| Download | 96 Mbps | 38.4 Mbps | Above the national median benchmark. |
| Upload | 88 Mbps | 18.7 Mbps | Upload is competitive for Colombia. |
| Ping | 14 ms | 17 ms | Latency is at or better than the country median. |
How to Run a ETB Speed Test
- Connect via Ethernet - For the most accurate baseline, connect your device directly to your router or modem with an Ethernet cable. Wi-Fi introduces variables that can mask your true plan speed. See our accuracy guide for full tips.
- Close background apps - Pause streaming, downloads, and backups. Other devices on your network also consume bandwidth.
- Start the speed test - Click GO on our homepage. The test measures download, upload, ping, and jitter in about 30 seconds.
- Compare your result - Check your measured speeds against the typical ETB results above. If you're significantly below your plan speed, review the common issues section below or contact ETB support.
