Internet Connection

I just completed the Internet Connection Test and I chose to do it from New York, NY. My download speed was 2.86Mbps while my upload speed was 0.73Mbps. I was reading about my results and found out that that download is a measure of how fast your connection delivers content to your computer or local area network. Upload is is the measure of how fast content is delivered from your computer or local area network to others on the Internet. I also learned that for business users your download and upload speed should match or be very close. My results were not that close, which is OK because I am not running a business. I tried the connection test from different cities but my results were consistently the same or very close. This activity fits ISTE NETS standard Technology Operations and Concepts because it involves me using applications effectively and productively while also understanding and using technology systems.
