Helping people with computers.. one answer at a time.

Bandwidth vs. Latency: What is the Difference? By Lynn Phillips| Mar 16. Download speed, and upload speed. Most ISPs only talk about download speed, because download speed matters most to most people. Unless you’re sending files, upload speed matters less. It can be frustrating that you have to wait several seconds every time you. While high download speeds are important for a range of things like browsing feature-rich sites, downloading movies and gaming, ordinate upload speeds are just as essential. Many provider fail to supply the latter, which makes it a lot more difficult to upload files than download them.

Upload and download speeds quoted by your ISP aren't as directly related as you might imagine. It's easier to think of them as two separate things.

by Leo A. Notenboom, © 2009

ISP connections seem to be rated in download/upload speeds, with download speeds being substantially higher. I'm often urged by my ISP to upgrade my service to a more expensive option that provides higher download speeds. What no one can explain is, how much faster can my download speed be if the servers I visit are limited to the slower upload speed?

•

There's a bit of a misconception built into the question that I want to tryto clear up.

Upload and download speeds aren't related. Well, technically I suppose theyare, kinda, but for all practical purposes you should think of them ascompletely unrelated.

So the fact that a much faster download speed is available actually hasnothing to do with the fact that your upload speed is much slower incomparison.

I know, it's confusing.

The best analogy I can come up with is your car. You can travel forward muchfaster than you can travel in reverse. I'm not just talking about your skillsas a driver, though I suppose that counts, I mean that your car is simplyincapable of going as fast backwards as it is forwards. Your transmission,among other things, is simply geared that way.

And you probably don't care.

Why?

Because you spend much more time driving forward. It's how you get places.It's much more important to you that you move forward quickly than it is you beable to backup at a breakneck speed.

Could a car be built that could go the same speed in both directions? Ofcourse. But by focusing on one direction, by optimizing for forwardmotion, your car is more efficient at it.

The same is true of your internet connection.

You download much more than you upload.

A typical web browsing session might involve several small requests sentfrom your computer to remote sites requesting pages (anything sent from yourcomputer to the internet is an 'upload', including requests to fetch pages),but the size of the pages and what they contain typically dwarfs the size ofthe original request by factors of 100 or even 1000 or more at times. A tiny200 byte request for a YouTube video being uploaded could result in a downloadof many millions of bytes.

It won't matter to you that the upload of that tiny request is somewhatslower as long as that huge download is as fast as it can possibly be.

The designers of the various technologies that we use to connect to theinternet have realized this, and use it to 'shift the balance' in yourconnection. Whereas in the past you might have seen 50/50 allocation in yourbandwidth - half for uploading and half for downloading - the technologiesbeing implemented in many cases effectively take away some of the uploadingcapacity in order to make the downloading speeds faster. Perhaps an 80/20allocation of the available capacity instead: downloads are faster because youdo them more, uploads are slower but you're likely not to notice or care.

[I have to insert a note here to the pedants: yes, I know that I'mtechnically not exactly correct with this allocation metaphor, but itactually explains the concept very well. The fact is that technology, capacity,bandwidth and infrastructure are shifted in various ways from one direction tothe other in order to provide a better user experience. The nitty gritty techiedetails are well beyond the scope of this article, or the needs of most of thepeople reading it.]

Not all technologies are 'asymmetrical' - having different up and downspeeds. Many dialup modems are (or were) symmetrical - having the same up anddown speeds. DSL, more correctly ADSL for 'Asymmetrical DigitalSubscriber Line' was one of the first popular broadband connections to use thisapproach, and many others have followed in various ways. Other technologiesremain symmetrical - connections between internet servers, for example, arevery much like your own home LAN - the same speed in all directions. Some typesof broadband, including connections such as the T-1 I use, are symmetrical bydesign as well. (I believe cable internet is asymmetrical, but I could bewrong. Most consumer and small business grade fiber, satellite and cellularbroadband are all typically asymmetrical.)

Ultimately, unless you do a lot of uploading - running peer-to-peer software,uploading videos or the like - focus on the download speed. That's what reallyimpacts your internet experience the most, by far.

• Do I need a new computer to keep up with my faster internet connection? If your new faster internet connection doesn't perform as expected there are several things to look at, but the age of your machine probably isn't one.

• What's a T1 line, and how do I connect to it? T1 lines are among the oldest of data technologies in use. They're fast, reliable and a tad expensive. We'll look at how they compare to alternatives.

I could be wrong here, but I think you misinterpreted the OP's question.

