This will give you a clear picture about how close download speed is in relation to the speed that you pay for. Hi Skeptic, I download files through Firefox, using the 'download statusbar' add-on. My surfing speed is not always normal, no. It can be sluggish at times, too. But mostly it's downloading actual files which is very slow. Page 1 of 2 - Good ping test results; but SLOOOWWWW downloads - posted in Windows XP, 2000, 2003, NT: Hi everyone, Is there any explaination on why I would have good ping times (less than 100Ms and no dropped packets) but yet whenever I go to download an actual file, it's REALLY slow? Like 5kb/sec? I called my ISP and they're not throttling my connection or anything either.

There is more to an Internet connection’s speed than just its bandwidth. This is especially true with satellite Internet connections, which can offer speeds of up to 15 Mbps – but will still feel slow.

Latency can be an issue with all Internet connections and networks. Wired network connections tend to have the lowest latency, while wireless connections generally have higher latency.

1. Ping - 25 ms Ping time is the latency or delay in the signal. It is the round trip time in milliseconds that it takes the signal to travel from your computer to the destination server and back. 25 ms is very low latency (lower is better). Download Speed - 15.52 Mbps 15 Mbps is an average download speed.
2. Low Ping, Low Download Speed by Thratorn| September 3, 2013 11:22 PM PDT I've recently put a wireless card in my computer and for about 2-3 days it was fine good download/upload etc.
3. What is 'ping', 'download speed', and 'upload speed'? March 22, 2014 02:16. The ping is the reaction time of your connection–how fast you get a response after you've sent out a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection, especially in applications where timing is everything (like video games). Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms).

Latency vs. Bandwidth

Internet connections, including satellite Internet connections, are advertised with speeds like “up to 15 Mbps.” You may look at a satellite Internet connection offering this speed and assume the experience of using it would be comparable to the experience of using a 15 Mbps cable Internet connection, but you would be wrong.

• Bandwidth: Bandwidth determines how fast data can be transferred over time. Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred per second.
• Latency: Latency is delay. Latency is how long it takes data to travel between its source and destination, measured in milliseconds.

Latency in the Real World

Let’s say you are browsing the web on different types of connections. Here’s how latency would “feel”:

• Satellite Internet Connection (High Speed, High Latency): You would click a link on a web page and, after a noticeable delay, the web page would start downloading and show up almost all at once.
• Theoretical Connection (Low Speed, Low Latency): You would click a link on a web page and the web page would start loading immediately. However, it would take a while to load completely and you would see images load one-by-one.
• Cable Internet Connection (High Speed, Low Latency): You would click a link on a web page and the web page would appear almost immediately, downloading all at once.

Latency always manifests as a delay. For example, if you are having a Skype chat with someone on a high-latency Internet connection, you would be out of sync with each other. You would have to pause in between sentences or you would end up talking over each other thanks to the delay.

If you were playing an online game, your actions would be delayed and events happening in the game would have a noticeable delay before they reached your computer, rather than feeling near-instantaneous. For example, if you were playing a first-person shooter game on a high-latency connection, you would shoot at someone on your screen, but the delay means they would be long gone by the time your projectile got there.

What Causes Latency

Both bandwidth and latency depend on more than your Internet connection – they are affected by your network hardware, the remote server’s location and connection, and the Internet routers between your computer and the server.

Packets don’t travel through routers instantly. Each router a packet has to travel through introduces a delay of a few milliseconds, which can add up if the packet has to travel through many routers to reach the other side of the world.

However, some types of connections – like satellite Internet connections – have high latency even in the best conditions. It generally takes between 500 and 700ms for a packet to reach an Internet service provider over a satellite Internet connection.

Latency isn’t just a problem for satellite Internet connections, however. You can probably browse a website hosted on another continent without noticing latency very much, but if you are in California and playing an online game with servers located in Europe, the latency may be more perceptible.

Measuring Latency

You can measure the latency between your computer and a web address with the ping command. In our example, it takes 11 milliseconds for traffic to go between our computer and Google’s servers. If we had a satellite Internet connection, this could be as high as 700ms.

To show the impact of distance on latency, we can ping Baidu – a Chinese search engine. Baidu doesn’t have any servers in North America, so our computer has to communicate with its servers in China. The latency between our computer and Baidu’s servers is 228ms.

When we ping our local router, we see a latency of 1ms. Our router is close and we can connect directly without going through other routers.

You can see how much latency each router – or “hop” – is adding with the traceroute command.

