If not completely understood it affects the quality and accuracy of the final decision. So ... it's important to get it right.

When you bypass the local phone company you cut out an expensive transport step. Having direct access to customers is a carrier's goal as it allows them to control the user's experience from end to end while reducing cost. These savings are passed on to you.

The largest networks may use their size and dominance to hinder growth and innovation within the Internet-connect business community or impede free access to Internet-connected content sources, and with have the power and control which could present challenges to an open Internet environment.

That's for the best, since two of the worthwhile points the piece makes would be obscured if readers were knee-high in bits and bytes. The takeaway is that the dramatic stresses on the Internet - in the form of both a higher volume of data and the need to support far more finicky convergence applications - is being met by an equal growth in the technology. In other words, demands are growing, but so are the Internet's capabilities.

The download speed is the most important because we usually transfer files from Internet to our computer, but there are cases when we need a high upload speed. We may test our internet speed in the manual way, by calculating the time our computer needs to transfer a file of a known size, but this is the old method.

Firstly, when your Internet Service Provider advertised your, for example, 8 Mb package what they meant was that your optimum speed was 8 Mb. That means that barring any interference between your PC and your router, distance from the exchange, line quality, applications running on your PC, and of course your contention ratio, that you should theoretically get speeds of 8 Mb.

These have arisen in response to the growing difference between the speeds advertised by Internet Service Providers (ISP's) and the speeds actually received by consumers. More and more customers are finding that their speeds are far lower than what they are paying for and research by Moneysupermarket.com in 2007 showed that 44% of 43,000 customers were receiving only a pitiful HALF of the advertised speeds for their internet connections. This massive difference between advertised and received speeds has finally caught the attention of communication regulator OFCOM.
