The test runs in your browser against Cloudflare’s global network and is an estimate of your actual internet speed. Results are affected by WiFi, other devices and network load. For best results: connect with a network cable and close other apps.

What is a good internet speed?

How much speed you need depends on what you do and how many you are in the household. As a rule of thumb:

HD streaming (film & TV)5 Mbit/s
4K/UHD streaming25 Mbit/s
Video calls3–5 Mbit/s
Online gaming15–25 Mbit/s + low ping
Whole household at once100+ Mbit/s

How to test your broadband correctly

To measure your broadband and not just your WiFi — connect the computer with a network cable. WiFi almost always shows lower speeds, especially far from the router or through several walls. Close other apps, pause downloads and other devices, and run the test a couple of times for a stable value.

The test above measures against Cloudflare’s global network, just like professional speed tests, and gives a good picture of your real connection.

What affects your speed?

The most common reasons for lower-than-expected speed are WiFi (distance, walls and interference), how many devices share the connection at once, an older router, and network load during the evening rush. On mobile broadband, coverage and distance to the mast also matter — an external antenna can make a big difference there.

Ping and jitter affect how responsive the connection feels. Low ping and low jitter give smoother video calls, streaming and gaming — even if the raw speed isn’t extremely high.

Not getting the speed you pay for?

If your wired speed is far below your plan, it may be time to switch. Internetport delivers fast fibre broadband via the city networks and mobile 5G where fibre is missing — with Swedish support and no lock-in on most plans.

Common questions about speed tests

What is a good internet speed?

It depends on how you use the internet. 5 Mbit/s is enough for HD streaming, around 25 Mbit/s for 4K, and video calls need just 3–5 Mbit/s. For a whole household streaming, gaming and working at the same time, 100 Mbit/s or more gives comfortable margins. Latency (ping) matters most for gaming and video calls — lower is better.

How do I test my broadband correctly?

Connect your computer with a network cable if you can — WiFi almost always shows lower speeds than your actual connection. Close other apps and downloads, pause other devices, and run the test a couple of times to get a stable value. Testing over WiFi far from the router mainly measures the WiFi, not your broadband.

What affects my speed?

The most common factors are WiFi (distance to the router, walls, interference), how many devices share the connection, the router itself, and network load at peak hours in the evening. On mobile broadband, coverage and distance to the mast also matter. If wired speeds are far below what you pay for, contact your provider.

What are ping and jitter?

Ping (latency) is how long it takes for data to travel to a server and back, measured in milliseconds — low ping means a responsive connection, which matters for gaming and video calls. Jitter is the variation in that latency; low, stable jitter gives smoother calls and streams. Both are measured by the test above.

Is the speed test free?

Yes, the test is completely free and runs directly in your browser — no app or sign-up needed. It measures against Cloudflare’s global network, which gives a good estimate of your real internet speed.