I think what the OP wanted to know is this: let's assume your download speeds are 12 Mbps and your upload speeds are 2 Mbps. Why would someone purchase a more expensive plan that gives them faster download speeds if the server they're downloading from still is limited to an upload of 2 Mbps?

Mike -- The upload /download speed of your service has no bearing on the upload speed of your end server.

you are in effect correct though that a 12 Mbps connection against a server capable of only uploading 2Mbps is just as effective as a 20 Mbps on your side against the same server /site.

The biggest reason to upgrade service is for multitasking as the majority of servers are limited in their upload speeds.

I believe DAF made a car that could go as fast backwards as forwards (it used rubber belts so it had the same no of fwd/reverse gears), and the Austin Allegro had better aerodynamics backward than forward. Of course, Italian tanks go faster backwards than forwards ;-)

Where the upload speed hurts the most is using a video web cam.

Download and upload are somehow related based on my knowledge reading over the internet. if your upload is high, your download speed slows. Server capacity is not really a problem if you want a faster download. All you have to do is to make sure that the seeder and leecher are almost the same like 50/50. There are some downloader that you have choices if you want to upload file while you are downloading it or not.

As Mike points out, the question seems to be one of 'how is the remote server's upload speed affecting my download speed' and 'if the remote server is bandwidth limited for its upload, doesn't that limit my download'. The answer is that the remote server is likely not connected to 'the internet' via the same bandwidth limited connect as your client machine is. Most servers are sitting on high bandwidth connections to the internet, often far in excess of 100Mb. Their connection speeds (up and down) are completely unrelated to your connection speeds. The net bandwidth that you have to any one server will be affected by factors which include: the server's bandwidth, the client's bandwidth, the load in all of 'the pipes & switches' between the two, and even things like the distance between the two and how well tuned the software is on each of the two.. its a complex equation.

One unmentioned large reason for asymetric bandwidth for many client's connections is.. well.. to prevent them from becoming effective servers. Your ISP can control via such knobs how much data you put on the net, and thus their costs. Likewise, the can employ technologies such as 'caching proxies' to provide the client with an copy of a commonly fetched web page without even visiting the server (or just asking the server to validate the proxie's cache with a low cost transaction really ;-). Taken to the extreme, this is (in essense) the whole idea behind technologies such as Akamai's (a whole business built on this ;-).

I read you article but that does not help me. I am not at your level. Maybe you can help. I use a Verison aircard to connect to internet. I bought a VoIP phone but could not use it. Upload speeds were to slow. How can I get faster upload speeds. When I call tech help, they go DAHHHH, I don't know what you are talking about. My cousin has the same phone in Calif. and the same air card and his works fine even in my house here in Alabama. Why?

Can anyone explain this phenomenon?
i have uploading speeds of 25kbps
but downloads around 22-26kbps
it relly is annoying me
and above all it is not a peer to peer download and also the server that i downloaded wasn't busy.
so i suspect my ISP has to do something wid this?

Very nice comment but it looks like your comment is gibing the download a major factor and there is it where I don't agree at all. What about multimedia or a streaming of a camara. I most cases we all download but there are so many cases we really need both. In my oppinion an upload spped has to be always half the download speed. If not ,'then I garantee there will be some nasty disconnection while seeing a movie or any multimedia aspect.
I had so many discussion about this and most don't understand at all that the download is not all. If an ISP do not agree to give the upload half the download then I just say goodbye and look for another. That is my rule of thumb and I can prove this also. Just take a test on any speddtest website and do it for several minutes one by one. See what happen when your upload is not half the download speed. You will see a lot of backdrop while testing.
If the upload is half the download you see no such dropback at all when testing. Thoise backdrop means there was some way a disconnection rapidly nad connect again. You can do nothing about this issue .You will always have this happen and maybe not even notice it. Only GURUS will see this and know what it is. Thank you very much for your explanation and I am very sorry to be the one to tell you that your story is not quit truth. Thank you and have a nice day

please i have a dvr with 16 cameras streamed on the internet,when i opens it locall i could veiw all the cameras but when tried to veiw it remoutel i could only open one at a time and it will be dragging.i have a band width of 32/128k

@Peter,
16 cameras is a lot! It's not surprising that only one at a time opens when viewing it remotely. Just not enough bandwidth.

