There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a highspeed internet provider. Download and upload speeds, backbones, networks, latency, ping times, and DNS servers.
Download
Download is a measure of how fast your connection delivers content to your computer or local area network.
Upload
Upload is the measure of how fast content is delivered from your computer or local area network to others on the Internet.
For businesses or power-users, download and upload speed should match or at least be very close. This is important for applications like VoIP, on-line gaming and other interactive programs. Upload speed is even more important if you are operating a server at your location. If achieving optimal upload speed is a concern, consider Ethernet, T1 or SDSL services.
Kbps
Kbps transfer rate = kilobit per second transfer rate. There are 8 bits
in a byte, so we would divide kbps by 8 to get KB/sec transfer rate.
Transfer Rate
Transfer rate is speed at which data can be transmitted between devices. This is sometimes referred to as throughput. As files to download become increasingly larger, the highest data transfer rate is most desirable.
Latency
In a network, latency, a synonym for delay,
is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get
from one designated point to another. In some usages, latency is
measured by sending a packet that is returned to the sender and the
round-trip time is considered the latency. Low latency is extremely
important for businesses and power-users.
