Internet is a group of billions of computers connected through wired and wireless connections. These connections are made possible through the launch of a wide-area network, also called as WAN. The Internet operates through the use of heavy cables installed through the sea from one country to another. These cables transmit terabytes of data per second between countries and continents. The data transmitted through the wires occur between billions of machines connected to the Internet. Each device sends and receives pieces of information, which is also called upload and download. Uploading is when a computer sends data or request to another computer. Downloading is when a computer receives chunks of data from some other machine which is placed on some other place in the world.
Each computer connected to the internet is connected via some Internet service provider. In fact, the whole internet works in the way that home or office users get internet connection from some company operating locally to provide internet service to users to enable them to share information globally.
Each ISP operating in the area provides internet to users based on different pricing models. The more a user pays, the high internet speed they get. Different internet plans include various bandwidth and connection speed. The connection speed is also called internet speed.
The PTCL speed test is a service which checks the internet connection speed for PTCL Internet connection. The internet connection speed is determined by sending chunks of data to a server which resides somewhere else in the world and connected to the internet. The amount of time it takes to upload the data is called Upload Speed at which the data of specified Megabytes uploads from one machine to another.
On the other hand, the time taken by a device to receive data from the other computer which is connected to the internet is called the internet connection download speed. The bandwidth of an internet connection is the total upload and download data (in MBs or GBs) allowed by the Internet service provider.
PTCL Internet speed can be measured with this easy to use tool. This speed test tool measures your PTCL broadband upload and download speed (The rate at which a file uploads and downloads via your internet connection). Normally, the connection speed is measured to check if your actual internet speed matches with what you are paying your ISP for. Sometimes, the connection speed drops by mistake because of the mistake of ISP, i.e they accidently switched your connection from 4MB to 2MB. So, this test proves helpful to show your ISP the stats about your actual connection speed.
Multiple factors are involved, which affects your internet connection speed. A few of the physical factors are extreme weather, exposed copper wires, nearby heavy transmission cables, broken or weak LAN wire or weak wireless LAN signals.
To check PTCL Internet broadband speed, just click "Start" button above to start measuring your real-time internet connection speed. Its so simple and easy to measure speed and you can also share your internet test results with your friends on the go.
