The speed of our Internet largely determines how we connect to the network and how we will be productive, that is, a slow network will prevent processes, sites and jobs from occurring naturally, while good Internet speed will help that everything is within the natural execution times. If our Internet connection is fast, we make sure that access to different web services is much faster, even though it also depends on the origin server..
Our Internet provider (ISP) offers us a number of MB upload and download, but it is possible that for technical reasons at many times this speed is not correct, if you want to know the real Internet speed with Ubuntu 20 TechnoWikis you will tell how to know in real time.
