First, What Does Mbps Actually Mean?
Mbps (megabits per second) is the unit that measures internet speed — specifically, how fast data can be downloaded or uploaded over your connection.
-
Download speed affects how quickly you stream videos, load websites, or download files.
-
Upload speed matters for video calls, online classes, sending large files, and gaming.
