BROADBAND BASICS - SPEED/QUALITY TEST
The New Mexico Broadband Program (NMBBP) recommends that you conduct this Speed Test repeatedly during the week and at difference times in the day. The NMBBP is gathering anonymous data by area, mapping results, and aggregating into categories to assess level of services within New Mexico. Please be assured individual addresses are not shared, yet speed information will be aggregated into neighborhood blocks to provide a picture of broadband performance area by area. This data will assist planning and funding requests for building more access to broadband. http://nmbbmapping.org/speedtest/

Glossary of Terms
- Bandwidth: the rate at which data can be transmitted between your computer and the testing servers.
- kbps or kb/s: kilobits per second - a measure of Bandwidth. File sizes are normally indicated in terms of "bytes"; one byte is equal to 8 bits. In other words, 1000 kilobits per second is equal to 125 kilobytes per second.
- Mbps or Mb/s: Megabits per second - another measure of Bandwidth. One Megabit is equal to 1024 kilobits.
- Packet: a unit of data capable of being routed through a computer network.
- Latency: the time it takes for a single packet of data to be sent from your computer to the testing server and back (the "round trip" time). This is measured in milliseconds, or thousandths of a second.
- Jitter: a measure of the variability in Latency.
