14. What is the difference between upload and download speeds and why do they differ?
Upload describes when data packets are sent (e.g. emails) from your computer and download describes when data
packets are received via the Internet. For most people, downloading data for information retrieval (such as viewing a
website) is the primary function of their internet connection so most Internet service Providers will assign a higher
download bandwidth (equating to a higher speed) than that assigned for uploading data. The speeds at which upload
and download operate depend on the way you use the Internet and the size of files you send and receive.
