What affects my internet speed?
Many factors affect speed: your ISP plan, Wi-Fi vs ethernet connection, router quality, distance from router, network congestion, time of day, and the number of devices on your network.
What's a good download speed?
For basic browsing: 5-10 Mbps. For HD streaming: 15-25 Mbps. For 4K streaming: 50+ Mbps. For gaming: 25+ Mbps with low latency. For remote work with video calls: 25-50 Mbps.
Why is my speed slower than what I pay for?
ISPs advertise 'up to' speeds, not guaranteed speeds. Wi-Fi is slower than ethernet, and other devices on your network share bandwidth. Test with ethernet directly connected for accurate results.
What is latency/ping?
Latency (ping) measures the time for data to travel to a server and back, measured in milliseconds. Low latency (under 50ms) is crucial for gaming and video calls. High latency causes lag.
