To boost internet speed, use Ethernet, restart your router, optimize placement, upgrade your plan, limit device use, close background apps, update firmware, invest in a quality router, switch Wi-Fi channels, or contact your Internet Service Provider.

In gaming, ping measures the time it takes for data to travel between a player's device and the game server, measured in milliseconds (ms). Low ping (<10ms) means less delay and smoother gameplay, while high ping (>100ms) causes lag. It depends on server distance, internet quality, and network congestion.

Your download speed measures how fast data is transferred from the internet to your device, crucial for playing, streaming, watching streams, and downloading files. Your upload speed measures how fast data is sent from your device to the internet, essential for video calls, gaming, and uploading files. Both are measured in Mbps (megabits per second).

Jitter is the variation in data packet delivery time in gaming. High jitter causes stuttering and lag, while low jitter ensures smooth gameplay. Low jitter means a stable connection with consistent packet delivery. High jitter causes uneven gameplay, such as stuttering, rubber-banding, or desynchronized actions. It's usually caused by network congestion, poor connection quality, or interference.
