Understanding Your Test Results
Internet Speed Explained Simply
Let's imagine a motorway:
- Download represents the number of cars that can reach you
- Upload corresponds to the number of cars you can send out
- Ping measures the time it takes for a car to make the round trip
Tips to Optimise Your Connection
Choose Fibre Optic
Fibre offers lower latency (ping)
More stable than traditional ADSL
Ideal for remote working and video calls
Don't Overpay for Speed
A 100 Mbps connection is enough for most uses
