Skip to content An internet speed test helps to determine the speed of your internet connection. The speedtest backend computes two major components: download and upload. Download speed: the velocity of data coming in, while upload speed is for outgoing data.
Simply go to the speedtest website or use the speed test app to run a test. It will actually test your connection and show results in Mbps. Your speed can be slow for a variety of reasons including high network traffic, how far you are from the server, and whether it is Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection.
Constantly testing those services ensures your internet service provider is giving you the speeds you’re paying for.
