upload speeds

Data sending rate

Upload speeds measure how quickly data travels from your device to the internet—the outbound counterpart to download speeds.

Most internet connections have slower upload than download speeds, which matters for video calls, livestreaming, or sending large files: My upload speeds are too slow for Zoom.

Measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
