About Internet Speed Test
Internet Speed Test measures how fast your connection really is: download, upload, ping and jitter, with a live graph while it runs and a full result in about 25 seconds.
Instead of leaving you with numbers, it tells you what the connection can handle: browsing, HD and 4K streaming, video calls, online gaming and large uploads, each marked as fine, borderline or not enough.
Your last five results stay in this browser, so you can compare Wi-Fi with cable, rooms or times of day without writing anything down.
Key Features
- Download and upload: both directions measured in megabits per second, the unit providers advertise.
- Ping and jitter: response time and how much it varies, the figures that matter for calls and games.
- Live graph: watch the speed through the test and see whether it holds steady or drops.
- What it handles: a plain verdict for streaming, calls, gaming and uploads.
- Result history: your recent results are kept in this browser for comparison.
- Stop any time: the test ends the moment you press Stop.
How to Use
- Close other downloads: pause streaming, updates and cloud sync for an accurate figure.
- Press Start test: ping is measured first, then download, then upload.
- Watch the graph: the numbers update live and settle as each phase finishes.
- Read the verdict: see which activities your connection handles comfortably.
- Compare: test again from another room or over cable and compare with your recent results.
Common Use Cases
- Checking your plan: compare the result with the speed your provider sells you.
- Wi-Fi trouble: test near the router and far from it to find dead spots.
- Before a call or stream: make sure upload and ping are good enough to go live.
- Gaming lag: check ping and jitter, which matter more for games than raw speed.
- Provider complaints: collect results at different times of day as evidence of a slow line.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good internet speed?
For one person, 25 Mbps down handles 4K streaming and 3 Mbps up handles video calls. A household with several people streaming and working from home is comfortable from about 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up.
What are ping and jitter?
Ping is the time a small message takes to reach a server and come back, in milliseconds. Jitter is how much that time varies. Under 50 ms ping and 15 ms jitter is good for gaming and calls.
Why is my result lower than my plan?
Wi-Fi distance and interference, other devices using the connection, an old router or cable, and busy evening hours all lower the figure. Test over a cable to see what the line itself delivers.
Why is upload slower than download?
Most home connections are built that way: cable and DSL plans give much less upload than download. Fibre plans are often equal in both directions.
How much data does a test use?
It depends on your speed: tens of MB on a slow line, up to a few hundred MB on a fast one. Keep that in mind on a metered mobile plan.
Is my result stored?
Your recent results are saved only in your own browser so you can compare them. They are not sent anywhere else.
Pro Tips
- Use a cable for the true figure: Wi-Fi results show the room, a cable shows the line.
- Test at different times: evening results show whether your provider slows down when the area is busy.
- Restart the router: if speed drops over days, a restart often brings it back.
- Check the 5 GHz band: it is much faster than 2.4 GHz near the router.
- Watch jitter for calls: a fast line with high jitter still gives choppy video.
