I would like to know what is Internet Access Speed .
We can use speedtest.net or other similar online services to test our internet access speed , to check whether the speed meet what we subcribed (pay) for .

I like to know when we "measure " the "Internet access speed", are we only measure the speed between our home's modem and Local ISP ???
(2)
If the "Internet access speed " is only measured between home's modem to Local ISP, how about "WAN Speed" ( the data flow through WAN ) , how to measure WAN Speed .
If I confuse you on this second question , please let me know , i will try to describe one more time .
Speed on the public internet is quite variable. It depends on the traffic between two points and what speeds the two points have available to them. If you are the only connecting to the server that a web site is on, you should get a pretty quick response. If you are 1 of 10,000, it could be a lot slower. If you have a blazing fast 50Mbps connection and a web site only has a T1 at 1.544Mbps, the slower connection will set the limit.
