- Compare download and upload separately; many plans have strong download but weak upload.
- Check ping and jitter if gaming, video calls, VPNs, or remote desktop feel sluggish.
- Test again in the evening to see whether peak-hour ISP congestion is affecting you.
- Compare your ISP page against the country median before upgrading or switching.
