Internet speed requirements depend on what you do online. Use this guide to understand your GoSpeed results.
GoSpeed downloads test files from high-speed CDN servers and precisely measures how fast your browser receives data. Ping is calculated by measuring round-trip time of multiple small requests. No data about your connection is stored.
ISP-advertised speeds are theoretical maximums. Real-world speeds are affected by network congestion, Wi-Fi signal strength, router quality, number of connected devices, and distance from your ISP's node. Testing via Ethernet cable always gives the most accurate result.
Ping (latency) is measured in milliseconds — it's how long data takes to travel from your device to a server and back. Under 20ms is excellent for gaming and video calls. 20–50ms is good. Over 100ms causes noticeable lag. High ping is usually caused by distance to the server or network congestion.
Zoom and Google Meet require about 3 Mbps upload for HD video. For 1080p streaming to YouTube or Twitch, you need at least 6–8 Mbps upload. Most home connections have asymmetric speeds (lower upload than download) — this is normal.
