Measure connection latency and estimate download and upload performance directly from your browser.
An internet speed test measures the performance of a network connection by testing latency, download speed and upload speed. These measurements can help you understand how your connection performs from your current device and network.
ALVIX Speed Test runs directly in your browser without requiring a separate application. Click Start Speed Test to measure your connection.
Mbps means megabits per second. It is a common unit used to describe internet connection speed.
Mbps is different from MB/s, which means megabytes per second. One byte contains eight bits, so the numerical value of a transfer rate changes depending on which unit is being used.
Internet speed can vary depending on network congestion, Wi-Fi signal quality, the device being used, the connection between your network and the test server, and other network conditions.
For a more consistent comparison, run tests under similar conditions and avoid heavy downloads, uploads or other bandwidth-intensive activity during the test.

Lower ping generally means lower network latency. What is considered good depends on the application, network path and distance to the destination server.
Wi-Fi performance can be affected by signal strength, interference, distance from the access point, wireless congestion and device capabilities.
Yes. A speed test transfers data between your browser and the test server, so running a test consumes some of your available bandwidth.
Many internet connections are designed with different download and upload capacities. Network conditions and service configuration can also affect the measured results.
