How to test your internet speed the right way

Step by step for a reliable speed test: what to close, cable or Wi-Fi, and how to interpret it.

Before testing

Pause downloads, automatic updates and videos on other devices. Close heavy tabs. A single cloud backup running can 'steal' a good part of your upload.

Cable to measure the plan, Wi-Fi to measure daily life

With a cable you see what the provider delivers to your home. On Wi-Fi you see what actually reaches your device. Both are useful — and the difference shows how much Wi-Fi is holding you back.

Repeat at different times

One test is a snapshot. Three or four tests at different moments make a portrait. BunnyTest keeps the history on your device to make comparison easy.

On your phone

On 4G/5G the test uses your plan's data — on fast connections it can exceed 100 MB. Prefer testing on Wi-Fi if your data plan is small.
