What is a good download speed?

A good download speed is 25 Mbps or higher for most households. For 4K streaming or multiple users, 100+ Mbps is ideal.

What is upload speed and why does it matter?

Upload speed measures how quickly data can be sent from your device. It’s essential for video calls, sending files, and live streaming.

Ping (or latency) measures the response time between your device and a server. Lower ping is better, especially for gaming and video calls.

Use a wired connection, test at different times, and make sure no one else is using the internet during the test.

Jitter measures the stability of your connection. High jitter can cause dropouts during video calls or online gaming.

Download Speed (Mbps): How fast your device pulls content from the internet, streaming, browsing, file downloads.

5–25 Mbps: Browsing, SD/HD streaming.

50–100 Mbps: 4K streaming, gaming, family usage.

100+ Mbps: Heavy streaming, large file downloads, smart homes.
Upload Speed (Mbps): How fast you can send data, video calls, uploads, livestreams.

1–5 Mbps: Email, light video calls.

5–10 Mbps: HD Zoom calls, file uploads.

10+ Mbps: Remote work, cloud backups, live streaming.
Ping / Latency (ms): How quickly your device gets a response from the server. Lower = faster.

0–30 ms: Excellent for gaming and calls.

30–60 ms: Good for general use.

60+ ms: May cause delays or lag.
Jitter (ms): Measures consistency of ping. High jitter can cause stutter in video or calls.

Under 30 ms: Good. Over 50 ms: May cause issues.
