How Fast Are You Going? Use Our Wi-Fi & Internet Speed Test
How to Make Sense of Your Internet Speed Test Results.
Ran a speed test and not sure what all the numbers mean? You’re not alone. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or just browsing, understanding your internet speed results can help you make smarter decisions about your Wi-Fi setup or router. Here’s a quick guide to help you interpret your speed test results.
What is Upload & Download Speed?
Upload speed tells you how fast your device can send data to the internet. This matters most for tasks like video calling, uploading files, or live streaming. Like download speed, it’s measured in Mbps, or megabits per second. Many ISPs offer slower upload speeds than download speeds, especially with cable or DSL connections. If you regularly upload large files or work with video, it’s worth checking this number.
Download speed measures how quickly data moves from the internet to your device. It affects things like streaming video, loading websites, and downloading files. If your download speed is slow, you might experience buffering during Netflix or lag in video calls. The higher the number (measured in Mbps), the faster your device can receive content.
What are Ping and Jitter?
Ping is a network tool that measures how long it takes for a message to travel between two devices. It's often used to test connectivity and troubleshoot network issues. Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms) and tells you how quickly your device gets a response from the server. A lower ping means a more responsive connection, which is important for gaming and video calls.
Jitter is the variation in ping over time. High jitter can cause stuttering in video and audio streams. Ideally, jitter should be as low as possible.

An internet speed test measures how fast your internet can send and receive data. It can also measure how long it takes to get a response from a server.
To get the most accurate internet speed test results, try running the test at different times of day, use a wired Ethernet connection if possible, restart your gateway (modem and router) beforehand, and limit other devices using Wi-Fi during the test.
Consistent results can help you see whether your current internet plan is delivering what you need. Or help you decide if it’s time to troubleshoot or consider an upgrade.

The answer depends on how many devices are connected to your Wi-Fi and what you use the internet for. We recommend 1 Gig (1,000 Mbps) or higher for both download and upload speeds to provide enough bandwidth for all home users, whether they game or stream, and everything in between.
Keep in mind that Wi-Fi performance also depends on your modem router setup, distance from the router, and interference from walls or other devices.
It depends on the number of devices being connected at the same time in one household as well as their usage. We recommend 1 Gig or higher on BOTH download and upload speeds to provide enough bandwidth for all users in the home, whether they game or stream and everything in between.

"ms" is the abbreviation for milliseconds, a unit of time that is one thousandth of a second. In other words, one millisecond is equal to 0.001 seconds.
Mbps stands for megabits per second, a unit of measurement for internet speed. It's used to measure how fast data is transferred between a device and the internet.
Your IP address is a unique number identifying your device or network on the internet. It’s like your online “home address,” letting websites and services know where to send data. During a speed test, your IP address helps determine the nearest testing server for accurate results.
Slow internet speeds can be caused by several factors, including Wi-Fi interference, outdated equipment, network congestion, or too many devices using the connection at once. Restarting your router and running a speed test can help identify the issue and fix the problem.
Your actual internet speed may not always match your plan due to network traffic, distance from your Wi-Fi router, or device limitations under real-world conditions.
Remember that multiple devices using the same Wi-Fi network can also slow down your internet speed, especially if they’re streaming, downloading, or gaming at the same time. Each device shares your available bandwidth, so the more connected activity happening at once, the slower your speeds may feel.
