Download & Upload Speeds
Download speed signifies how many megabits of data per second it takes to download data from a server to your device. Activities such as listening to music, downloading large files, or streaming videos require you to download data. These files may be images, videos, text, and audio.
Upload speed is how many megabits of data per second your device can send information to another or server on the internet. Sending an email, playing live tournament-style and a friend require fast upload speeds for you to send data to someone else’s server.
