Assignment 6 for the “Cloud”

Problem 1: Numerous Web sites are available that will test your Internet data communications speed. You can find one good example at https://speed.measurementlab.net/#/ . (If that site is no longer active, Google “What is my Internet speed?” to find another speed-testing site. Use it.)

a) At home or to a public wireless site, and run the test again. Compute your average upload and download speeds. If you are performing this test at home, are you getting the performance you are paying for? You may try on your cellphone and move your cellphone closer to the wireless router or in the farthest corner. You can also try to disconnect WiFi on your phone and run the test. Below are Professor’s Tests.
