The speed of your internet connection refers to the length of time it takes for data to relay back and forth between your device and the web server. Speed plays an important role in both the convenience and efficiency of the tasks you routinely perform on your devices. 

What Is Internet Speed?

In very basic terms, speed is the amount of data your connection can download and upload in any given second.  Most service providers offer a variety of speeds, so you can find one that meets the needs of your household.

How Do You Check Your Speed?

The easiest way to find out the speed of your connection is to perform a speed test.  Your provider will likely provide a link on their website to run a speed test. For the most accurate speed test, direct connection to the incoming internet (via laptop or desktop), not wireless (Wi-Fi).

How Much Speed Do You Need?

How much speed you need depends on the type of computing tasks you routinely perform as well as the number of devices. For more intensive use, including streaming and gaming, you will need more than if you are just checking email. Your provider will assist you in choosing the right speed.
