WHAT IS AN INTERNET SPEED TEST?

An internet speed test is an evaluation of your existing broadband parameters. A
speed test works by sending a file from a speed test server and analyzing the
time it takes to download the file onto your local device (computer, tablet,
smartphone, etc.) and then upload it back to the server.


WHY SHOULD I TEST MY INTERNET SPEED?

Running regular internet speed tests can help you better understand your
connectivity performance trends and your connection’s maximum download and
upload speeds. You may be paying for an internet connection with WiFi speeds
higher than you require, which is costing you money each month. Alternatively,
you may be paying for WiFi speeds that are lower than you expected. Our internet
speed test can reveal whether your provider is actually meeting their advertised
speeds. If you run our test multiple times and still don’t see the speeds you’re
paying for, contact your ISP for more help.


HOW DOES YOUR INTERNET SPEED TEST WORK?

The Bandwidth Place Internet Speed Test is a browser-based, HTML5 speed test
that checks your connection speed without requiring any downloads. When you
begin the test, our tool will upload a set of files from your computer to the
fastest test server with the lowest ping. If you would like to use a different
server, we also provide the option to manually select the server location. The
speed test will then run in reverse, downloading your files instead. During the
entire process, our speed test will measure various metrics, such as your upload
speed, download speed, and ping.




HOW TO READ YOUR SPEED TEST RESULTS


 * WHAT IS DOWNLOAD SPEED?
   
   Download speed is the maximum amount of data your computer can receive from
   the internet in a single second.


 * WHAT IS UPLOAD SPEED?
   
   Upload speed is the maximum amount of data your computer can send to the
   internet in a single second.


 * WHAT IS PING (LATENCY)?
   
   Although their definitions slightly vary, ping and latency are often used
   interchangeably. However, when used in the context of speed test results,
   both ping and latency are a measurement of how quickly you can get a response
   after you’ve sent a request over a network. Latency and slow ping rates are
   often affected by packet size, packet loss, and jitter. See below if you are
   unfamiliar with any of those terms.


WHAT IS A GOOD INTERNET CONNECTION SPEED?

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), good internet speed
starts at a minimum download speed of 25 Mbps to perform everyday online tasks.
Depending on your personal internet habits, your download speeds will need to
meet the following minimum criteria:

 * 1-5 Mbps for email and web browsing

 * 15-25 Mbps for streaming HD video

 * 40-100 Mbps for streaming 4K video and light online gaming

 * 200+ Mbps for streaming 4K video, online gaming, and downloading large files


HOW DO I TEST MY WIFI SPEED?

You can use our WiFi Speed Test to check your WiFi speed. First, while standing
near your router, run our speed test on a mobile device or computer connected to
your WiFi network. Then connect a wired desktop or laptop directly to one of the
wireless gateways’ Ethernet ports. Finally, rerun our speed test with the new
wired connection, and compare your results to the original WiFi speed test.


GLOSSARY: INTERNET SPEED TERMS

If you are not familiar with some of the terms that have been used throughout
this page, use the glossary below to gain a more comprehensive look into your
network connection.


 * PACKET LOSS
   
   Packet loss occurs when lost packets of data don’t reach their destination
   after being sent across a network. This can often result in increased latency
   and slower network connection.


 * JITTER
   
   Jitter occurs when there is a variation in the time between when a signal is
   transmitted and when it is received over a network. This is often a result of
   network congestion.


 * MBPS (MEGABITS PER SECOND)
   
   Mbps stands for “megabits per second”. Mbps is a unit of measurement used to
   show the speed of a network or internet connection. Megabits (Mb) are made up
   of 1 million bits. Bits are the smallest unit of measurement for digital
   data. They are represented by zeros and ones in binary code. However, because
   bits are so small, it is more common to use megabits (Mb). Megabits per
   second refers to how many megabits can be downloaded or uploaded over a
   network. Internet service providers (ISPs) typically use Mbps when
   communicating the maximum download and upload speeds of their different
   internet plans.


HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR INTERNET SPEEDS

RESTART YOUR ROUTER OR MODEM

This is often the easiest place to start. Sometimes it’s as simple as a quick
reset. Unplug your modem or wireless gateway, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back
on. If your wireless connection is still poor after restarting your modem, try
repeating the process with your router. Finally, you might want to try turning
off the WiFi on all of your connected devices. Wait a few seconds and then turn
your WiFi back on. Wait for your devices to reconnect and see if your connection
speeds have improved.

CHECK YOUR HARDWARE

Maybe your modem and/or router are obsolete? This sometimes hampers your speed.
Check with your internet service provider to ensure your equipment is up to
date. In most cases, they upgrade your setup for free, although a monthly charge
may apply. You can also consider purchasing your own modem and router to keep
your monthly cost to a minimum. Your ISP maintains a list of third-party
equipment compatible with their service. Talk with them to find out what
direction is best for you.

MOVE YOUR ROUTER TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION

Routers are affected by location. Consider placing your wireless router close to
your prime television viewing area to improve the overall streaming experience.
Additionally, try to keep any walls between your router and your streaming
devices to a minimum. This helps you get the most out of your bandwidth even
without spending extra on a high-end router. Certain appliances, most notably
microwaves, interfere with your router’s signal. So make sure you place the
router where a microwave won’t hamper your WiFi.



CONSIDER A RANGE EXTENDER

Depending on the layout of your home and the location of your wireless router,
you may encounter difficulty keeping a strong internet signal. Range extenders
offer a relatively inexpensive way to spread your wireless signal throughout
your home. Expect to pay anywhere from $75 to $150 for a decent model. They
typically plug directly into a wall socket, so you are able to place the unit
closer to where you do your most internet activity.

CHANGE YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER

If all else fails and you’ve tried the tips above, there is always the option to
switch your internet provider. Internet providers typically offer multiple
different types of technologies used for internet access. Some are faster than
others. Here is an overview of the most widely used internet types:

 * CABLE INTERNET:
   
   Cable service is the most popular and successful form of high-speed internet
   in the U.S. The vast majority of American cities and communities offer cable
   TV service, and as a result, these areas typically also provide broadband
   service. Harness some of the fastest download speeds on the market with
   speeds measuring up to 100 Mbps, nearly five times faster than DSL.

 * FIBER OPTIC INTERNET:
   
   Fiber optic internet is a type of network connection that transfers data via
   fiber optic cables. Through the use of these cables, data travels longer
   distances and holds the signals intact throughout. Data gets transmitted
   using light, which accelerates internet speeds beyond what you’d expect from
   cable or DSL providers. Fiber optic internet is the perfect solution for
   heavy internet users including gamers, video streamers, and those operating
   out of a home office.

 * FIXED WIRELESS INTERNET:
   
   Users in need of on-the-go high-speed internet are best served by a mobile
   internet service. This type of internet service is typically provided through
   a cellular telephone service provider’s data plan. Serving as your gateway to
   WiFi freedom, mobile internet service allows you to work and play virtually
   anywhere in the world. No matter where you are, you can count on impressive
   speeds and reliable connectivity.

 * SATELLITE INTERNET:
   
   Satellite internet provides connection using three satellite dishes: one at
   the internet service provider’s hub, one suspended in space, and one fixed to
   your property. This effectively eliminates the need for in-ground cables
   while increasing internet accessibility in rural areas. In fact, satellite
   internet is often the sole option for wireless connection in most remote
   areas.

 * DSL INTERNET:
   
   DSL internet is generally available through ISPs wherever telephone landlines
   are run. DSL is lauded for its reliability, affordability, and top speed
   performance. Users can expect download speeds of up to 20 Mbps, which makes
   everything from gaming to video streaming a total breeze.
