What Does the Internet Speed Test Measure?
The Speed Test measures three core parameters of your connection to our server: Ping (latency), Download (download speed), and Upload (upload speed). These measurements help you understand the real-world quality of your internet connection.
What Is Ping / Latency?
Ping measures how long (in milliseconds) it takes for a packet to reach the server and return. Low ping = fast response. It is critical for online gaming, video calls, and real-time applications.
- < 20ms: Excellent
- 20–50ms: Very good
- 50–100ms: Acceptable
- > 100ms: Problematic for real-time applications
What Is Download Speed?
Download speed determines how quickly you receive data (web pages, videos, files). For 4K streaming you need ~25 Mbps. For HD video calls, ~5–10 Mbps per user.
What Is Upload Speed?
Upload speed determines how quickly you send data (video calls, cloud backups, file transfers). Most ADSL/VDSL connections have an upload speed much lower than download.
Why Do My Results Differ from My ISP's Advertised Speed?
Speed depends on many factors: the network between you and our server, the number of users on the network at that moment, the type of connection (WiFi vs Ethernet), and your device's processing power. Your ISP may have servers located closer to you.
