Broadband speed is the speed at which stuff gets sent and received over the internet. The faster your connection, the more things you can do online. Your throughput speed is measured in Megabits per second (Mbps).
You can use many websites and apps to test your broadband speed. We have a speed test available on your online account, just log in and click on your order number to start.
Here are some tips to help you get the most accurate speed test results:
- Use a Cat6 Ethernet cable when possible for better speeds.
- Restart your router before testing your speed over WiFi.
- Turn your device off and on again, or disconnect it from WiFi and reconnect it, to reset your devices' connection and get the best signal quality.
- Make sure the speed test server you are using is nearby.
- Disable any VPN or proxy server you're using before testing your speed.
