FAST.com speed test gives you an estimate of your current Internet speed. You will generally be able to get this speed from leading Internet services, which use globally distributed servers. Speedtest6

Why does FAST.com focus primarily on download speed?

Download speed is most relevant for people who are consuming content on the Internet, and we want FAST.com to be a very simple and fast speed test.

To help eliminate these inconsistencies while testing the speed of your internet connection, Wave provides a speed test designed to test your connection within our network. Please note: Most performance issues can be addressed simply by shutting down background internet programs and bypassing additional network equipment. The Speakeasy Internet Speed Test is an HTML5, non-Flash bandwidth test, which checks your connection’s download and upload speeds using your browser. Our bandwidth test uses HTML5 technology and does not require any downloads to run. Bandwidth speed tests are typically used to check speed.

What about ping, latency, upload and other things?

When you click the “Show more info” button, you can see your upload speed and connection latency (ping). FAST.com provides two different latency measurements for your Internet connection: “unloaded” and “loaded” with traffic. The difference between these two measurements is also called “bufferbloat”.To calculate your Internet speed, FAST.com performs a series of downloads from and uploads to Netflix servers and calculates the maximum speed your Internet connection can provide. More details are in our blog post.

Will the FAST.com speed test work everywhere in the world?

FAST.com will test Internet speed globally on any device (phone, laptop, or smart TV with browser).We want our members to have a simple, quick, ad-free way to estimate the Internet speed that their ISP is providing.

What can I do if I'm not getting the speed I pay for?

If results from FAST.com and other internet speed tests (like dslreports.com or speedtest.net) often show less speed than you have paid for, you can ask your ISP about the results.Why are my speed test results lower than my plan speeds?It is important to understand that this test does not measure the speed of the internet connection to your home, it measures the speed of the internet connection to a device within your home. Results are often lower than plan speeds due to various factors outside your internet provider’s control, including WiFi conditions and device capabilities. With that in mind, if you run a speed test from a device with an expected WiFi speed that is lower than your plan, the results will be limited to roughly your device’s expected WiFi speed.

Tips to improve your speed

Step 1: Move the device closer to your WiFi gateway. The closer you are to your gateway, the less chance for signal interference.
Step 2: Make sure the WiFi gateway is in a clear space, which allows the signal to travel and expand for better speed and coverage. For best results, do not place it on the floor or in a cramped space like a cabinet, closet, or drawer.
Step 3: Avoid interference. Place your WiFi gateway away from large household items and other electronic equipment that may block your signal.
Step 4: Relocate your Wi-Fi modem or router to the center of your home to increase its coverage potential.
Step 5: Manually restart your Wi-Fi modem. Unplug the power cable, wait one minute, then plug it back in.
Step 6: Consider the age of your connected device.

How speed is delivered to your connected devices

Our high-speed data plans are designed to support the bandwidth needs of many devices at the same time. Internet service is delivered to your home and as you connect different devices, it is divided and shared among them, reducing the speed of data transmission. Think of it as a huge water pipe running into your home, with a network of smaller pipes branching off of it to carry water to different areas: with each intersection point, less water flows through each pipe. So, the more devices you have connected to the internet in your home, the more bandwidth you’ll need to maintain high speeds across them.

What speeds to expect from different devices

The age of your device has a big impact on the speed test results. Newer devices are capable of much more speed than older devices.

Here is what you should expect your device speed to be:
