Not all plans are available in all areas. Provider plan, availability, and speed tier data provided by BroadbandNow.com. Speedtest real-world data is only present where sample size has reached significance within a region. Additionally, averages may include aggregated tests across multiple Internet Types (Fiber, DSL, Cable, etc.).

At Speedtest we pride ourselves on providing accurate and trustworthy data that forms the backbone of our ISP recommendations. Our real-world data is collected from millions of people worldwide who choose to take a Speedtest. This means our insights into ISP performance are reliable and current, allowing us to offer a clear, unbiased picture of ISP performance.

Three metrics will help you gauge the performance of an ISP: download speed, upload speed, and latency. Download speed is critical for tasks like streaming and downloading content, determining how swiftly data is transferred to your device. Upload speed is key for uploading content and engaging in online interactions, reflecting how quickly data is sent from your device to the internet. Latency, or ping, is essential in online gaming and video conferencing, influencing the responsiveness of your connection. With this comprehensive understanding of an ISP’s capabilities you have the data you need to  make an informed choice based on your specific internet usage.

ISP technology plays an important role in determining the quality of your internet experience. Technologies like fiber optics typically offer the fastest speeds, making them ideal for high-demand online activities. Cable internet, a more widely available option, usually provides good download speeds but upload speeds may lag. DSL (digital subscriber line) offers moderate speeds sufficient for basic browsing and streaming. In contrast, satellite internet, often the only choice in remote locations, tends to have higher latency and slower speeds.

How Much Speed Do I Need?

Download speeds of at least 100 Mbps and upload speeds of at least 10 Mbps are widely considered fast enough to handle nearly any online activity. A quick guide to what speeds you need for different online activities is below, and you can read our full guide to internet speeds and performance for more information. Keep in mind that the numbers below are the bare minimum for one device at a time. If you’re trying to use multiple devices on a network at the same time, you’ll want higher speeds.
