Question 1

How does the internet speed test work?

Accepted Answer

The test downloads and uploads small data files from public test servers and measures how fast the data transfers. It also measures ping (latency) by sending small requests and timing the round-trip. Everything runs in your browser — no app install needed.

Question 2

Is this speed test accurate?

Accepted Answer

The test provides a good estimate of your real-world connection speed. Results may vary based on server distance, network congestion, WiFi signal strength, and background downloads. For best results, close other apps using bandwidth and connect via Ethernet if possible.

Question 3

What is a good internet speed?

Accepted Answer

For basic browsing and email, 10-25 Mbps download is sufficient. For HD streaming and video calls, 25-50 Mbps is recommended. For 4K streaming, gaming and large households, 100+ Mbps is ideal. Upload speeds of 5-10 Mbps or higher are good for content creation.

Question 4

What are ping, download and upload speeds?

Accepted Answer

Ping (latency) measures how quickly your device gets a response from a server, measured in milliseconds (ms). Download speed is how fast data comes from the internet to your device (streaming, browsing). Upload speed is how fast data goes from your device to the internet (video calls, file sharing).
