Network Range and Speed

The average internet download speed is between 12 to 25 Mbps. There are 3 options for internet speed: basic service from 3 to 8 Mbps, advanced service exceeding 25 Mbps, and average service from 12 to 25 Mbps. To determine the best option, research both download and upload speeds and consider how internet will be used and number of simultaneous users/devices. Moderate internet use includes activities like streaming HD video, online gaming, video calls, and telecommuting in addition to basic tasks like email and news.

1. Warming up. Having general knowledge, answer the questions:


A) Do you have wireless or wired network at home?
B) What is a good internet speed?

2. Reading. Read the text and answer the questions


Internet speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). There's no such thing as one
perfect internet speed, but in general, the higher your Mbps, the better internet you have. The
speed you want will depend on what you use the internet for, and how many gadgets will be
using the internet at once.
For example, checking your email takes up less internet bandwidth (in other words, needs
less speed) than downloading files or streaming a video.
You probably don't use the internet for just one activity at a time — in fact, you probably
don't even use one device at a time.
To help you know what speeds you'll need, here's a guide:
The average internet download speed is from 12 to 25 Mbps.
There are 3 options: "Basic" service will go from 3 to 8 Mbps download speed, while
"advanced" service will exceed 25 Mbps. Research both download and upload speeds to figure
out your best option. Be aware of how you're using the internet, and how that breaks down in the
grand scheme of things.
Light use: You only use the internet for basic things like email, reading news, basic
video, voice calls, and music streaming.
Moderate use: You use all the things included in the "Light" use category, as well as one
of the following — streaming HD video, multi-party video conferencing, online gaming, or
telecommuting.
High use: You do all of the things included in the "Light" use category, and more than
one of the "Moderate" uses.
If you plan on moderate use, you're likely going to want to go with those average speeds
in the 12 to 25 Mbps range. If your household consists of a single user on one device at a time,
and you fall into the moderate use category, you could probably get away with basic service
speeds. On the other hand, if you have four or more users or devices at a time, or you frequently
stream 4K video or transfer large files, you'd probably want to upgrade to advanced service
speeds.
1. What is the average internet download speed?
2. How many options are there for the internet speed?
3. What should we do to know the best option?
4. What does the “moderate use” mean?

3. Vocabulary. Write 8 sentences with the highlighted words in the text: to measure, to
depend on, bandwidth, to figure out, to exceed, telecommuting, to fall into, to get away.
4. Listening. Watch the video “Understanding internet speed” and answer the questions
below.
1. What is a bandwidth?
2. Why can the Internet be slow?
3. What thing can interrupt the bandwidth?
4. What can we do when we have more bandwidth?
5. Translate the words “buffered” and “choppy”.
