This article details the operational definitions and metrics we use to report on that data so you can better understand the aspects of network performance that are important to you. Ookla’s mission is to help make the internet better, faster and more accessible for everyone. Read more about the Speedtest Server Network and how Speedtest is uniquely able to measure high-speed connections including 5G.
There are Speedtest servers in virtually every country and major population center worldwide.
Every day, millions of people use Speedtest®, our flagship product, to better understand the performance and quality of their internet connections because it is the most reliable tool for measuring internet performance and providing network diagnostics.Įach test taken with Speedtest uses the Speedtest Server Network™, a global network of high-performance servers, ready to test the maximum sustained throughput of the user’s connection (download and upload speeds) and to report back on key network health metrics. The results of the HTML5-based speed tests conducted at Bandwidth Place ranged from 5Mbps to 11Mbps, those at exhibited a similar range, and the Flash-based tests at ZDNet's Broadband Speed Test recorded speeds from 5.8Mbps to 11.4Mbps.At Ookla® we care deeply about providing data and analyses that are meaningful, accurate and statistically sound so that consumers and businesses can trust the information they’re receiving. 's download scores in both its single- and multithread tests exhibited a bit more range than those of Speakeasy's Speed Test, but they averaged about 11.2Mbps. After running several tests over a span of days, all of Speed Test's download results were within a few kilobits of 11.5Mbps. Of course, the services' tests may be consistently wrong. The most consistent test results were recorded at Speakeasy's Flash-based Speed Test and at 's HTML5-based tester.
Others point out that multithread tests such as those used by Ookla ( and branded by many ISPs) don't represent real-world network traffic as well as single-thread tests. Many experts claim HTML5-based speed tests are more accurate than tests that use Java and Adobe Flash.
Does the type of speed test make a difference?
