Figuring Out Your Speed Test Results

Understand what an internet speed test really tells you and what to do about your findings

Download Speed

Shows how quickly your device receives data from the web in a specific time. Measured in ‘megabits per second’ or Mbps.

Higher download speeds mean faster gameplay, HD streaming and large file transfers.

Download speed slower than expected?

Test your speed again during off-peak hours to compare results
Close bandwidth-hogging apps, devices or background programs
Check with your internet provider for possibilities of data throttling or local outage

Upload Speed

Shows how quickly your device sends data to the web in a specific time. Measured in ‘megabits per second’ or Mbps.

Higher upload speeds mean smoother video calling, live streaming, and content posting.

Upload speed slower than expected?

Pause any ongoing cloud backups or apps interfering with the speed test
Restart, reposition or update your router/modem to finetune results
Contact your ISP about upgrading your upload speed plan

Ping Rate

Shows the time it takes for your device to communicate with a web server and get a response. Measured in ‘milliseconds’ or ms.

Lower ping rate means lower loading time and an overall faster internet experience.

Ping rate higher than expected?

Connect your device using an Ethernet cable for more accurate speed testing
Reboot your internet equipment for fixing temporary glitches
Run the speed test on a different server (preferably the one closer to you) for better results

Tips for Better Speed Test Results

Before you test your internet speed, here are a few things you can do to get the most accurate results.

Test on One Device at a Time

Disconnect all other devices so there is no unnecessary interference, and you get the maximum bandwidth on the connected device.

Connect Using an Ethernet Cable

Instead of testing your device through Wi-Fi, prefer a wired connection for your speed test.

Try Several Locations Within Your Home

Test your internet speed at multiple points to evaluate where you get the best results.

Switch between Wi-Fi bands

Run your speed test on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands to check which frequency gives you the best result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 100 Mbps a good internet speed?

A 100 Mbps internet speed is good for streaming, gaming, browsing, and using social media on multiple devices. However, the more devices you connect to the internet, the more your bandwidth will be divided. So, a higher-speed plan may be more suitable for you. Call (855) 573-1435 to get a great offer.

How to improve your internet speed?

You can speed up your internet by:

Connecting your devices via Ethernet cable
Using an advanced mesh router and a compatible modem
Switching to a more suitable Wi-Fi frequency
Strengthening your internet security

How often should I test my internet speed?

You should test your internet speed when you upgrade your service or plan to check if you are getting the promised speed, or if you face connectivity issues, slowdowns, or throttling.

What is good ping when testing internet speed?

You ping rate should ideally be less than 20 milliseconds (ms) when you conduct a speed test, as that would indicate a faster, better-performing connection.
