Product Information

It's important to understand that different internet speeds are necessary for different usage scenarios.

If the interet speeds differ on your connected devices, however, the poor connectivity is likely either due to a local misconfiguration or device capabilities. The tool measures the response time – also known as latency – of your broadband connection, as well as your download and upload speeds. But if you’re getting broadband speed test results that are close to our estimated speeds for your package and you’re finding that the connection is too slow, it may be time to upgrade your broadband to a faster speed. In addition you could check internet speed with a network speed test as well to compare wireless and wired connectivity. An internet speed test measures the connection speed and quality of your connected device to the internet.

The internet may be faster in the mornings or on weekdays when fewer people are online, compared to busy peak-times when there’s high local demand for the internet (around 8-10pm or during big events e. If you're not happy with your ISP's response, follow our guide on how to complain about your broadband speed. Upload speeds as opposed to download speeds characterize the amount of data your device can send to the internet. Online gaming will primarily be influenced by your ping, with a smaller ping being better while publishing content on the web, like uploading large videos to Youtube will be primarily constrained by your upload bandwidth. Each of these values represents the connection's specific qualities, which you can read more about in the paragraph after the next.

But using an Ethernet cable to connect your device to the Hub will give you the most accurate broadband speed test results and a faster connection than wireless broadband.

Unlike an Ethernet connection, WiFi signal can be disturbed by obstacles such as walls, furniture and doors. How fast you can receive data from the internet to your device – higher the Mbps (megabits per second), the faster your speed and the quicker you can get downloads (files, photos, music). You can run a WiFi speed test on all your devices to idenitify the ones that have a strong WiFi signal and the ones that don't.When the server receives this package, it will send it back to the device, completing the roundtrip. Download speed determines the transfer rate of how fast data is transferred to your device from the internet. Computers, laptops, smart phones, tablets – the internet speed check above works with all modern desktop and mobile browsers.
