network speed

Data transfer rate

Network speed is how fast data travels across a connection—typically measured in megabits or gigabits per second.

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

My network speed is too slow for video calls.

Internet providers advertise maximum speeds, but actual performance varies with traffic, distance, and equipment.
