Speedtest is provided by UFIT and is a web service that provides analysis of Internet access performance metrics, such as connection data rate and latency.
The service measures the bandwidth (speed) and latency of a visitor's Internet connection on a server within the University's network to assure results are measured properly.
Each test measures the data rate for the download direction, i.e. from the server to the user computer, and the upload data rate, i.e. from the user's computer to the server.
