Welcome to our Broadband Speed Test. You've read what the advertisers promise about broadband speeds and all of the talk is about broadband download speeds, but what broadband speed are you actually getting into your home? Using our broadband speed test will determine the broadband speed you are experiencing and our broadband speed test will reveal your actual broadband upload speed and broadband download speed.

The Compare Broadband UK broadband speed test is designed to provide you with the most accurate results available and the speed test is best suited to UK broadband users although the speed test will also work for broadband connections in other countries.

The speed check reports on the actual internet speed for uploads and downloads available through your broadband connection but the broadband speed test results are an indication of your connection speed only.

Broadband download speed:

This is the broadband speed your connection can download information from the internet, this is important for downloading music, video, email attachments and other files.

Broadband upload speed test:

This is the broadband speed that your connection sends information back to the internet and is important for online gaming and internet phone calls.



For the most accurate results:

• Make sure you are not downloading anything
• Shut down any software that uses the internet
• Shut down any other computers on your network

Slow internet connection?

If the broadband speed test shows your internet connection is not as fast as you thought, it might be that you are a long way from your phone exchange, which will affect the results of a broadband speed test if your broadband is ADSL.
