How to Test My Broadband Strength
Bandwidth roughly translates to raw speed when it comes to your Internet connection. Different Internet providers have different bandwidth mbps (mega bytes per second). The higher the mbps the faster the Internet speed on your computer. The Internet provider that you subscribe to should provide you with a number that ranges from 64 kbit/s to 1.0 kbit/s which is your bandwidth speed. You can test the bandwidth strength that you have on your computer by following a few simple steps.
