What is the download speed?ĭownload speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). For optimal performance, the jitter must not be over 15 milliseconds maximum or else there will be an impact on performance. All internet connections experience a level of jitter and it is most visible and problematic for real-time applications such as online gaming, streaming and voice communications (e.g Skype). Jitter can be caused by a number of factors such as network congestion, signal interference and collisions. This is the delay between when a signal is transmitted and when it is received. Jitter is a delay during the transfer of data. The lower the number the better the connection. The ping response tells you how fast you get a response back from a web server. That way you will rule out any WiFi issues or interference and it will be an even more accurate reading. For an even more refined test, connect to your broadband router using an Ethernet cable. The fewer applications you have running on your PC/device the better.

How to improve the accuracy of the speed testĮnsure that you do not have any downloads or uploading taking place whilst you run the test.
