Net Speed Test: Is Your ISP Delivering What You Pay For?

Trust, but Verify

ISPs are notorious for "up to" marketing. "Up to 500 Mbps" can legally mean 50 Mbps during peak hours if you don't read the fine print. Regular net speed test audits are your only defense.

Peak Hours Traffic

Cable internet is a shared medium. When your neighbors get home at 6 PM, does your speed tank? Run a net speed test at 8 PM and compare it to 8 AM. If there's a 50% drop, your local node is congested.
