How accurate is this speed test?

Our speed test is highly accurate when conducted under proper conditions. Results may vary by ±10% due to network variables, but we use industry-standard testing methods for reliability. For best results, close all background applications and connect via Ethernet if possible.

Why is my speed slower than advertised?

ISPs advertise 'up to' speeds under ideal conditions. Actual speeds depend on network congestion, equipment quality, connection type, and time of day. WiFi connections are typically 30-50% slower than wired connections. Other factors include distance from router, number of connected devices, and server location.

Does the speed test use my data?

Yes, the test downloads and uploads data (typically 100-500 MB total). If you have a limited data plan, this may count toward your monthly allowance. The test needs to transfer data to accurately measure your connection speed.

What is a good internet speed?

For basic browsing: 5-10 Mbps. For HD streaming: 25-50 Mbps. For 4K streaming or multiple users: 100+ Mbps. For gaming: 50+ Mbps with low ping (under 50ms). For video conferencing: 10-25 Mbps. For large file downloads: 100+ Mbps.

How often should I test my speed?

Test monthly to monitor consistency, or whenever you experience connection issues. Run tests at different times of day for a complete picture. If experiencing persistent issues, test multiple times and contact your ISP with results.

What is ping and why does it matter?

Ping measures latency - the time data takes to travel from your device to a server and back. Lower is better. Under 20ms is excellent, 20-50ms is good, 50-100ms is average, and above 100ms may cause lag in real-time applications like gaming and video calls.
