Pick what you
actually use it for.
Same test, different verdict. A 200 Mbps line that's great for streaming can feel awful for gaming (ping) or working from home (upload). Pick what matters and we'll grade the result against the right thresholds.
Ping, jitter, packet loss, not just speed.
Competitive play needs <30 ms ping, <12 ms jitter, <0.5 % loss. Headline download barely matters once you're past about 50 Mbps, the line's stability does. We grade for all four.
Upload and reliability, both matter.
Zoom HD wants ~3 Mbps upload, screen-share + recording closer to 10. Drop-outs ruin calls more than speed-dips. We grade for upload first, reliability second, headline download last.
Sustained 4K and steady jitter.
4K Netflix wants ~25 Mbps sustained; HDR 4K wants ~40. Buffering is rarely a speed problem, it's a jitter problem. We test for both.
Concurrent, many devices at once.
Four 4K streams + a Zoom call + cloud-sync running in the background can each individually fit in 100 Mbps but together saturate a 200 Mbps line. We grade for concurrent throughput.
Run the general
test instead.
The default broadband health check runs the same engine and grades for all four framings in one go. Useful when you want the broad picture before picking a specialised lens.
