About Speed Test
Download speed measured in megabits per second (Mbps), how fast your computer can receive data from a server on the Internet. Upload speed, how fast your computer can send data to a server on the Internet. Ping, also known as “latency”, measures the reaction time of your Internet connection by calculating the time it takes between sending out a request to getting a response. Measured in milliseconds (ms), ping indicates how responsive your Internet connection is. Jitter, based on multiple measures of pings, jitter measures the consistency of your Internet connection. Also measured in milliseconds, the smaller the jitter, the more stable an Internet connection. Speed Test works with a global network of over 5,000 testing servers. The app selects a server nearby your current location with a fast ping, which usually indicates a reliable Internet connection with good throughput.

Speedcheck
An internet speed test measures the connection speed and quality of your connected device to the internet. It does so by running multiple consecutive tests that analyze different aspects of your internet connection, namely ping (latency), download speed, and upload speed. Each of these values represents the connection's specific qualities, which you can read more about in the paragraph after the next. These should help you understand the final speed test results. But before we get to these, we first want to discuss how to perform each test. The download measurement is performed by opening multiple connections to a server and simultaneously starting the download of a large data file on all connections. This approach ensures that the entire bandwidth of the internet connection is maxed out, and thereby the maximum data throughput can be measured. Recording the data throughput against measurement time finally yields the available internet speed for downloading data.
