A speedtest is a common method used to measure the speed of your internet service.
The measurement is taken between your device and a test server, by calculating the time it takes to download (and upload) ‘n set amount of data over your internet connection. Therefore the results would only show the available (unused) bandwidth, at the time of testing and not include the portion of capacity in use by other devices or applications.
Because of the way internet communication (TCP/IP protocol) works, a small portion of your bandwidth is used by packet headers, therefore actual speed test results will be 5-10% less than your actual package speed.
