After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
That’s your WiFi?
The higher the number, the better.
Well, not for ping time or jitter.
Is this good. Are the higher numbers better//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171222/55cfe73a6cfaae34674995583f923921.jpg
It’s okay if you’re doing light stuff on the internet.
I’d recommend 50mbps or higher would be the sweet spot for a lot of people.
I average about 88 to 91 Mbps download now. To be honest, I can't really tell the difference between that and when my best was 30 Mbps. The difference just isn't that noticeable to me.


May I ask what is a good app to use for this test please? Thank you

I think everybody should get several speed test apps .... the difference between apps that state that they are correct is astonishing
While speedtest is a good app, you don’t need it. Just open Safari and go to the website http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest - just as good.
If all you're doing is general web browsing you probably won't see a difference. Start having multiple users downloading, streaming, and gaming at the same time a slow internet connection will raise it's ugly head. Lets not forget all of the other devices in a smart home fighting for bandwidth as well. I realize you're smart enough to go with what works for you personally, just building off your comment ...I average about 88 to 91 Mbps download now.

8 Mbps is pretty slow for Download. Any idea why it so slow?

Yeah, I don't have the congestion. Small town, 2 in home with an iPhone. That could make a difference.
