When you stream a film, open a website, or receive a photo, data travels <strong>to</strong> your device. When you send a photo, back up files, or transmit your camera feed during a video call, data travels <strong>from</strong> your device.</p> <p>Those two directions are measured separately as <strong>download speed</strong> and <strong>upload speed</strong>. A connection can have plenty of capacity in one direction and much less in the other, which is why a fast-looking internet plan can still struggle with some tasks.</p>
