How to Interpret Your Results
Let’s break down what each part of your speed test means.
- Download — Measures how quickly data transfers from outside sources to your device. It impacts web page loading, file downloading, and streaming service buffering.
- Upload — Measures how quickly data transfers from your device to outside sources like the cloud or an app on your phone. It impacts sharing your screen during a meeting, posting on Instagram, and playing video games.
- Ping — Measures how long it takes your connection to respond when called to transfer data. The lower the better!
- Jitter — Indicates how many pings occur to and from your server when transferring data. The lower the number, the more stable your connection will be.
