Use these benchmarks to understand your results and whether your plan matches your usage needs.
How the Speed Test Works
Four steps happen automatically the moment you click Start.
Connect to Test Server
The tool selects the nearest available server to minimize routing distance and ensure a fair baseline measurement.
Measure Download Speed
Data packets are downloaded from the server. The rate at which they arrive measures your download bandwidth in Mbps.
Measure Upload Speed
Your device sends data to the server. This reflects how fast you can send files, stream to others, or use cloud services.
Calculate Ping & Jitter
Latency (ping) and ping variation (jitter) are recorded. These determine the responsiveness of your connection for real-time apps.
Understanding Your Results
A breakdown of each metric, what it means, and what the benchmarks are.
| Metric | What It Measures | Excellent | Acceptable | Poor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Download Speed | How fast data flows to your device (streaming, browsing, downloads) | >100 Mbps | 25–100 Mbps | <25 Mbps |
| Upload Speed | How fast data flows from your device (video calls, file sharing, cloud) | >20 Mbps | 5–20 Mbps | <5 Mbps |
| Ping (Latency) | Round-trip time for a data packet, in milliseconds — lower is better | <20 ms | 20–100 ms | >100 ms |
| Jitter | Variation in ping over time — affects video calls and gaming stability | <10 ms | 10–30 ms | >30 ms |

Tips to Improve Your Internet Speed
Practical steps to get more out of your existing connection — no technician required.
Restart Your Router
A simple reboot clears memory, drops stale connections, and often recovers 20–30% lost speed. Do this monthly.
Use Ethernet, Not Wi-Fi
A wired connection eliminates signal loss, interference, and congestion. It's the single biggest speed improvement for desktop users.
Reposition Your Router
Place your router centrally and elevated. Walls, floors, and appliances absorb Wi-Fi signals significantly.
Switch to 5 GHz Band
If you're within 10 meters of your router, switch to the 5 GHz band for faster speeds and less interference from neighbors.
Update Router Firmware
Router manufacturers regularly release firmware with security patches and performance improvements. Check your admin panel.
Disconnect Idle Devices
Smart TVs, gaming consoles, and phones doing background updates silently consume bandwidth. Disconnect unused devices.