Latency is always with us; it’s just a matter of how significant it is. At low latencies, data should transfer almost instantaneously and we shouldn’t be able to notice a delay. As latencies increase, we begin to notice more of a delay.

What do the numbers mean in a download/upload speed test? Are these good or bad numbers?

Ping 85ms

D/sp 0.28

upl/sp0.92

1. The Greater The Number Is The Better Phone

2. It is good because the higher the number is the better score which means better phone

3. For comparison, my reported speeds are:

   Ping: 9ms
   Download: 49.95 mbs
   Upload: 1.5 mbs

   My upload is terrible. But whatever internet you have, you should change it, because it's ridiculously bad. What is it , like a 56k dial-up line or something?

4. good and bad depends on what you do, for surfing is nice figure, to go up in levels download huge files, play online games well then its normal values.

   • those are normal values for you? Where on earth do you live?!

     • Hollow earth
       Mine is
       ping 31ms
       download 11.29 Mbps
       upload 0.87 Mbps

       maybe the fellow has limited internet subscription, so based on the subscription then its normal

5. Hello, the ping number means the time it takes the connection from your computer to reach a server and back. What is the advertised speed for your internet package? What measurement is this speed test using? It is better if you take different tests and from different sites if possible. Also keep in mind that the closest the server is to you, the better it is. Also, if you do your testing at peak hours, it might affect your readings.

   kbps= kilobits per second
   kBps= kilobytes per second
   Mbps= megabit per second
   MBps=megabytes per second

   You could get your true speed by getting the measurement you get in kB/second divided by 8 and then divide it by 1024.

   • I always thought that 8 bits = 1 byte therefore 1KB would equal 1000 Bytes or 8000 bits.

     • Hello, yes you are right. I meant 8 kilobits

6. I would call these speeds terrible. You didn't mention what kind of Internet connection you have,is it Dial-Up,Cable, DSL or whatever. My
   take on those speeds is that your Ping is not bad,it is the time it takes your signal to travel from your computer to a certain site and back to your computer.
   Normally upload and download speeds are measured in kb/s so your speeds are low. Another thing is that your upload and download speeds look reversed. Normally your download speeds are many times faster then your upload speeds.
   I would call your ISP and have this looked into.

7. Hi Ray,

   Please take the test at speedtest.net and pingtest.net (take both). Chose a server closest to your location and post the results (along with the distance from the server to your location).

   Ping: Ping is how long it takes for your system to speak to the server and come back. When your computer sends out a packet (a box of data) to a server, it must respond as quickly as possible so that you don't experience lag (the anomaly of receiving data extremely later than anticipated). The lower the response time, the better.

   Download: This is how fast your network is downloading a file. I can't say for sure how well you did on this test, as it depends what you're paying for. Generally, 10mbps is very decent. Anything less than 2-3/mbps should raise suspicion. The higher the speed, the better.

   Upload: This is how long it takes your network to upload a file to a server. Depending on the package you have from your ISP, 0.9 is quite good. The higher the speed, the better.

   Jitter: Jitter is the variation in traversal routes. Generally, this shouldn't be any higher than 3 - 5/ms. Anything higher and your network is probably experiencing interference. The lower the jitter, the better.

   Packet Loss: Packet loss is (as it sounds) the amount of packets that were lost on the route. You shouldn't lose any packets, since the test is being conducted on the TCP rule-set. The less loss, the better.

   • but how do you know if its good by the number? is everything good on the left side of the point or the right side?? for example 1.87 or .8 or .87 which is greater than? this is what i dont get.

     • You don't know which is the greatest number between 0.8 and 0.87? That's not really something we can help with. Jeff already explained for which stats the higher number is better...

       Tests give a different , but not wildly varying result, because conditions are not the same all the time. You're sending a series of electronic pulses across continents - of course it's not going to be exactly the same result each time.

   • and why does the tests give you different numbers every time? how am i or we know which to believe?

     • Ping is used to determine the speed/distance between you and another.

       You will always find that there are different ping speeds, this is because the difference in distance between you and each of the things you ping will be different. If you were to play an online game you will always get a ping value, and the lowest ping will mean the least amount of jumping graphics, lag and other things occur.
       to give you a better undertanding of ping, click start>run then type in cmd
       When this opens type tracert http://www.google.co.uk
       lots of info appears but its basically showing you all of the different servers you apre passing through to reach google itself. The number at the end of each line is the speed.
       Try it with a few different web addresses
