What is a good internet speed?

For most households, 25 Mbps download meets the FCC minimum broadband definition. For 4K streaming, gaming, and video calls simultaneously, 100-200 Mbps is recommended. Gigabit (1,000 Mbps) plans are ideal for heavy users.

What is ping and why does it matter?

Ping is the round-trip time in milliseconds for a data packet to travel from your device to a server and back. Under 20 ms is excellent for gaming; under 50 ms is good for video calls; over 150 ms causes noticeable lag.

Why is my speed test result lower than my ISP plan?

Common causes: Wi-Fi interference, router limitations, network congestion, and ISP throttling. Use a wired Ethernet connection and close other apps for the most accurate result.
