Internet Speed Test | Check Broadband Speed

Check your internet speed with our free online broadband speed test and see how fast your connection really is.

Check Your Internet Speed

Use the speed test below to see how your current internet connection is performing. For the best results, close any downloads, streaming services, or other apps that may be using your internet connection before beginning the test.

What Does the Speed Test Check?

An internet speed test typically measures several aspects of your connection:
Download Speed – The amount of data downloaded from the internet to your device.
Upload Speed – The amount of data uploaded from your device to the internet.
Ping / Latency – The time it takes for your device to communicate with the speed test server.
Overall Connection Performance – An indication of how your connection is performing at the time of the test.

How to Get Accurate Speed Test Results

To get more accurate results:

Connect your computer directly to your modem or router using an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.
Avoid uploading, downloading, or streaming video during the test.
If using Wi-Fi, make sure your computer or phone is within good range of the router.
Turn off or disconnect devices that are not currently in use.
Run the test multiple times and compare the results.

Your speed test result may vary depending on network congestion, Wi-Fi signal strength, router performance, device performance, and the test server.

What Is a Good Internet Speed?

Internet speed requirements vary depending on how you use the internet. Basic web browsing and email require much less bandwidth than HD or 4K streaming, online gaming, video conferencing, and other data-intensive activities.

If you’re consistently getting much lower results than the speed included in your internet plan, check your router and Wi-Fi connection. You can also contact your internet service provider for assistance.

Run the test above to check your current internet speed and broadband connection performance.
