Speedtest Tips

For the most accurate Speedtest results, try the following:

  • Use a wired connection or connect next to your modem.
    WiFi performance can be affected by distance and interference.

  • Disconnect all other devices.
    Other devices connected during the test may skew the result.

  • Use a newer device.
    Older devices may not support higher WiFi speeds.

  • Update your browser or try an alternative.
    Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge may provide different results.

Remember that download speed is the rate that data travels from the Internet to a device in your home. Upload speed is the rate that data travels from a device in your home to the Internet. Learn more about Internet speeds.
