connection speed

Network transfer rate

Connection speed is how fast data travels between devices or across a network, typically measured in bits per second: My connection speed dropped during peak hours.

Internet service providers advertise connection speeds, though actual performance rarely matches the promised rates.

Faster connection speeds allow smoother streaming, quicker downloads, and more responsive online gaming.
