Internet Performance


When working remotely, a consistent high-speed internet connection is vital. Use a speed test to identify the upload and download speeds of your connection and compare them to our recommendations. There are many variables that could affect the quality of your experience. Bear in mind that if there are others uses of your connection occurring concurrently, for examples streaming services such as Netflix, it may degrade your experience as those other uses will be competing for the same bandwidth on your network.

 

Testing Your Connection

When connected to your home internet, visit the free speedtest.net website or install the app for Android, iOS, or other devices.
