  1. Internet Speed —According to PC Mag, internet speed is the performance of an Internet connection and is based on the rate of bits per second that data travels from a user's device to the internet (upload) and from the internet (download) to a user’s device.
  2. Internet Data — According to TechTerms, internet data is information processed or stored by a computer, such as text documents, images, audio/video clips, software programs or other types of data.
