9.  To sum up, this experiment showed us that internet speed is determined by several factors. It is not something that can be calculated just by bandwidth, or server speed. Different locations have different levels of Internet speed performance depending on the hardware they utilize, their location, and how much traffic is on them at any given time. The class book made me become more familiar with many of the fancy sounding terms that are associated with the Internet. After studying them, we are pleased to say that I am no longer lost in a conversation about dial-up speeds, and DNS servers.

10.  Suppose you work for a company that installs computer networks. Assume that you have been given the task of creating spreadsheets to generate cost estimates.
