About the broadband speed test

This speed test tool will show you speed, latency, jitter, and much more.

The testing application is provided by Measurement Lab; a partnership between New America’s Open Technology Institute, Google Open Source Research, Princeton University’s PlanetLab, and other supporting partners.

Assuming you’re in Australia, the server used for testing your connection is a Web100-enhanced server in Sydney. The broadband speed test operates in several passes and works directly via your browser without requiring a Flash plugin. Basic results are displayed, plus tabs offering more detailed data.

This speed test is a little different from others as it doesn’t download or upload files to gauge how fast your device’s Internet connection is. Instead it measures how the network responds to a “synthetic stream of data” that is created.

Please note : there are many different testing services around the Internet and they’ll often give different results based on a variety of factors – the testing method, network status and other conditions.

*Notes on some of the results: Latency is a measure of time delay from one point of a network to another. Jitter is the change in the amount of time it takes for a piece of data to move from a point in a network to another point.
