Understanding Your Results

Download Speed

How fast you can pull data from the internet. This affects streaming, web browsing, and downloading files. Most households need 25+ Mbps for comfortable usage.

Upload Speed

How fast you can send data. Important for video calls, uploading files, and live streaming. Upload is typically slower than download on most connections.

Latency (Ping)

The time it takes for data to make a round trip. Lower is better. Under 50ms is good for gaming and video calls. Under 20ms is excellent.

Tips to Improve Speed

Use a wired connection

Ethernet cables provide more stable and faster speeds than Wi-Fi. Connect directly to your router for the best performance.

Close background apps

Streaming services, cloud backups, and software updates running in the background can consume bandwidth.

Restart your router

A simple restart can often fix slow speeds caused by memory leaks or congested routing tables.

Contact your ISP

If speeds are consistently below what you're paying for, contact your ISP. They may need to check your line or upgrade your equipment.
