Okay so I want to know things like what is Bandwidth and all that stuff.

Here is my speedtest results: http://www.speedtest.net/result/1008530274.png

I would like to know what the parts of the speedtest are and what it means.

Thanks. :D

Download = download speed
Upload = upload speed
Ping = network latency
ISP = self explanatory

Download speed is how many MB per second it takes to download, right?

Upload speed is how many MB per second it takes to upload?

I don't know what Ping really means though. I think it has to do with packets, but that's all I know.

Is this a joke?
I would hope a self-proclaimed nerd knows what Download, Upload, Ping, etc. mean. :-k
