Internet Speed Defined

Internet Speed is defined as: the rate at which data crosses the internet to its destination. Internet service providers claim to offer a certain amount of bandwidth and the only way to measure the bandwidth is through speed tests; not the speed test that’s hosted on the same network as your internet service provider, but an outside, non-biased speed test.
