Frequently Asked Questions
A speedtest is used to calculate your internet speed by measuring how much data can move through your internet connection at any one time.
Download speed measures how fast information can transfer to you. It affects things like how long it takes to download large files, update games, or show pages with lots of photos. Download speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). One gigabit is 1000 Mbps.
Upload speed measures how fast information can transfer from you. It affects things like how you appear on video calls, how fast you can upload files to the cloud, and how long it takes to add attachments to emails. Upload speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
Ping measures how quickly your device gets a response from a server. A low ping score is better, especially in applications where timing is everything – like online gaming or livestreaming. Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms).
Jitter measures the fluctuations in the speeds at which a stream of data is sent. A high jitter score can affect streaming and video calls, making them look and sound choppy or glitchy. Jitter is measured in milliseconds (ms).
An IP address is the series of numbers that identifies your personal network to the outside world. Just like packages you order are sent to your home address, data you request is sent to your IP address.
