Upload and download speeds are measured in Mbps, which stands for megabits per second. For these measurements, a higher number is better. You can think of Mbps like horsepower in a car. The more Mbps, the faster your internet speed. According to the FCC’s household broadband guide, advanced internet users need download speeds exceeding 25 Mbps and upload speeds exceeding 3 Mbp. However, if your household uses more than four devices at a time — and if anyone games, streams high-definition (HD) movies, or uses other high-demand applications — you’ll need much faster speeds to ensure maximum dependability and responsiveness.
