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:
- fast.com (Netflix) – Simple, no sign-up
- speedtest.net (Ookla) – Download, upload, ping
- speed.cloudflare.com – Cloudflare 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.
