Speedtest measures the full throughput capacity of an internet connectionĬonsumer-initiated testing is the most reliable way to understand the throughput capacity (maximum experienced speeds) of a network connection. Mobile network samples measure a radio network’s QoS, including signal, coverage, and availability, as well as quality of connected experiences (including Wi-Fi)Ĭonsumer QoE measures quality of video streaming, video conferencing, gaming, CDN and cloud provider performance, and web browsing on mobile networks Additionally, we gather billions of daily mobile network samples measuring network quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE).Ĭonsumer-initiated testing measures a fixed broadband or mobile network’s QoS: full throughput capacity, latency, ping, and jitter This guide shares the details of Ookla’s methodology, including how our methods differ from other network testing providers, why Ookla is uniquely capable of measuring super-fast fiber and 5G connections, and definitions for all the metrics we cover.Įvery time a user presses “Go” on Speedtest, Ookla captures robust data about that fixed broadband or mobile network connection. Ookla’s enterprise clients use these robust global datasets and solutions to improve networks and create better connected experiences for consumers. We then apply rigorous aggregation and analysis to this robust global dataset, ensuring that our measurements provide the most accurate reflection of real-world consumer network experience - which is why Ookla is the preferred data provider for telecommunications operators, regulatory bodies, trade bodies, analysts, journalists, nonprofits, and other connected industries worldwide. In addition to consumer-initiated testing, Ookla collects billions of mobile network samples daily, which measure radio signal levels, network coverage and availability, and QoE metrics for a number of connected experiences, such as streaming video, video conferencing, gaming, web browsing, and CDN and cloud provider performance. Because Ookla has the world’s largest network of testing servers located across every country and major population center, Speedtest does not introduce any extra travel time as the data passes between the device and server - which provides the most accurate measure of real-world network speed. This consumer-initiated testing reflects how people actually experience the internet, when and where it actually matters to them.

By capturing real-world metrics and delivering insights back to network operators and policymakers, Ookla serves as the bridge between consumers and the telecommunications industry.Įvery day, millions of people press the “Go” button on Speedtest to better understand the performance and quality of their internet connections. For over 17 years, Ookla has been perfecting the way we test connectivity services and transparently reporting on their performance. In this evolving connectivity landscape, Ookla remains fiercely committed to measuring worldwide internet performance - as well as availability, quality of service (QoS), and quality of experience (QoE) of fixed broadband and mobile networks. Today, modern connected experiences require reliable, consistently high performance across many additional metrics beyond download speed, including low latency for gaming, high-quality video streaming, good upload speeds for teleconferencing, and fast page load times while browsing on a mobile device. Speedtest®, the company’s flagship product, is the most accurate tool for measuring a network’s capabilities. When Ookla® was founded in 2006, high-speed home internet was just becoming available in many locations, and consumers needed a reliable way to test their network speed.
