2. Speedtest.net - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedtest.net

   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]

3. List of countries by Internet connection speeds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by...

   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.

4. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

   When talking about circuit bit rates, people will interchangeably use the terms throughput, bandwidth and speed, and refer to a circuit as being a '64 k' circuit, or a '2 meg' circuit — meaning 64 kbit/s or 2 Mbit/s (see also the List of connection bandwidths). However, a '64 k' circuit will not transmit a '64 k' file in one second.

5. Fast Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Ethernet

   The prior Ethernet speed was 10 Mbit/s. Of the Fast Ethernet physical layers, 100BASE-TX is by far the most common. Fast Ethernet was introduced in 1995 as the IEEE 802.3u standard [ 1 ] and remained the fastest version of Ethernet for three years before the introduction of Gigabit Ethernet . [ 2 ]

6. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

   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 ...

7. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

   Bandwidth throttling is also used as a measurement of data rate on Internet speed test websites. Throttling can be used to actively limit a user's upload and download rates on programs such as video streaming , BitTorrent protocols and other file sharing applications, as well as even out the usage of the total bandwidth supplied across all ...
