How much internet speed do I need?
+−

You need at least 25 Mbps download speeds and 3 Mbps upload speeds to
effectively stream, game, download, and Zoom online with minimal slowdowns and
buffering. But if you live with three or more people, you’ll be better off with
100 Mbps download speeds and 10 Mbps upload speeds to support more users and
bandwidth-heavy tasks.

How Much Internet Speed Do I Need?
What is the fastest type of internet?
+−

Fiber internet is the fastest type of internet connection. It uses cables made
of bundled fiber-optic strands to transmit large amounts of data with light
signals. Most fiber internet plans give you 1,000 Mbps speeds, although some
providers can get you speeds of up to 2,000 Mbps or even 5,000 Mbps. Fiber is
also the only type of internet that gives you symmetrical upload speeds—so your
uploads will be just as fast as your downloads.

Fiber Internet Providers In Your Area
Why is my internet so slow?
+−

Your internet can be slow for many reasons. Your internet plan may be too slow
for your needs, your modem or router may be out of date, your router may be on
the fritz, or you might have too many people using your Wi-Fi at the same time.
We can help you identify where the problem is and how to fix it.

How to Fix Slow Internet
How can I improve my internet speed?
+−

You can improve your internet speed by upgrading to a faster plan, updating your
equipment, or taking simpler measures like closing out apps and browser windows.
We can walk you through 10 steps to improve your internet speed in just 15
minutes.

WHAT IS A GOOD INTERNET SPEED?

A good internet speed is at least 25Mbps download and 3Mbps upload. These
internet speeds are the bare minimum for a broadband connection as defined by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). But you’ll get better results with
an internet plan that supports download speeds between 40–100Mbps.

That said, no one wants to overpay for internet speed. You can use our How Much
Speed Do You Need? Tool to generate a personalized internet speed recommendation
based on how your household uses the internet. Find that sweet spot of
sufficient download speed without overpaying for speed you won’t use.

WHAT IS THE FASTEST TYPE OF INTERNET?

Fiber internet is the fastest type of internet connection. It uses cables made
of bundled fiber-optic strands to transmit large amounts of data with light
signals. Most fiber internet plans give you 1,000Mbps speeds, although some
providers can get you speeds of up to 2,000Mbps or even 5,000Mbps. Fiber is also
the only type of internet that gives you symmetrical upload speeds—so your
uploads will be just as fast as your downloads.

WHY IS MY INTERNET SO SLOW?

Your internet can be slow for many reasons. Your internet plan may be too slow
for your needs, your modem or router may be out of date, your router may be on
the fritz, or you might have too many people using your Wi-Fi at the same time.
We can help you identify where the problem is and how to fix it.

How to Fix Slow Internet


HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY INTERNET SPEED?

You can improve your internet speed by upgrading to a faster plan, updating your
equipment, or taking simpler measures like closing out apps and browser windows.
We can walk you through 10 steps to improve your internet speed in just 15
minutes.

10 Steps to a Faster Wi-Fi Connection


DO I NEED A FASTER ROUTER?

You need a faster router if your current router is using outdated Wi-Fi
standards. Anything older than Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) doesn’t
get you appropriate speeds equal to what’s capable on most high-speed internet
connections.

Even a router that’s just a few years old might not meet appropriate speed
standards, depending on your connection. Look into your router’s spects to see
its Wi-Fi standards and max speeds and get a new router if it’s an older model.
We have more information on when and how to replace an outdated router.

HOW DO I GET FASTER INTERNET?

You can get faster internet by upgrading your internet plan. If you can’t
upgrade your current speeds and feel stuck with bad service, you can also switch
to a new provider.

Metronet, and Cox. All of those internet providers offer fiber or cable internet
plans with gigabit speeds. See our report on the Fastest Internet Providers.

WHAT IS A GOOD UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD SPEED?

A download speed of 25Mbps and an upload of 3Mbps is good for most people.
That’s enough to let one or two Wi-Fi users play online games, stream video in
HD, and attend Zoom meetings with minimal slowdowns or buffering. You will
likely want a faster speed if you live in a larger household or do more
activities online.

WHY DOESN’T MY INTERNET SPEED MATCH MY PLAN?

You likely won’t ever see the maximum speed advertised by your provider in the
speed test, but your speed test results should come close. The speeds promised
by your internet plan are the max speeds you can expect. Most of the time, your
internet speeds will fluctuate within a small range of that max speed. What you
see on the speed test is simply where your internet speeds are currently.

Internet providers will state “up to” when advertising maximum speeds because
many variables can prevent you from hitting that top speed. You may even see
disclaimers like “wireless speeds may vary” because Wi-Fi speeds are always
inconsistent no matter what provider you choose—it’s just how Wi-Fi works.



For example, there may be issues with the provider’s service area, like faulty
connections somewhere within the neighborhood. Speed may be slow because you’re
using the internet at peak times, or your router may be outdated. Roots may be
growing into the cable buried in your yard.


WHAT TO DO IF YOUR INTERNET SPEED IS SLOWER THAN EXPECTED

There are several reasons why your speed test results might not be as fast as
you expected. Try these tips to see if you can get a more accurate reading:

 * Temporarily disable your firewall (but don’t forget to turn it back on
   afterward) and rerun the test.
 * Reboot your modem and router, and rerun the test.
 * Unplug your router from the modem, plug a desktop or laptop into the modem’s
   Ethernet port, and rerun the test.
 * If you have a wireless gateway rather than a separate modem and router, plug
   a desktop or laptop into one of the Ethernet ports, and rerun the test.

If you see inconsistent results, there might be a bottleneck on your end. You
can troubleshoot poor internet speeds with our guide on how to fix slow
internet. But your internet connection may just be slow either from your plan or
your internet type.

If nothing helps, call your internet provider or look for a new one.

HOW TO MAKE SENSE OF YOUR SPEED TEST RESULTS

Here’s a brief overview of what your speed test results mean and how they affect
your internet’s performance. For more in-depth information, check out our
consumer’s guide to internet speed.


DOWNLOAD SPEED

The speed at which your device pulls data from the internet. Usually measured in
Mbps or Gbps.


UPLOAD SPEED

The speed at which your device sends data to the internet. Usually measured in
Mbps or Gbps.


LATENCY (PING)

The time (measured in milliseconds) it takes for a signal to travel from your
device to an internet server and back. Lower latency means your connection has a
better response time for activities like gaming and livestreams.


PROVIDER

A company that provides internet services in a local area. Examples include
Xfinity, Spectrum, and Google Fiber.


IP ADDRESS

Internet protocol address—the unique numerical code that identifies an
internet-connected device and its geographic location.


SERVER LOCATION

The location of the server you connect to in order to run the speed test.


HOW DO I TEST MY WI-FI SPEED?

You can use our internet speed test to check your Wi-Fi speed. Just follow these
steps.


TEST YOUR WI-FI SPEED WITH A SEPARATE MODEM AND ROUTER

Step 1: Run our speed test on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop connected to your
Wi-Fi network while standing next to your router and record the speed test
results.

Step 2: Connect a wired desktop or laptop to one of the wireless gateway’s
Ethernet ports.

Step 3: Rerun our speed test with the wired connection, and compare the results
against the first Wi-Fi speed test.If you see a huge difference between the two
tests, check out our guide on what to do if you’re experiencing slow Wi-Fi.
