Are you getting the broadband speeds you're paying for? Simple tools can help you find out. Speedtest.net is a reliable service for checking your internet speed. It tells you how quick your connection is, making it easy to determine if your broadband or Wi-Fi is slow.

How to Test Your Internet Speed

To get an accurate reading, stand close to your router or use an Ethernet cable. The test measures both download and upload speeds, as well as 'ping' or latency. This information is crucial for real-time applications like online gaming and video calls.

Understanding Your Results

• Download speeds indicate how fast you can load content.
• Upload speeds show how quickly you can send data.
• 'Ping' measures latency; lower is better for gaming and video calls.

Recommended Internet Speeds

• For Netflix: 1.5 Mbps (SD), 5 Mbps (HD), 25 Mbps (4K)
• For Zoom/Teams: 4 Mbps download, 3 Mbps upload (HD)
• For online gaming: <50 ms (desirable), <100 ms (usable)

By using Speedtest.net, you can ensure you're getting the internet speeds you need.