I just had a long and very unpleasant conversation with a Netflix service professional about our constant Netflix freezes on an otherwise just fine working internet. He insisted that Netflix servers 'use the upload speed' (!) of my internet service to deliver streaming content, and if my service had a low UPLOAD speed (..like any basic cable modem service base package has) that is what causes the freezes and the bad Netflix performance. I told him he is trying to pull the wool over his client's heads and he said no he is not - Netflix would be stuck with that lower speed provided. Go figure.. I never got him to define or commit to what he means by 'using the upload speed' - may be it's a kick-back racket where Netflix servers are obligated to 'punish' you for not having a premium package with your local provider and 'reward' you when you do??? May be even worse and my local provider (Time Warner in my case) throttles any incoming streaming content down to the upload speed I are willing to purchase - even though at the high DOWNLOAD speed I have there is NO technical need for this.. and I would not be surprised by either scenario!

Which Is More Important Download Or Upload Speed In Minecraft

Internet's speed is the rate at which you can transfer data over the Internet. As Jonas Wielicki wrote in his answer, this should not be affected by CPU speed, at least not in a noticeable way.

User experience will be affected, though, because when browsing World Wide Web (which are not the same as the Internet - the former means websites, the latter is a global network used to transmit those, but also to send any other data - file transfers, Skype calls etc.) actual display times are more important than download speed.

Fast Internet connections (either over Wi-Fi or cellular connections) are widely available today and download speeds for most sites aren't that important. Here's a screenshot from Chrome's profiler showing load time breakdown for SuperUser on my current hardware and connection:

As you can see, loading takes only 67 milliseconds, while rendering, painting, running scripts and mysterious other tasks add up to one second. Downloading makes only a fraction of entire load time, as clearly visible on the pie chart. Other steps of displaying a website heavily depend on hardware, so CPU will matter when browsing.

So hardware is important if you're going to use that device for browsing WWW. There is no mobile CPU that will be definitely 'fast enough'. The higher the frequency is, the better it will perform. Number of cores also matters. Other factors may limit the CPU, like amount of RAM, its speed, storage memory's speed, operating system version and modifications applied by manufacturer.

Not for speeds you currently get via wireless, if you don’t end up having a extraordinary bad wireless chipset.

Machines with about 1 GHz may have problems with gigabit speeds and bad ethernet chipsets (I have heard such reports from people with homeserver systems), but wireless is still some factors away from that.

Mobile internet is even farther away from gigabit speeds, so no issues should occur here.

If you are running TCP speed tests it has a lot to do on your CPU.

1: Open up task manager, have a look at your CPU2: Open up Chrome, have a look at your CPU.3: Run a speed test and see the CPU rise.

If you have an old CPU and its maxed out at 100% the test would not be able to show you the full speed you could receive.Run on a new CPU and it will show better numbers.

Again this is just when you run speed tests, the internet would always be the same speed as you receive it from the ISP, it just means some computers can not handle the JAVA, Flash downloads.

Genetics books free download pdf. CPU makes a huge difference, unless it's my RAM..not sure, but the difference between these 2 machines is absolutely phenomenal, I'm talking up to 4 times fast

Laptop:with 6 Gigs RamIntel B960 CPU

VS.

Desktop:16 GiGS rami5-8400 CPU

Mega difference, now is it the RAM or CPU? Not sure, but it doesn't take ram to open up single pages I think, and I did tests with both machines idling at under 2 gigs or RAM

It will definitely affect the download and upload speed as the processor will be required to crunch all that data and process it to be shown to u accordingly using various softwares like Java etc. even the latency affects your PC performance try uploading and downloading while using a data crunching software. And u will get different speeds using different devices at the same location. So even a minor change in the configuration will be reflected. Try testing it on two different devices at the same time and u will see a the difference

I have tested the CPU effect on Internet speed myself. I tested a single core desktop, duo core laptop, quadcore cellphone, and quadcore tablet, same specs on the phone and tablet.

I get 17.1 mb download on the phone and tablet, but only 6mb download on the single core computer. The tablet has even reached 34mb download, when it is in the same room as the wifi router.

The desktop single core had 4 gigs of RAM. The tablet and phone quadcore have only slightly more than 1 gig of RAM, and they are both almost maxed out. So CPU is the only major factor.

As for the duo core laptop, it has similar download speed to the desktop, but maybe about 5 mbs faster.

CPU matters.

My desktop, laptops AND Smartphones can utilize 98 Mb/sec of my cable's 100 Mb/sec throughput modem, but tablets, and Chromebook (Android ~ but so are Smartphones ?) only obtain 50 Mb/sec download. This is true for 2.4 MHz or 5.0 MHz wi-fi... Smartphones and Laptops are as fast as hardwired Ethernet on desktop!
