Unfortunately, we don’t live in such a world. In a perfect world, your internet connection would always be at its top speed, and you would never experience any slowdowns and connectivity issues. Your download speed doesn’t determine just how long it takes you to download files, but also how long it takes websites to load because every website is really just a collection of various assets which must be downloaded for the website to load correctly. Ping is not too important when browsing the web or downloading files from the internet, but it’s critical when streaming audio and video or playing games. Just like when testing download speed, multiple connections are typically established to increase the accuracy of the test.
