Speed tests measure the performance of an internet connection by assessing factors like download speed, upload speed, latency (ping), and sometimes jitter. They’re commonly used to determine how well an internet connection can handle activities like streaming, gaming, video conferencing, and more.

The results of the our speed test show you a series of values ​​that allow you to evaluate your connection speed and help you decide whether your IPS is providing the service you are expecting. 

Download

Downloading shows the speed in which your downloads occur.  This is dictated by your service provider. 

  The Download speed is expressed in megabits per second (Mbits). A higher value is better which translates to  a faster 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 (from your computer Up).

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.

Jitter

Jitter expresses the fluctuations of the ping value and, therefore, the stability of the connection. The result ​​(in milliseconds) should be as low as possible. The higher the jitter value displayed in the test, the worse your internet connection stability is.

The detailed results of the speed test show the amount of data in megabytes (MB) that you can theoretically download and upload during a given period of time. Thus, you can easily find out if the data volumes and speed are adequate. This is highly practical. The owners of blogs and websites have the option of inserting a free connection speed test directly on their websites through the embedding code.
