Internet Speed Test

What do my fibre internet speed test results mean?

Your internet speed test results are a solid indication of your connection to your internet provider. Fibre broadband supports symmetrical internet speeds, meaning your connection has the same speed for both downloads and uploads.

If you have any gamers in the house, you can also pay attention to your latency speed test results. This figure isn't too important for day-to-day activities, but it can play havoc with online gaming.

When you first run our internet speed test, you'll be presented with the number of megabits per second (Mbps) your connection operated at during the test. The first result is your download speed. If you click on 'Show More Info', your upload speed and latency will also be displayed. Expect the upload number to be about the same as the download speed.

Is this only a fibre internet speed test?

Our internet speed test will record your connection performance, no matter the type of internet technology you're using. You might be on a fibre internet plan, a mobile plan, or any other method of getting online.

What can affect an internet speed test?

When you test internet speed, consider the results a guide, rather than gospel, because there are several things that can impact an internet speed test.

Location

Your speed test can be affected by your distance from the test server that is sending and receiving the data. The closer the server, the faster your internet speed may appear.

Devices

The number of devices currently connected to the network in your home can affect internet speed test results, especially if any of them are set to automatically download updates or upload files to the cloud.

Traffic in your home

Any concurrent traffic on your home's network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) can impact your internet connection. This can even be the case if it's just transferring or streaming files from one device to another, as opposed to internet traffic. However, local transfers like this need to be pretty big to affect modern home networking hardware to the point where it significantly impacts internet speed test results.

Peak periods

When more people are online at the same time in your local area, it can result in a slower internet speed due to congestion. You'll need to consider congestion if you run your internet speed tests between 7pm and 11pm

Your setup

Your home network setup and the types of devices you are using can impact your internet speed test results. For example, if you run the test on your computer that's connected via Ethernet cable to your router or modem router, you may get a faster speed than if you use a Wi-Fi connection. This will also have an impact on latency

What is a good fibre internet speed?

Ideally, you want your internet speed to be close to or equal to the speed tier you're paying for. The speed tier you sign up for is what your connection is theoretically able to reach, but unless you have the right networking equipment, you may not be able to attain the highest advertised speeds, particularly when it comes to 10Gbps plans.

Still, Singapore is fortunate enough to have one of the fastest internet speeds in the world, so even if you can't reach the advertised speeds, chances are you're getting more than enough bandwidth to support your household.

What fibre broadband speed do I need?

There are three main considerations when choosing an internet speed to suit your household:

1. How many people use the internet in your home? The more people using your connection simultaneously, the faster the internet speed you should consider.
2. How many devices connect to the internet? The more devices that are connected the more speed you need. This could be the usual devices like laptops, phones and tablets, but increasingly smart devices like TVs, security systems, and even fridges.
3. What kind of activities do the people in your house do when they are online? Consider the things that have a major impact on the upload or download speed. This includes streaming HD or 4K video, music, online gaming, automatic device backups, cloud storage, using video chats like FaceTime, and more.

Most households won't need a faster internet speed than 1Gbps, but you're the best judge when it comes to finding the best fibre internet plan for your needs.

Here's a breakdown of the expected speeds for each speed tier and how many people can comfortably use them:

1 Person

 1Gbps recommended

• 4K video streaming
• Web browsing
• Online gaming
• Small business-grade internet

---

2-4 People

2-6Gbps recommended

• 4K video streaming
• Online gaming
• Multiple users at once
• Medium-sized business-grade internet

See Plans

---

4+ People

7-10Gbps recommended

• 4K video streaming
• Online gaming
• Large downloads
• Enterprise-grade internet

How do I check my broadband speed tier?

Fibre broadband speeds generally vary from 1 to 10Gbps, which place a maximum limit on your internet speed for uploads and downloads. The simplest way to find out what speed tier you're on is to check the most recent bill from your provider or to contact them directly.

Internet speed tests can also help determine your speed, however, as previously mentioned, inappropriate networking equipment may limit the maximum speed of your connection.

What can I do if my internet speed is slow?

Once you've performed an internet speed test on multiple days (and at different times of day) and have determined your internet speed is slow or unreliable, your best course of action is to talk to your internet provider. They deal with these kinds of issues every day and should be able to give you some options, if any are possible.

But there are some things you can try yourself to improve the situation, such as investing in a mesh Wi-Fi system for greater connection coverage or moving your modem router to a better location.
