Broadband performance can be evaluated by conducting an Internet speed test. The speed test determines your Internet connection speed based on the amount of time it takes to upload and download your data. There are many free sites that perform a realtime upload and download speed analysis of your Mac. We have provided one here for your convenience. Note that your results will vary based upon many factors, including the time of day and number of users on your network. However, doing this test periodically and recording the results and date will give you a benchmark of overall performance over time.
