How can I test my Internet speed?
Not all speed test sites are created equal. Use WOW!'s speed test for the most accurate results and follow these tips:
-
Use WOW!’s Speed Test site. The most accurate test is via WOW!’s speed test page because it’s connected to the WOW! network, the same way you get your internet.
-
Connect directly to your modem with an ethernet cable to get the best results. Recommend using at a minimum a category 6A ethernet cable for speeds above 1Gig.
-
Turn off programs, apps, and other devices, to capture the highest bandwidth.
-
Confirm your device’s capabilities, to ensure it can receive the speeds you have subscribed to. Learn about device limitations
-
WiFi Connections: If you’re testing with a device connected by WiFi, understand that your speed will be affected by things such as signal strength, interference from other devices, distance from the router and WiFi technology.
