If your result feels slow

Try moving closer to the router, testing on another device and running it again. If speeds are still low, it may be time to compare full fibre or a better package.

Make sense of your result

Speed test first, smarter broadband choice next.

A quick test helps you spot whether your current connection is keeping up, but the next step is choosing the right type of broadband for your home.

Test your real speed

Run the test on the same Wi‑Fi and device you normally use. This gives a more realistic view than just looking at the advertised package speed.

Check your household needs

A single person browsing online may need far less than a busy home with gaming, streaming, smart devices and remote working.

Helpful checks

Quick things to remember before switching.

Why does Wi‑Fi speed change around the house?

Walls, distance from the router, older devices and interference can all reduce Wi‑Fi speed even if the broadband line itself is capable of more.

Should I test more than once?

Yes. Try once near the router and once where you normally use the internet. This helps show whether the issue is the broadband line or Wi‑Fi coverage.

Does high speed always mean best value?

No. A cheaper package can be better if it fits the household. The best deal is the one that matches usage, availability and monthly cost.

Where should customers go next?
