Internet Speed Test

Test your internet download and upload speed. Use a wired connection for the most accurate result; WiFi can vary.

Run a Speed Test

Open one of these sites in your browser to run a free speed test:

Click “Go” or “Start” and wait for the test to finish. You will see download (Mbps), upload (Mbps), and often ping (latency in ms).

What the Numbers Mean

  • Download speed – How fast you receive data (streaming, browsing, downloads).
  • Upload speed – How fast you send data (video calls, uploads).
  • Ping / Latency – Delay in ms; lower is better for gaming and video calls.

If Your Speed Is Low

  • Restart your router and modem.
  • Use Ethernet instead of WiFi when possible.
  • Close other apps and devices using the internet.
  • Try a different DNS (see DNS Settings).
  • Check with your ISP that your plan and line are correct.

Understanding Mbps and Latency

Download and upload speed are usually in Mbps (megabits per second). A 100 Mbps plan can typically stream 4K on several devices and download large files quickly. Upload speed is often lower than download on home plans; it matters for video calls, uploading files and live streaming. Ping (latency) is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower is better for gaming and video calls; under 50 ms is usually good, over 100 ms can feel laggy. WiFi and distance from the router can increase latency; Ethernet usually gives the most stable result.
