About Broadband Speed Tests

Using a broadband speed test is essential for accurately measuring the performance of your broadband connection, including download speed, upload speed, and latency.

This information can help you diagnose network issues, verify that you’re receiving the needed bandwidth to your device, and ensure a stable connection for activities like video streaming, gaming, or video conferencing.

For customers with IQMAX+, a speed test is available directly within the IQMAX+ application. Learn more about IQMAX+ here.

Here are three other reliable broadband speed test services you can use:

• Speedtest by Ookla – One of the most popular and trusted speed test platforms worldwide.
• WiFiman by Ubiquiti– Another test powered by Ubiquiti which provides download, upload, and latency.
• Fast.com – A simple test powered by Netflix to assess streaming readiness.

When running a speed test please select the server closest to your location for the best results.

When testing speeds greater than 1 gigabit per second it is important to use a native application as opposed to a webpage for the most accurate results. Links to these applications are available below.
