Ping (Latency)

ms

Excellent - Perfect for competitive gaming Very good - Great for online gaming Good - Suitable for video calls Acceptable - Noticeable lag in gaming Poor - High latency, may affect real-time applications

Jitter

Excellent - Very stable connection Good - Stable for most applications Acceptable - OK for most uses Poor - Inconsistent connection

Tips for Best Results

For the most accurate results, close other applications and browser tabs that might be using your internet connection. Connect directly via Ethernet cable when possible, and test at different times of day.

How This Tool Works

Our internet speed test works by measuring various aspects of your connection:

  • Download Speed: Measures how quickly data is transferred from the internet to your device. This affects streaming quality, download times, and general browsing speed.
  • Upload Speed: Measures how quickly data is transferred from your device to the internet. This affects video calls, file uploads, and social media posting.
  • Ping (Latency): Measures the time it takes for data to travel from your device to a server and back. Lower ping means more responsive connections for gaming and video calls.
  • Jitter: Measures the variability in ping over time. Lower jitter means a more stable and consistent connection.

The test works by:

  1. Detecting your closest test server
  2. Performing a ping test to measure latency and jitter
  3. Downloading a series of files to test download throughput
  4. Uploading test data to measure upload capacity
  5. Analyzing and presenting the results

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my speed test result different from what my ISP advertises?

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) typically advertise speeds as "up to" a certain value under ideal conditions. Actual speeds can be affected by many factors including: network congestion, the quality of your home network equipment, Wi-Fi interference, the number of devices sharing your connection, and the distance from your ISP's infrastructure. Additionally, some ISPs may prioritize traffic to specific speed test services, which can result in those tests showing higher speeds than you actually experience in day-to-day usage.

How can I improve my internet speed?

To improve your internet speed, try these steps: (1) Restart your modem and router, (2) Position your router centrally and away from interference, (3) Use wired Ethernet connections for important devices when possible, (4) Upgrade to newer Wi-Fi standards (like Wi-Fi 6), (5) Check for background downloads or uploads on your network, (6) Update router firmware, (7) Contact your ISP if speeds are consistently below what you're paying for, and (8) Consider upgrading your service plan if available.

What's a good internet speed?

What constitutes a "good" internet speed depends on your needs. For basic web browsing and email, 5-10 Mbps may be sufficient. For HD video streaming, 15-25 Mbps is recommended. Households with multiple users streaming, gaming, and video conferencing simultaneously should aim for 50-100 Mbps or more. For 4K streaming, at least 25 Mbps per stream is recommended. Upload speeds of 5-10 Mbps are adequate for video calls and basic file sharing, while content creators uploading large files may need 20+ Mbps. Gaming is more dependent on low ping (under 50ms) than high speeds.

Tips and Best Practices

For more accurate speed test results:

  • Close all other applications and browser tabs to avoid competing for bandwidth
  • Test while directly connected to your router via Ethernet cable (when possible)
  • Try testing at different times of day (peak vs. off-peak hours)
  • Perform multiple tests and compare results for consistency
  • If using Wi-Fi, test in the same location where you normally use your devices
  • Restart your router and modem before testing if you haven't done so recently
  • Consider testing on multiple devices to identify device-specific limitations
