How to read your internet speed test results
Download
The time it takes to pull data from a server on the internet to your device. Most connections are designed to download faster than they upload.
Upload
The time it takes to send data from your device to a server on the internet. A fast upload speed is helpful when sending large files via email, or in using video-chat to talk to someone else online.
Ping
Ping describes how quickly your device gets a response after you’ve sent out a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection. This is helpful in apps where timing is everything.
Jitter
Jitter frequency measures the variability in ping over time. Jitter is not usually noticeable when reading text, but when streaming or online gaming, a high jitter can result in buffering and other interruptions.
Other terms
Packet loss
Packet loss happens when a ‘packet’ of data being sent over the internet is not received or is incomplete. This is described by the percentage of packets lost in comparison to packets sent. In most cases, packet loss is a result of poor signal and/or line quality.
Mbps
The abbreviation for megabits per second. One megabit is equal to 1 million bits of information. Mbps is a standard measure of internet speed and is 1,000 times faster than 1 Kbps. Not to be confused with megabytes (MB) which is a measure of size rather than bandwidth.
Kbps
The abbreviation for kilobits per second. A kilobit is 1,000 bits of information. This is the old measure of internet speed and is only used to describe slow connections. Not to be confused with kilobytes (KB) which is a measure of size, rather than bandwidth
