Internet Speed Test

1. Close any downloads and videos, then click Start test.
2. Please wait about 20 seconds. We’ll measure your ping, then download speed, and finally upload speed.
3. See your results in megabits per second (Mbps) and find out what you can do with your connection.

What this test measures (and what it doesn’t)

This test measures the speed between your device and this site’s server. We download and upload disposable data for about 8 seconds in each direction, using multiple connections at once, and ignore the start of each measurement while the connection is still ramping up. No personal data is sent, and the test data is random.

Because the server is at a specific point on the internet, your result may be lower than your plan’s advertised speed if there’s a bottleneck on the route to the server or if your connection is faster than the server can handle. To report a problem to your internet provider, use its official speed test, which measures the connection to the provider’s own network.

How to read your results

• Download: How fast you receive data, such as videos, websites, and files. This is the speed most often advertised in internet plans.
• Upload: How fast you send data, such as video calls, photo uploads, and cloud backups.
• Ping (latency): The round-trip time to the server. Under 50 ms is great for gaming and calls.
• Jitter: How much your ping fluctuates. High jitter can cause interruptions during calls, even when your connection speed is good.

With Wi-Fi, distance from the router and walls can significantly reduce your speed. To see how fast your plan is, test with an Ethernet cable.
