/Territory Median
cFosSpeed is a traffic shaping software often bundled with MSI motherboards for the Windows operating system. The program attaches itself as a device driver to the Windows network stack where it performs packet inspection and layer-7 protocol analysis.
The DSL Reports Speedtest [11] is an easy-to-use test that includes a score for bufferbloat. The ICSI Netalyzr [ 12 ] was another on-line tool that could be used for checking networks for the presence of bufferbloat, together with checking for many other common configuration problems. [ 13 ]
IEEE 802.3bz, NBASE-T and MGBASE-T are standards released in 2016 for Ethernet over twisted pair at speeds of 2.5 and 5 Gbit/s. These use the same cabling as the ubiquitous Gigabit Ethernet, yet offer higher speeds. The resulting standards are named 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T. [1] [2] [3]
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 ...
