Internet Speed Test
Test your download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter
Understanding Your Results
Download Speed
How fast data travels from the internet to your device. Important for streaming, browsing, and downloading files.
- 5-25 Mbps: Basic browsing, SD streaming
- 25-100 Mbps: HD streaming, gaming
- 100+ Mbps: 4K streaming, large downloads
Upload Speed
How fast data travels from your device to the internet. Important for video calls, uploading files, and live streaming.
- 2-10 Mbps: Video calls, social media
- 10-50 Mbps: HD video calls, streaming
- 50+ Mbps: Professional streaming, cloud backup
Ping (Latency)
The time it takes for data to travel to a server and back. Lower is better, especially for gaming and video calls.
- <20ms: Excellent for gaming
- 20-50ms: Good for most uses
- >100ms: Noticeable delay
Jitter
The variation in ping times. High jitter causes choppy video calls and lag spikes in games.
- <5ms: Stable connection
- 5-15ms: Acceptable variation
- >30ms: May cause issues
Tips to Improve Your Speed
Use Ethernet
Wired connections are faster and more stable than WiFi.
Restart Your Router
A simple restart can fix many connection issues.
Check for Interference
Other devices and appliances can slow WiFi.
Update Equipment
Old routers may not support modern speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this internet speed test?
Our speed test measures real download and upload throughput by transferring data to nearby servers. For best accuracy, close other tabs and applications, use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi, and run the test multiple times at different hours.
What is a good internet speed?
For basic browsing and email, 10-25 Mbps is sufficient. HD streaming needs 25-50 Mbps, while 4K streaming and online gaming benefit from 100+ Mbps. Households with multiple devices should aim for 200+ Mbps.
What is ping and jitter?
Ping (latency) measures the round-trip time for data to reach a server and return — lower is better. Jitter measures the variation in ping times. For gaming, aim for under 20ms ping and under 5ms jitter.
Why is my internet slower than what I pay for?
Wi-Fi interference, network congestion during peak hours, outdated router firmware, too many connected devices, and distance from your router can all reduce speeds. Try a wired connection to rule out Wi-Fi issues.
