Measuring Internet Connection Quality Based on Download Speed, Upload Speed, and Latency Using M-Lab Speed
Abstract
Internet quality is a very important factor to support digital activities such as online learning, for example through zoom. The purpose of this study is to measure the quality of the internet connection based on three parameters: download speed, upload speed, and latency using the M-Lab Speed Test tool using a home network and a cellular network. The stages of this research method consist of Determine Research Object, Prepare Testing Device and Network, Run M-Lab Speed Test, Record, Data Validation and Analysis, Finished. The results of the analysis of the experiment have various variations. Measurements with a home network connection have the highest download speed of 25.79 in the morning. The highest upload speed is during the day with a value of 21.23 Mbps. The lowest latency is also during the day with a value of 29 (ms). For cellular network connections, the highest value is also in the morning with a download speed of 25.05 Mbps, the highest upload speed is also in the morning with a value of 23.16 Mbps. Based on the results of measurements using the MLab Speed Test, it can be concluded that network usage has an impact on the quality of the internet connection. High usage activity at certain times causes a decrease in download and upload speeds.
