Internet Connection Speed Test

This internet speed test measures your connection’s download speed, upload speed, ping (latency) and jitter in real time. If your broadband, Wi-Fi or mobile connection feels slow, start here to check your actual speed in Mbps.

Why test your internet speed?

Buffering videos, slow page loads and dropped video calls usually come down to your connection speed. Running a speed test regularly shows whether you are getting the speed you pay for, helps you spot Wi-Fi or router problems, and gives you the data to decide whether to upgrade your plan or change your setup.

How to test your internet speed (10 seconds)

  1. Click the “Start Speed Test” button above.
  2. Wait about 10 seconds while we measure download, upload, ping and jitter.
  3. Review your results and the tailored tips to improve your connection.

What is a good internet speed?

Around 10 Mbps is fine for browsing and social media, about 25 Mbps for HD video, and 50–100 Mbps or more for 4K streaming and online gaming. A ping under 50 ms and low jitter mean a stable connection.

Understanding your results

Download
The speed at which data is downloaded from the server. This affects video streaming and file downloads.
Upload
The speed at which data is uploaded to the server. This affects file sharing and video call quality.
Latency
The response time of server communication. This affects online gaming and video call smoothness.
Jitter
Measures the variation in latency. Lower values indicate more stable communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this speed test free? Do I need to register?

Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up or app installation required. You can run the test as many times as you like from your browser.

What is a good internet speed?

For most everyday use, 25 Mbps download or more is comfortable. For 4K streaming, online gaming or multiple users, aim for 100 Mbps or higher.

What is the difference between download and upload speed?

Download is how fast you receive data (streaming, loading pages); upload is how fast you send data (file sharing, video calls). Download is usually faster than upload.

What do ping and jitter mean?

Ping is the response time to the server in milliseconds – lower is better for gaming. Jitter is the variation in ping; lower jitter means a more stable connection.

Why is my internet slower than my plan’s advertised speed?

Speeds can drop due to Wi-Fi distance and interference, old routers or cables, many connected devices, peak-hour congestion, or your provider’s network. Test with a wired connection close to the router to see your line’s true speed, then compare it with your plan.

How do I get the most accurate result? (Wi-Fi vs wired)

For the most accurate result, connect by Ethernet cable, pause downloads and streaming on other devices, and stay close to the router. A wired test shows your line’s real speed, while Wi-Fi is affected by distance, walls and interference.

Does the speed test use a lot of data?

The test transfers a small amount of data — usually no more than a few hundred MB — to measure your speed. On a limited mobile plan, run it over Wi-Fi to avoid using up your data allowance.
