Test
To
run
the

Test,
tap
on
the
triangular
“play”
button.
It
will
take
about
10
seconds
to
complete
these
three
measurements:
Latency
-
This
measures
the
time
needed
to
send
a
short
message
to
the
test
server
and
receive
it
back.
This
round-trip
time
is
measured
in
milliseconds
(1/1000th
of
a
second).
The
lower
the
better.
Values
under
20
ms
are
great
for
hard-core
online
gamers.
In
general,
values
under
60
ms
are
acceptable
for
general
use.
Values
above
100
ms
can
impact
the
comfort
of
an
audio/video
call
and
add
some
slugginess
to
interactive
applications.

This
measures
how
fast
you
can
fetch
data
from
the
Internet
backbone.
The
value
is
expressed
in
Megabits-per-second.
1
Mega
byte
=
8
Mega
bit
,
so,
for
example,
if
you
measure
a
speed
of
8
Mbps
you
can
download
one
Megabyte
of
data
in
1
second
or
one
Gigabyte
in
1000
seconds
(16
minutes).
Sorry
for
this
silly
math!
