Internet Speed Test FAQs
How accurate are online speed tests?
Online speed tests are generally accurate when conducted properly, but results can vary by 10-20% depending on the testing server, network congestion, and your setup. For the most accurate results, use a wired connection, close other applications, and test multiple times at different hours. Professional speed tests from your ISP or our specialists at 888-330-3368 provide the most reliable measurements.
Why do I get different results from different speed test sites?
Different speed test sites use different servers, testing methodologies, and algorithms. Speedtest.net, Fast.com, and Google speed test may show varying results because they test from different locations and use different measurement techniques. The key is to use the same test consistently and focus on trends rather than single measurements. Our internet specialists can explain these variations and help you understand what your speeds really mean.
What's a good internet speed test result?
A good internet speed depends on your usage: 25+ Mbps is sufficient for HD streaming and light usage, 100+ Mbps is ideal for multiple users and 4K streaming, and 300+ Mbps is excellent for heavy usage, gaming, and large households. Upload speeds of 10+ Mbps are good for video calls, while 25+ Mbps is excellent for content creation. Ping under 50ms is good, under 20ms is excellent for gaming.
Should I upgrade if my speed test shows slow results?
If your speed test consistently shows speeds significantly lower than your plan's advertised speed, first try troubleshooting: restart your modem/router, test with ethernet, and check for background usage. If problems persist, you may need to upgrade your plan or switch providers. Our specialists at 888-330-3368 can help you determine if an upgrade is necessary and find the best available options in your area.
