Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Suppose a bandwidth test of your Internet tells you that your download speed is 40 megabytes per second and that your upload speed is 6 megabytes per second. Which of the following are NOT possible explanations for this difference?
A
The ISP controls this so sites download as fast as possible for users
B
More information is downloaded per second that uploaded per second
C
A download has greater latency than an upload
D
An upload has less latency than a download
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For a 40 Mbps download speed, you can use an upload speed of up to 4 Mbps. Here are the upload speeds required for video conferencing on different platforms: Skype HD calls: 1.5 Mbps. Zoom one-on-one HQ calls: 0.6 Mbps.

Detailed explanation-2: -MBps indicates the real-time download and upload speed of a particular activity such as gaming, video streaming, images download, etc. Say your internet connectivity is 100 Mbps. Then the download speed will be = 100 Mbps/8 = 12.5 MBps.

Detailed explanation-3: -Megabits per second (Mbps) are units of measurement for network bandwidth and throughput. They are used to show how fast a network or internet connection is. Each Mbps represents the capacity to transfer 1 million bits each second, or roughly one small photo per second. It may also be expressed as Mbit/s or Mb/s.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most broadband Internet connections have dedicated bandwidth for both uploads and downloads. If your Internet plan is described as “100 Mbps up/10 Mbps down”, for example, you actually have a total of 110 Mbps available, though 10 Mbps is dedicated to uploads.
