Internet Speed at a Glance is a lightweight speed test which gives you a quick and rough indication of your current internet speed.

If you want to know your internet speed in detail, it is best to use Google Fiber (source: The Ultimate Speed Test Test). If it turns out that your internet speed is too slow, use the internet speed test recommended by your ISP before complaining about the internet speed offered.
Internet Speed at a Glance measures your internet speed, or better said gives an indication of your bandwidth, like all other speed tests, in megabits per second (Mbps).
This is a better indicator than the speed of a bit in meters per second. Firstly you don’t know what the distance is the bit has to travel on the internet. Secondly all information at the internet travels almost at the speed of light.
The latency time is the time you have to wait before your request for information is sent to, and adequate handled by, the webserver (and all routers between you and the webserver).
Your latency is currently undetermined.
