Introduction
In 2022, the average internet speed across the United States is 119.03 Megabytes per second. That number is an increase from the national average internet speed in 2021, which was 99.3% Megabytes per second. What’s even more astounding is that the average internet speed in the United States, in 2020, was only 42.86 Megabytes per second.
Megabytes per second is a unit of measurement that gives an account of how quickly data transfers to and from computer storage devices, such as a smartphone or laptop.
One way to determine how many Megabytes per second are being transferred to your electric device is to learn what bandwidth, i.e. connection speed, the connection is running on. The greater the bandwidth, the greater the volume of data that can be transferred at an incredibly high rate of speed between the internet and the device you’re using.
