Bandwidth Place

Free internet speed test that checks download, upload, ping and jitter in about 30 seconds

Visit Bandwidth Place

Bandwidth Place is a free internet speed test that measures download speed, upload speed, ping and jitter by sending and receiving test files to a server near the user. The test starts with small files and increases their size until the reading settles, and it can use up to 300 MB of data. Results are explained in plain English, with guidance on what values suit streaming, gaming, video calls and browsing.

The page also explains how the test works and notes that Wi-Fi, older devices or other activity on the connection can affect results, recommending a wired connection with nothing else running for a more accurate reading. The tool runs in the browser and takes about 30 seconds, with an option to pause the test. It is available at no cost and does not require an account.
