It's nice to know what is possible where you live, or do business. Hover over the state you live in, to see the average peak internet speed for each state. To see average speeds by state or how US internet stacks up against our close overseas neighbors, click on a link in the index to be taken to the relevant table. Note: data is sourced via Akamai in For more recent updates, click on the link 'Internet Speeds In America - Update' in the index below.
By using the fastest measurement observed from each unique IP address, we are capturing just those connections that reached maximum throughput rates. Presenting an average mitigates the impact of the extremes - while there may be users connecting at Gigabit speeds in a given country, there will also be users connecting at dial-up, satellite, or DSL speeds" - Akamai.
Our data comes from the latest Akamai State of the Internet report. Pros of an Asymmetrical Connection Price. Asymmetrical connections are almost always less expensive.
Fast download speeds. Investing in symmetrical speeds will make more sense if you are… A mid-size or large company with many employees. Heavy users of collaboration tools including UCaaS and voice. Moving or are already using applications and services to the cloud Google Drive, Office , Salesforce, etc. Productivity bottlenecks are appearing between your tools.
Scaling up your operations and need to prepare additional capacity for growth. An asymmetrical connection might fulfill your needs if you are… A small company with only a few employees.
You have one location, or are not part of a larger network. This approach ensures that the entire bandwidth of the internet connection is maxed out, and thereby the maximum data throughput can be measured.
Recording the data throughput against measurement time finally yields the available internet speed for downloading data. Upload speed is tested by reversing the sequence of the download analysis. Again multiple connections are opened to the test server. Instead of downloading a file, a large file of random data is created on your device and pushed through all connections to the server.
Pushing the data to the server over the network via multiple streams ensures that the maximum throughput is measured. Again, recording the data throughput against time yields the available internet speed for uploading data. During the ping test, the device sends a small data package over the network to the test server on the internet. When the server receives this package, it will send it back to the device, completing the roundtrip. The time it takes the data package to complete the roundtrip is called latency, also known as ping.
To achieve an accurate reading, multiple ping tests are conducted consecutively, with the final result being the average of all these tests.
All these are automatically handled for you when using Speedcheck. But you should take one crucial aspect into account to test speed accurately. Choose the right tool. This depends on the device you want to use, being a phone or tablet, or a computer. To check internet speed on a computer, use your browser and the app on this website.
To achieve accurate results on mobile devices, you should download our iOS or Android app, respectively. This is especially important when running a WiFi speed test.
