Connection Stability
A stable connection maintains consistent speed and low latency. Unstable connections drop packets, spike in latency, and vary in speed. Stability matters more than raw speed for most online activities. Gaming, video calls, and streaming all suffer from unstable connections.
What We Test
Packet loss measures dropped data packets. Latency variation shows stability. Connection drops count disconnections. Speed consistency checks if your speed stays steady. Jitter measures latency variation. Good connections have under 1% packet loss and under 10ms jitter.
Fixing Connection Issues
Restart your modem and router. Check cables. Reduce Wi-Fi interference. Update router firmware. Contact your ISP if problems persist. Pair with fast DNS from our DNS speed test for best results.
