How is the Traffic on the Internet Today?

Response Time in reference to Internet traffic is how long it takes for a chunk of data to travel from point A to point B and back (round trip). A typical response time on the Internet is 100 ms, which is 100 milliseconds (thousandths of a second) = 1/10th of one second. Click here for steps to determine your response time.

The Internet Traffic Report monitors the response time of traffic over the Internet. Data from the monitoring results is analyzed and then the program displays a value between zero and 100. Higher values indicate that the Internet is capable of faster and more reliable connections at that time. Click on the image below to access their website.
