The internet speed is measured in Mbps (megabytes per second); the higher the value, the faster the internet access speed.

How is it possible for a seemingly unintelligent device in IT terms to connect to the internet?

To connect to the internet you have to have 3 things. Internet account A connection to the internet (phoneline, cable modem, dsl, wireless) a program that will activate the port that is connected to the internet. If there is no physical connection to the internet (phone line, network cable, wireless card) then the 'seemingly unintelligent device) can not connect. What type of device is this? Is there a phoneline/network cable plugged into it? Is there wireless access capability on this device? Do you have Wireless internet at the site this device is at? Let me know, and I may be able to answer the question.

What is the difference between speed and bandwidth?

Difference between Internet speed and bandwidthInternet speed and bandwidth are technically different. Bandwidth is referring the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time through the network while speed is the time taken to reach the data (in form of packets) from source to destination. So we can see bandwidth is a fixed one while network speed can vary. Network speed depends on many factors like the protocol using to send data, server efficiency ,network conjunction etc. In practical life auser feels the Internet speed by downloading certain files from server to his computer. Yes it is true high bandwidth really helps to download the file faster but there are some other factors are there. If he is downloading the file (consider a bigfile like video) from a slow server, he feels his Internet speed is very less. Actually his Internet bandwidth is good enough but the speed of data transfer is limited by the response delay of the remote server.Another factor really affect the Internet speed is the kind of protocol they use. The speed of data transfer vary depends on whether this connection is using a connection oriented protocol (TCP) or connection less protocol (UDP). As there is no error detection and synchronizing ,data transfer using UDP is always faster than the same in TCP. Here Internet bandwidth is a constant but the Internet speed vary.So in a nutshell Internet speed and Internet bandwidth are different. Internet bandwidth is the one which is assigned by your ISP and which is a constant (as long as your ISP keeps its promise) while Internet speed vary with remote server and theprotocol they use to send data.bandwidth is just a pipe and the speed is the amount of water that passes through...byeeeeee.....evanzdoh@yahoo.com

Speed of your net access is defined in terms of what?

The speed of internet access is typically defined in terms of data transfer rates, usually measured in bits per second (bps) or a variation of it like kilobits per second (kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps). This measurement quantifies how quickly data can be transmitted between the user's device and the internet.

What is the country with the best access to the internet?

'Best' is a subjective term. If speaking of which country has the highest rate of access to the internet, the answer would be Finland. It has been a legal requirement that residents have access to broadband since 2010. The country with the fastest internet speed is South Korea. The US is 12th in terms of speed. When considering the most internet users, China is the highest rated.


Singapore is the best country for IT?

Difference between broadband and wideband?

The terms "wideband" and "broadband" mean the same thing. It simply means that a signal or noise or channel has a wide bandwidth. Speed is the simple answer to the difference between broadband internet access and wideband internet access, but it is really more than that. Wideband is a fairly new level of high speed internet access that allows much smoother video streaming and gaming interaction via the internet. TimeWarner has introduced it for residential customers in New York City.


Why do scientists keep revising the definition of the meter?

As scientists study new areas the meter is involved in these new areas and new definitions in terms of the new areas are defined. The original meter was defined in terms of the earth studies, as electricity was studied, the speed of light became important and the meter was defined in terms of the speed of light. As science expands the definitions of the meter will expand.
