Run a broadband speed test

Running a speed test will let you know your:

• current broadband speed
• download speed
• upload speed.

Before running a speed test, make sure that there are no other devices using the internet, for example:

• TV streaming
• gaming
• downloading

This will make sure that the test gives you a more accurate reading of your current speed. 

For best results, use a laptop or computer connected to your router via an ethernet cable. 

Make a note of your speeds once the test has finished, so that you can easily compare at the next step.
