Internet Speed is called the rate at which data flows from one computer to another computer through the Internet. The data transfer rate is normally measured in Kbps (Kilo bits per second) or Mbps (Mega bits per second). When the data is transferred from your computer to a remote computer, it is called upload, and when your computer receives data from a remote computer, it is called download. The rate at which data downloads to your machine is called Internet Download Speed, and the rate at which the data uploads from your computer, it is called the Internet Upload Speed. Both these speeds are calculated by sending data from your computer and receiving data to your computer through your Internet connection.
