Connection Quality;
There are a few functions that determine the "quality" of your connection from your service provider. In order to determine if the quality of bandwidth you are receiving is of high quality there are a few tests that you can do.
The main components of connection "quality" are:
- Bandwidth of a Connection: This is sometimes called "Speed".
- Packet Loss: This determines how many packets you will loose between two points. Packet loss is generally more important than "Speed" or Latency.
- Latency: This is the variation in the performance of your connection.
