"Ping" and "jitter" in speed tests don't clearly explain what they are or how they differ from each other

Summary

Nutrition label

77% Informative

"Ping" and "jitter" are specialized jargon , and if you've never heard of them before, most speed tests don't clearly explain what they are.

These measurements reflect the quality of an internet connection, and should not confused with data throughput.
