download speed
Data reception velocity
Download speed is how fast data transfers from the internet to your device, typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Higher download speeds mean faster loading of web pages, streaming video, and file transfers.
Internet providers advertise download speeds, though actual performance often falls short: The plan promises 100 Mbps but my download speed barely hits 50.
