upload speed
Outbound data velocity
Upload speed is how fast data travels from your device to the internet—the outbound counterpart to download speed.
It matters most when sending files, video calling, livestreaming, or posting content: My upload speed is too slow for streaming on Twitch.
Typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps), upload speeds are usually slower than download speeds on residential connections.
