Take a Speed Test
Welcome to our Internet Speed Test page! In order to make sure you're receiving the performance you expect from your service provider, you can quickly and conveniently assess your Internet connection speed here. DSL service providers frequently advertise 50 Mbps Internet speeds. But this statistic just shows the fastest speed that is reserved for your usage. The actual speeds can differ as data travels hundreds of kilometers to get to your home Internet connection. Use our free DSL speedtest to find out how fast your connection really is!

Easy and Free Internet Speed Test
This tool is ideal for diagnosing network issues, optimizing your online activities, or simply satisfying your curiosity about your connection's performance. The DSL speedtest is nearly completely automated. During the test, all you have to do is close all programs. Antivirus and other security software should be briefly disabled before being restarted right away after the test because they have the potential to skew the results. Enter the advertised data rate and your Internet provider in the menu after closing any background programs. Your internet connection will be examined by our server once you click "Start". You can take the speedtest for free.
How the Measurement Works
Our server sends data packets to your computer in order to measure your Internet speed. In order to guarantee that the test is prolonged sufficiently for a precise measurement, the server transmits several packets of different sizes. After being downloaded, these packets are returned. The download and upload speeds you get are determined by how long this procedure takes. Please refrain from downloading anything else, visiting any websites, or checking your email during the test, as it uses up all available bandwidth.
What the Results Mean
Four essential components of your Internet connection are measured by our DSL speedtest tool: upload speed, download speed, and ping (latency).
Download Speed: This measures the speed at which information travels from the Internet to your device; it is commonly expressed in megabits per second (Mbps). For tasks like downloading files, streaming films, and web browsing, faster download rates are necessary.
Upload Speed: This measures the speed—also expressed in Mbps—at which data travels from your device to the Internet. For tasks like gaming, uploading big files, and holding video conferences, faster upload rates are essential.
Ping (Latency): This calculates the transit time, in milliseconds (ms), of a data packet from your device to a server and back. For real-time applications like video calls and online gaming, lower ping times are crucial since they signify a more responsive connection.
Jitter: This quantifies the fluctuations in packet arrival times, signifying the consistency of an Internet connection. Low jitter is essential for applications that require smooth and dependable performance, such as online gaming, video conferencing, and VoIP.
Multiple Tests for More Accurate Results
Due to a variety of outside influences, the outcome of a single Internet speed test may not always be entirely precise. The performance of your machine and the server load are just two factors that could affect the outcome. Make sure to run many speed tests at different times to get your precise data rates. Your genuine download and upload speeds can be more accurately determined by averaging these tests.
