Background Info.
For this project, students will conduct some Internet speed tests to collect data. Students will enter this data into an Excel spreadsheet to organize the data. After all students have entered their data, students will learn how to add important formulas to analyze the data. Students will also learn to create charts and graphs using the data.
Please use the following website to conduct the speed test: Speedtest.net.
You will need to perform four Internet speed tests using different servers. The servers used should be as follows:
- One in Jacksonville, FL.
- One in any U.S. state other than Florida.
- One not in the U.S. but in the Western hemisphere (i.e. Canada, Mexico, Central or South America)
- One in the Eastern hemisphere (Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa).
The data you will need to record is as follows:
- First Name, Last Initial
- Date
- Time
- Your ISP
- Server ISP
- Server City
- Server State (If Applicable)
- Server Country
- Ping (ms)
- Download (Mbps)
