Want to check your current speed? www.speedtest.net
Things you should consider before running your speed test: Be sure to close all other windows and applications. Internet speed changes throughout the day. Test your speed multiple times for clear results. Run the speed test in the same room and in clear sight of your router for the most accurate result. Running multiple devices or using streaming services while speed testing will impact your results.
