You can select a different location by choosing a new server from the drop-down list before you begin a test, or from the results page before you begin a new test. The Chorus Speed Test will automatically select a test server nearest to you.Just remember to reconnect everything after your test. You might like to take the extra step and temporarily turn off your router's wifi and disconnect ethernet cables from other devices like your TV.
If other family members are using the internet when you run your test, there will be less bandwidth (or capacity on your connection) to run the test properly. Close down all your tabs and restart your browser before beginning the speed test. The Chorus Speed Test runs in your browser and activity in other tabs will slow your system and affect your results.Restart your computer or close memory-hungry applications like image editors, video and music streaming apps as they can slow down your system and skew your test results.Ethernet cables deliver data many times faster than wifi, so always plug in your device before you start your test. Use an ethernet cable to plug your computer into your modem.When you’re ready to test your home connection, here are our suggestions for how to get the most accurate result:
NOTE: Before you begin a speed test, it's important only one computer or device is online in your house when the test is carried out, so if you have flatmates or kids maybe wait until they go out or go to bed. Data is sent from your computer to the test server over multiple connections to measure your maximum upload speed.
The upload test run the same way as the download test, but in reverse. The goal is to send as much information as your connection can handle to accurately measure your download speed. If the test calculates your connection can handle more data, it will open up more connections to send even more information. It does this by requesting a piece of reference data and measuring the real-time transfer speed. A speed test is a free web-based service that measures the speed, latency (delay) and jitter (difference in delay) of data sent between your computer or device and a nearby test server.Ī speed test first checks how fast your connection can download information.
