Directly below the internet speed test, click on "Results History" to expand your most recent results. An error may result from having the speed test open in more than one browser tab or window.

Please try again later. To prevent this error, and get the most accurate test results, close all other browser tabs and windows before running. If you continue to get a socket error message, or another type of error message, please provide feedback by emailing us at speedtestfeedback fusionconnect.

Why is the location I usually pick missing from the City list? We first complete a latency test to our servers, and if a server does not respond within a specified time frame, it is not included in the City list. A slow response can be caused by latency or packet-loss between the client and server, or particularly high Internet usage during peak hours. Do try the test again in a little while. In which browsers does the Speed Test work best? For best results, use the most recent version of your favorite browser.

If you are unable to see Speed Test, though other content appears on the speed test page, check your browser's security setting. Try lowering the setting from High to Medium-High, or even a bit lower, to allow the broadband test application to load. In some cases, firewall and security software can prevent the test from running and generate a "could not connect" error.

Temporarily lowering the severity should allow the broadband test to run. Be sure to turn it back on before leaving our website. Our Speed Test automatically detects the optimal server host location for testing, which is not necessarily the closest server host. This is due to real-time network circumstances like number of hops, or current traffic load on each test server.

Change the selection using the Change City drop down function directly underneath the Start Test button. Why is my speed lower than expected? Several factors may slow your connection, resulting in lower-than-expected speeds. Try these simple suggestions below.

But if your slower speeds persist, contact your broadband service provider to see if they can determine the issue. There are many factors that impact your speed test results. Throughput problems in your local area network, IP or access overhead, and network design all play a role. Please read the definitions and examples below to learn more about these factors.

An Example of Throughput You have Ethernet 8. But it will actually take longer as the total information that needs to be transmitted is more than 1MB.

The total information is called Payload. The channel needs to not only transmit the payload but also some addressing details like where it is coming from and where it is destined to. The device that sends this email will break down the message into smaller pieces and package them into what are called IP Packets. The size of these packets is usually determined by your Local Area Network. Some have smaller size, so the message will take more IP Packets to transmit; while others may have larger size which needs fewer IP Packets.

This is where the information like the source IP Address, the destination IP Address and additional information about the payload is included. IP Header is usually 20 Bytes Bits long. The first step to analyzing any internet speed test is creating a repeatable testing environment. We made sure that the Google Chrome browser used for the tests was the only program running on each device, and we also disabled all active Chrome plugins.

Here are the results we recorded under these testing conditions. To analyze the Speakeasy speed test, we used a connection that is advertised to deliver Mbps download speeds.

On this particular day, we noted from using other speed tests that our connection was running a bit faster than that, which was confirmed by the Speakeasy test as well. This speed test takes about 3. As for the speed of our connection, Speakeasy recorded a mean download speed of Unfortunately, Speakeasy does not record ping times, which is quite the oversight seeing as most competitors do test pings.

In our opinion, the Speakeasy speed test records reliable and accurate data when it comes to download and upload speeds, which is obviously the most important aspect of any internet speed test. Additionally, we appreciate the inclusion of the option to share results via social media and email.

We like the simplicity of selecting an Internet plan with Spectrum—there are just three plans, and all of them are fast. Actual speeds vary by location. The slowest plan offered by Spectrum whizzes along at speeds up to Mbps, which is ample speed for a household of three to four people to stream video on multiple devices.

In some areas, the infrastructure is built to enable faster connection speeds, which is why there are different Spectrum speeds available across the country. Connection speeds for 4G data vary based on network congestion and your proximity to cell phone towers.

Just keep those earbuds handy. You can use these WiFi hotspots around the city to keep data usage low on your phone. By-the-Gig data can be shared with other phones you have on your plan. As far as data speeds go, keep in mind that if you opt for the Unlimited plan, you will experience reduced data speed after the monthly 20 GB threshold. Although a little pricey, Xfinity has a better WiFi network and the fastest available speeds.

Spectrum has unlimited data, which comes in handy if you like streaming video. Both CenturyLink and Spectrum Internet are no contract, although prices do go up for Spectrum after the first year.
