Welcome to our broadband speed testing page. If you are experiencing difficulties, please read our troubleshooting section below.
If you want to know what your IP address is, why not take a look at our 'What's My IP?' page.
This test is designed for users on home broadband connections.
Please allow up to 2 to 3 minutes for the test to complete. Results are logged for statistical purposes and are an indication of your connection speed only. Results may also be shared with your service provider to help troubleshoot problems or improve their service. If the test does not complete or does not load the test results, please try our alternate speedtester.
The speedtester connects using the HTTP protocol over TCP port 80. Please ensure these ports are not blocked by firewalls.
If you are having problems with our speed test please try using our alternate speedtest.
If you see particularly slow speeds, and are using wireless (WiFi) we recommend connecting to your broadband router using an Ethernet cable.
If you receive the message "Unable to connect, please try again later.", you may be running a firewall or a network configuration which is preventing the tester from connecting. If your Internet access is restricted via a web proxy server only, you will not be able to run this test.
You can also estimate your speed using our Download Test Files.

NOTE: Variable speed products and those sold as 'up to' a specific speed may not reach the maximum advertised download or upload speeds. This can be due to the length of your phone line, ISP network congestion or traffic shaping, wireless networks or shared users/programs on your connection. Any results generated are not a guarantee of your true connection speed.
