What's nPerf speed test ? How does it work ?

Download bitrate
Indicates the amount of data your connection can receive in one second from the nPerf server. The highest the measured value, the best is the bitrate of your connection.

Upload bitrate
Indicates the amount of data your connection can send in one second to the nPerf server. The highest the measured value, the best is the bitrate of your connection.

Latency (ping)
Indicates the delay a small packet of data requires to make a round-trip from your computer to the nPerf server. The shorter the delay, the most reactive is your connection.

nPerf qualify accurately your internet connection's performances.

This speed test relies on an exclusive algorithm allowing you to measure accurately download bitrate, upload bitrate and latency of your connection.

nPerf uses a worldwide dedicated servers network, which is optimized to deliver enough bitrate to saturate your connection, so that we can measure its bitrate accurately.

nPerf speed test is compatible with all broadband and mobile connections: ADSL, VDSL, cable, optical fiber FTTH / FTTB, satellite, wifi, wimax, cellular 2G / 3G / 4G (LTE), 5G.

The nPerf speed test has been designed by telecom enthusiasts to enable you to accurately measure the speed of your Internet connection easily, in only one click! Oh... and this speed test is absolutely free of ads! Enjoy it ... and if you like it, spread the word :)

What is a good test result ?

  • With 2 Mb/s in download, accessing your inbox is smooth, and messages open instantly even large ones.
  • An upload rate of at least 1 Mb/s ensures that emails with attachments are sent swiftly and without interruption.

💡 Did you know? A plain text email usually weighs only about 50 KB, but a few attached photos can easily exceed 10 MB.

  • A bandwidth above 3 Mb/s guarantees seamless playback, even in high audio quality, with no buffering.
  • With 1 Mb/s upstream, your actions (likes, skips, syncing) happen instantly.

💡 Useful info: One hour of standard quality music equals about 45 MB, or roughly 3 minutes of full loading time at 2 Mb/s.

  • With 3 to 4 Mb/s or more available, you can browse efficiently on any site, even those embedding videos.
  • At 1 Mb/s upload, interactions on websites remain smooth. However, latency plays a major role in responsiveness above 100 ms, pages may take noticeably longer to load.

💡 Fun fact: Google’s homepage weighs just 300 KB, while some news sites exceed 5 MB.

  • With 20 to 25 Mb/s in download, you can enjoy 4K streaming on YouTube, Netflix, or Disney+ without any buffering.
  • An upstream rate between 10 and 45 Mb/s allows you to stream in 1080p at 60 fps or upload large 4K videos quickly.

💡 Good to know: A 4K video can consume up to 7 GB per hour, which equals a sustained rate of around 15 Mb/s.

  • With 160 Mb/s download capacity, you can download a 70 GB game in under an hour ideal for frequent gamers.
  • From 15 Mb/s upload and above, online synchronization is smooth, voice chat remains stable, and gameplay feels seamless.

💡 Fun fact: A single Call of Duty session can generate up to 100 MB of outbound data per hour!

  • A download rate of 5 Mb/s or higher ensures fluid, stable HD meetings, even with several participants.
  • A similar upload capacity keeps your image and sound clear during live transmission. To avoid delays during calls, latency is key keeping it below 50 ms is ideal.

💡 Good to know: A 1080p video call can use around 1.5 GB per hour.

  • With 5 Mb/s downstream, all your content (stories, lives, reels) loads rapidly and in high definition.
  • From 5 Mb/s upstream, you can post instantly, even large video files.

💡 Good to know: A 30 second HD Reel weighs about 25 MB at 5 Mb/s, it uploads in just a few seconds.

  • At 5 Mb/s download, your files become available almost instantly, even while multitasking.
  • With 5 Mb/s or more upload, transfers are fast and steady, without interruption.

💡 The number: 50 files of 5 MB each = 250 MB, or about 6–7 minutes of transfer time at 5 Mb/s under optimal conditions.

  • With a very short delay under 20 milliseconds your calls are crisp and instantaneous, with no lag.
  • When latency rises to around 80–100 milliseconds, browsing and video playback remain smooth, but you may notice slight delays during live conversations.
  • Latency measures how long it takes for data to travel from your device to a server and back (in milliseconds – ms). The lower it is, the more “instant” your connection feels.
  • Low latency (for example, 10–20 ms) allows smooth video calls and responsive online gaming.
  • High latency (for example, 100 ms or more) can cause audio/video delays or sluggish response times.

💡 Good to know: Latency mainly depends on your distance from the server and the quality of your network infrastructure (fiber, 4G/5G, satellite, etc.). A fast connection alone doesn’t always guarantee responsiveness.
