broadband speed

Internet data rate

Broadband speed measures how fast data travels over a high-speed internet connection, typically expressed in megabits per second (Mbps).

Download speed determines how quickly you receive data; upload speed determines how quickly you send it.

What broadband speed do I need for streaming?

Providers advertise maximum speeds, though actual performance varies with network congestion and equipment.
