How to test your internet speed the right way

A speed test shows how fast data moves to and from your device. The result depends on your device and Wi-Fi as much as on your connection, so test the right way.

Before you test

  • Use a device close to the router, or connect with a cable.

  • Pause downloads, streaming and updates on other devices.

  • Close other apps and browser tabs.

Understanding the results

  • Download: how fast you receive data, such as videos and web pages.

  • Upload: how fast you send data, such as video calls and photo uploads.

  • Ping: how quickly the connection responds. Lower is better for calls and games.
