Understanding Fibre Speeds:
Fibre internet plans are typically described by two numbers: download speed and upload speed, measured in Mbps (megabits per second). For example, a 100/20 plan means 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload.
Download speed affects how fast you can receive data from the internet (e.g. streaming videos, loading websites).
Upload speed affects how fast you can send data to the internet (e.g. video calls, uploading files).
