How does Verizon's internet speed test work?

The Verizon internet speed test works by testing how fast your device can upload and download information. This mimics your typical internet usage experience by accessing nearby servers and measuring the time it takes your device to respond.

What's a good speed for internet?

The Federal Communications Commission standard for broadband internet is a download speed of at least 25 Mbps and upload speed of at least 3 Mbps. That may work for an individual user, but if your home has multiple devices or you do regular video calls, faster speeds and more bandwidth work best. Verizon Fios offers download speeds up to 940 Mbps and upload speeds up to 880 Mbps. Check to see what Verizon internet options are available in your area.

How accurate is an internet speed test?

Internet speed tests mimic your online activity under typical usage conditions, meaning they are reasonably accurate when it comes to how your device is performing on your home internet network.

Is a Wi-Fi speed test faster than the actual speed?

No, Wi-Fi speed tests work like a speed test on a wired device, by testing how fast your device can upload and download information. They reflect how fast your wireless download and upload speeds are on your device at that given time. Learn how to get great speeds on Wi-Fi with a Verizon Fios wireless internet plan.

Why is my internet speed slower than my speed test?

There are a number of things that can influence your internet speed, such as the number of people sharing your internet connection, the device you are using, your location, and more. Your internet speed can also appear slow if you are visiting a website that has slow page speed.
