How this broadband speed test works
This broadband speed test sends and receives sample data between your device and test servers to estimate throughput and latency on your current connection.
It is designed for quick checks without apps, account setup, or manual configuration.
What is a good broadband speed?
Typical benchmarks:
- 1-5 Mbps: Basic browsing and email
- 10-25 Mbps: HD streaming and video calls
- 50-100 Mbps: Multiple users and 4K streaming
- 100+ Mbps: Large downloads and high-demand households
Broadband performance can vary throughout the day based on local demand and network routing.
Frequently asked questions
What broadband speed do I need for streaming?
For HD streaming, 10-25 Mbps is typically enough. 4K streaming and multiple devices usually need higher speeds.
Why does broadband speed change by time of day?
Network congestion, local peak usage, and ISP traffic management can affect measured speed.
Should I test over Wi-Fi or Ethernet?
Ethernet usually gives a cleaner measurement of broadband line performance than Wi-Fi.
What does ping tell me?
Ping shows latency. Lower ping generally improves responsiveness for calls, browsing, and gaming.
