About Broadband Speed Test

What is Broadband Speed Test testing?

Broadband Speed Test performs three key measurements used to determine the overall quality and performance of your Internet connection.
Download Speed
The speed at which data is sent from the Internet to your computer.
Upload Speed
The speed at which data is sent from your computer to the Internet.
Ping (Latency)
The time it takes in milliseconds for a small piece of data to be sent from your computer to the Internet and back.

Theoretical Maximum Speeds

The advertised speed seen on many broadband deals is actually the theoretical maximum. We have listed the theoretical maximum speeds below for your reference. The Broadband Speed Test result may vary due to a variety of factors including:
  • line quality
  • distance from the exchange (ADSL/ADSL2+)
  • quality of the wiring
  • your modem settings
  • network congestion
