Including your IPS (Internet Service Provider) there are several free sites that can help you complete an internet speed test. Use internet speed test websites as a barometer for testing as they can be irregular.
Internet speed and time spent uploading and/or downloading go together. Download speed refers to the rate that digital data is transferred from the Internet to your computer, while upload speed is the rate that online data is transferred from your computer to the Internet. Simply put, slow internet causes delays. A slowdown can be caused by several things such as high peak hours or high-volume traffic times, multiple users on the same network, Wi-Fi connections and distance from your router.
