Internet Speed Test
Measure your real download speed, upload speed, ping, jitter, and packet loss — all in one test, in under 30 seconds.
Download Speed
How fast data arrives from the internet to your device. Affects streaming, browsing, and downloads.
Upload Speed
How fast your device sends data to the internet. Affects video calls, file sharing, and live streaming.
Ping
Round-trip time to the test server. Critical for gaming and real-time applications.
Jitter
Variation in ping over time. High jitter causes choppy calls even when average ping looks fine.
Packet Loss
Percentage of data that fails to arrive. Even 1% causes choppy calls and slows TCP connections.
What does a speed test measure?
A speed test saturates your connection with data transfers and measures the throughput. This test uses two parallel download streams to ensure your connection is fully utilised. In addition to download and upload speed, it measures ping, jitter, and packet loss — giving you a complete picture of connection quality. Read our full methodology →
What counts as a good speed?
Minimum download speeds for common use cases:
- 5 Mbps — HD video streaming per device
- 25 Mbps — 4K video streaming per device
- 10 Mbps — HD video calls
- 50 Mbps — household with 3–4 simultaneous users
- 100+ Mbps — comfortable for most households, remote work
- 1 Gbps — large households, home servers, frequent large transfers
See how your speed compares on our Country Rankings, or compare your ISP on the ISP Rankings.
How to get the most accurate result
- Use a wired Ethernet connection — Wi-Fi adds overhead and variability
- Close other applications and browser tabs before testing
- Pause active downloads, cloud sync, or streaming on other devices
- Run the test 2–3 times and compare results
For a full checklist, see our accuracy tips guide.
My result is lower than my plan speed — why?
Wi-Fi signal loss, router hardware limits, background app traffic, and ISP congestion all reduce real-world speed below your plan's advertised figure. A wired test at off-peak hours will get closest to your plan speed. If you're consistently 50%+ below your plan on Ethernet, contact your ISP with documented test evidence.
