Your test results may vary at different times of the day due to network congestion, and the web browser you choose, etc. To get a good understanding of your bandwidth run the test at different times of the day.

- What is FAST.com measuring?
FAST.com speed test gives you an estimate of your current Internet speed. You will generally be able to get this speed from leading Internet services, which use globally distributed servers.

Download speed is most relevant for people who are consuming content on the Internet, and we want FAST.com to be a very simple and fast speed test.
- What about ping, latency, upload, and other things?

To calculate your Internet speed, FAST.com performs a series of downloads from and uploads to Netflix servers and calculates the maximum speed your Internet connection can provide. More details are in our blog post.
