What is the speed of remotely (upload)?

The speed at which you can send internet data, expressed in terms of megabits per second (MBPS).
Examples: sending email, publication of photos on a social network, use of your webcam.

What is latency (ping)?

The time it takes to your smallest request to receive a server response, measured in milliseconds (MS). Lower latency values ​​(Ping) mean faster connection. Ping is very important in real -time applications such as streaming or online games. Unfortunately, it is the value most ignored by users during speed tests.

What is jitter?

The variation in latency of packets carrying data, or in simpler terms, the stability of your internet connection. Lower jitter values ​​mean stable connection, uninterrupted vocal calls and non -pixelated video quality.

How to properly carry out a debit test?

A Debit test Internet is supposed to measure the maximum speed of your bandwidth.
In order to obtain specific results, you must close all programs that are likely to use the Internet before running a Debit test.

For optimal test conditions, take these directives into account:

• Connect your computer with a wired mode (RJ45 network cable).
• The results given are indicative. They depend on the saturation of the network, the number of nodes, the servers and the use of the Internet connection. For best results, it is recommended to stop all downloads and close all applications running before running the test.
• It is also recommended to perform the test several times to compare the results. These can be different each time due to the state of the network at the time of the test.

How an adsl measure works?

An internet speed test calculates your bandwidth capacities in a few seconds regardless of your type of connection (ADSL, cable, optical fiber, satellite . )). The download speed (Download) is measured by downloading a file for about 10 seconds, and Vice Versa to calculate the TV (Upload).
Warning:
Since using a Debt test application requires downloading and downloading certain files, consider that this data will be deducted from your mobile package (if limited only).
A test can use up to 20 MB or more. The faster your connection, the more data will consume data.

What is the best bandwidth measurement site?

An internet debit test cannot be good or bad for everyone, because it depends on the calculation of the server closest to your location.
When you start a debit test, the customer checks your location and finds the server closest to you. This is the key part of the operation because it is an important step to obtain specific results (this is why many speed tests offer an option to change server).
If the results of our debit test do not meet your expectations, try others like:

If the results are still far from what appears on your internet bill, remember to complain about your FAI

What is the ideal ping for online video games?

For this type of application in real time (online video games, streaming), it is not enough to have good internet speed, you must also have the lowest ping values ​​possible:

• Excellent: 0-59 ms
• Good: 60-129 ms
• Acceptable: 130-199 ms
• Bad: 200+ ms

What is the internet speed you are supposed to have?

This question is almost controversial because it depends on your use of the Internet, and with how many people you share it with in your domestic network.
Below, you will find some references concerning the connection speed based on the FCC recommendations.
