How is my computer "speed" ?

I have a cheap HP laptop and pretty basic internet.
(Hey ~ I'm old and poor)

I use it mostly for surfing the net, email, checking my bank accounts, and YouTube.
No gaming, but was doing NetFlix.

I just tested my download and upload speed and the results are:

download speed 97.2 Mbps

upload speed 6.2 Mbps

Thanks

Or maybe get slower speeds and save money. For what you do, 50 or even 20 Mbps is enough. tableturner May 2018 #7
