Click the “Go” button above to measure your download, upload speed, ping and jitter. It is always a better idea to test your internet speed to confirm that you are getting the speed which was promised to you by your internet service provider. Run the test 2–3 times for consistency. Below are the metrics recorded by the speed test:
Download Speed
It represents how quick your network can receive data from the internet servers in a certain time frame. Download speed is measured in mega-bits-per-seconds (Mbps).
Upload Speed
This means how fast your internet network can send data to a server. It is important during video calling, online gaming and voice or video call and measured in megabits-per-second (Mbps).
Ping Rate
A ping rate is the reaction time of how fast you receive back a response after you have sent a request to a server. The lower the ping rate the better it is. Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms).
Jitter
Jitter is the fluctuation of response times (ping). Lower jitter score is good whereas higher jitter represents an inconsistent connection resulting in choppy voice calling, video buffering and glitchy gameplay.
