Results
Once the speed test is complete, you will see the Upload and Download speed of the server you're connected to. The test results will also provide recommendations on how to improve your connection and what online activities it is optimized for.
Slow Speed
Your current connection speed is slow and will not deliver the best browsing experience possible. Consider switching servers and checking your internet connection. If you're using a Multi-hop, consider changing it to a single-hop connection.
Medium Speed
Your current connection speed is average, and while this may be sufficient for basic internet usage, you may experience slower performance while streaming in high-quality or gaming online.
High Speed
Your connection speed is optimized for high bandwidth usage, including 4K streaming and online gaming.
