Free Internet Speed Test

Our speed test uses multiple parallel connections to Cloudflare's global infrastructure, measuring real-world TCP throughput. Results may vary slightly from other speed tests due to different test servers and methodologies, but they accurately reflect your usable bandwidth.

Many factors affect real-world speeds below your plan's maximum: WiFi signal quality, router hardware, network congestion, your device's processing speed, and the number of devices sharing your connection. Wired Ethernet connections typically achieve speeds closer to the plan maximum.

Netflix recommends 5 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. For a household with multiple streams, aim for 50+ Mbps. For gaming, you need low ping (under 50ms) more than raw speed — even 10 Mbps is enough if latency is low.

A good VPN using WireGuard protocol typically reduces speed by 10–20%. Some premium providers like ExpressVPN and NordVPN regularly achieve less than 10% speed loss. Older protocols like OpenVPN can cause 30–50% reductions. Run this test before and after to measure your specific VPN's impact.

Jitter is the variation in your ping over time. A ping of 20ms with 15ms jitter means your latency fluctuates between 5ms and 35ms — causing stuttering in video calls and lag spikes in games. Aim for jitter below 10ms for smooth real-time applications.

Test without a VPN first to establish your baseline speed. Then connect to your VPN and run the test again. This tells you exactly how much speed your VPN costs. If you lose more than 20–30%, try a different server location or switch to WireGuard protocol.
