An internet speed test measures how fast your internet connection is by measuring how quickly data is downloaded and uploaded, and how long it takes to receive a response from a test server. The results can include:

• Download speed: How fast data is downloaded 
• Upload speed: How fast data is uploaded 
• Ping time: How long it takes for a device to send a packet of data to a server and receive a response 
• IP address: Your IP address

Internet speed tests are based on real-time network conditions, which can change quickly. Running the test multiple times at different times of the day can help you understand how your speed fluctuates.

The speed you need depends on the size of your household and on how you use the internet. The official speed recommendations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are a good starting point.

Internet speed determines what types of activities you can do on the internet. Streaming, gaming, and video calls all rely on faster internet speeds.

Your internet can be slow for many reasons. Your internet plan may be too slow for your needs, your modem or router may be out of date, or you might have too many people using your Wi-Fi at the same time.
