Find out your internet download and upload speed in mbps per second with our internet speed test! Get lightning fast internet speeds starting at 100 mbps with Spectrum. TestMy.net is a powerful broadband speed test that will test your Internet, calculate your transfer rate and output accurate, reliable and easy to understand results. TestMy.net is an independent third party and is not affiliated with your Internet service provider.
Why are my speed test results lower than my plan speeds?- An internet speed test measures the connection speed and quality of your connected device to the internet. It does so by running multiple consecutive tests that analyze different aspects of your internet connection, namely ping (latency), download speed, and upload speed.
- This speed test will test the download and upload speed of your internet connection along with other diagnostic details in just a few seconds. BroadbandNow is supported by commissions from some of the providers listed on our site.
- From the user’s perspective, everything is simple. In your web browser, click on the measurement button and wait. Before starting the speed test, it is important to close all tasks, applications, and devices that connect to the internet. The results would be affected by open tasks.
Tips to improve your speed
- Step 1: Move the device closer to your WiFi gateway. The closer you are to your gateway, the less chance for signal interference.
- Step 2: Make sure the WiFi gateway is in a clear space, which allows the signal to travel and expand for better speed and coverage. For best results, do not place it on the floor or in a cramped space like a cabinet, closet, or drawer.
- Step 3: Avoid interference. Place your WiFi gateway away from large household items and other electronic equipment that may block your signal.
- Step 4: Relocate your Wi-Fi modem or router to the center of your home to increase its coverage potential.
- Step 5: Manually restart your Wi-Fi modem. Unplug the power cable, wait one minute, then plug it back in.
- Step 6: Consider the age of your connected device.
How speed is delivered to your connected devices

Our high-speed data plans are designed to support the bandwidth needs of many devices at the same time. Internet service is delivered to your home and as you connect different devices, it is divided and shared among them, reducing the speed of data transmission. Think of it as a huge water pipe running into your home, with a network of smaller pipes branching off of it to carry water to different areas: with each intersection point, less water flows through each pipe. So, the more devices you have connected to the internet in your home, the more bandwidth you’ll need to maintain high speeds across them.
What speeds to expect from different devices
The age of your device has a big impact on the speed test results. Newer devices are capable of much more speed than older devices.
Here is what you should expect your device speed to be:
Computers
| Year Released | Expected WiFi Speed |
|---|---|
| 2011 - present | 150-500 Mbps |
| 2007 - 2010 | 75-150 Mbps |
| 2006 & earlier | 25 Mbps |
Phones ad Tablets
Lan Speed Tester
| Year Released | Expected WiFi Speed |
|---|---|
| 2011 - present | 75-300 Mbps |
| 2007 - 2010 | 25-75 Mbps |
| 2006 & earlier | 25 Mbps |
SPEEDTESTPRO allows you to quickly and easily measure the speed of your Internet connection. To obtain the most accurate result, it is recommended to temporarily disable all programs that can use the Internet. Repeat the test several times, because the result depends on the conditions of the Internet connection at a given time.
Downloading
Downloading shows the download speed of data to your device, expressed in megabits per second (Mbits). A higher value is better because the faster the download, the less time you wait to load a web page or to download an email attachment. A home Internet connection is usually asymmetrical, which means that the data transfer speed to the user is higher than the upload speed.

Uploading
Another basic value revealed by the test results is upload. Upload shows how fast you can upload data to the internet with your connection, also measured in Mbit/s. As with downloading, a higher number is better. A quick upload is important for backing up to the cloud or for streaming. The higher the value, the faster you can upload data from your device to the internet.
Ping
Ping measures the time it takes for data to be sent from a host to a destination computer and back again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). As opposed to downloading and uploading, with ping, the lower the value, the better. This value is especially important for online game players who need a quick response from the server when playing, so that their action in a game is not delayed. A relatively fast ping is less than 40 ms. Anything within the range of 0 to 10 ms is considered a very good result.
