Direction
Actual Speed
True Speed (estimated)

Downstream 101 Kbps (12.6 KB/sec) 109 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 41 Kbps (5.1 KB/sec) 44 Kbps (inc. overheads)


'Actual Speed' is the amount of useful data that your connection can transmit/receive per second. The 'True Speed' figure includes an approximation of data overheads (non-useful data) and is estimated to be around 8%. 'True Speed' is for informational purposes only and is not used in any ISP rankings.

NOTE: Your downstream speed result is very low for the type of connection specified (ADSL/RADSL, 512Kbps). We strongly recommend that you check your Internet connection is not being used elsewhere during the test and/or contact your ISP to resolve speed issues you may be experiencing.
