Visitor Question or Comment:
1.-I have a contracted 2Mbps internet service. How is that speed? Good, bad, enough?
2.-I ask the provider if that is the speed at which I can download and he tells me that this is the browsing speed, I don’t understand, can you clarify that for me, please?
Greetings.
Carlos Silva.
Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:
2 Mbps (wrongly called 2 megabytes) is a regular connection speed (neither good nor bad), to enjoy today’s internet about 3 Mbps should be the minimum (it is a personal appreciation for the use that I give to Internet).
The speed that they usually sell us in advertisements is that of DOWNLOADING or DOWNLOADING files. They can tell you browsing speed is NOT appropriate because web browsing includes downloading and uploading…
So a connection has TWO speeds: download (download or download) and upload (upload).
The uphill is usually much less than the downhill.
You should look at internet tests or connection speed tests and run them at different times of the day (try several too) to really check how much your internet provider is giving you download.
I suggest you read also: Data transmission speed
