Network Speed Test Description
The Network Speed Test evaluates your network's latency, download, and upload speeds. By leveraging servers globally, it assesses the performance of your internet connection in terms of both latency and throughput. Depending on the speed of your connection, the test can suggest activities you may comfortably engage in, such as streaming music or participating in video calls. You can swipe right to view a history of your past tests, making it simple to compare results over time. When conducting a test, certain details about your device and network connection are shared with Microsoft, which aids in enhancing their knowledge of network quality and availability. With your permission, we may also gather data regarding your location during the test. Rest assured that the information collected remains anonymous and is not linked to your identity, nor will it be used for purposes such as targeted advertising. Ultimately, this process contributes to improving overall network services for all users.

Speed Test
Download speed, expressed in megabits per second (Mbps), indicates the rate at which your computer can receive data from an online server. Conversely, upload speed refers to how quickly your computer can transmit data to a server on the Internet. Ping, often referred to as "latency," assesses the responsiveness of your Internet connection by measuring the duration it takes for a request to be sent and a response to be received, with results provided in milliseconds (ms). This metric is crucial for understanding how quickly your Internet can react to commands. Jitter, which is derived from various ping measurements, evaluates the stability of your Internet connection; it is also measured in milliseconds, and lower jitter values signify a more consistent connection. Speed Test operates through a vast network of over 5,000 servers worldwide, selecting one that is closest to your current position to ensure minimal ping times, typically reflecting a dependable Internet connection with strong performance. This comprehensive approach helps users gauge their Internet quality effectively.
