Interpreting Your Measurements: How to Act on Speedy Data
A practical guide to understanding your speed and stability test results, and making decisions to improve your network.
Key benefit: Translates data into concrete actions to optimize your internet connection.
After running a test with Speedy, you will see several numbers: download, upload, ping, and jitter. But what do they really mean?
**Speed (Mbps)**: The amount of data you can send (upload) or receive (download) per second. Crucial for streaming and downloads.
**Latency (Ping)**: The time it takes for a signal to go to and from a server. Low ping is vital for smooth gaming and video calls.
**Jitter**: The variation in latency. High jitter indicates instability and can cause interruptions in real-time applications.
**Stability Analysis**: If you run multiple tests, Speedy will show you the variations, revealing how consistent your connection is.
**Take Action:** If your values are not as expected, check Speedy alerts and recommendations. It could be anything from a router restart to optimizing your WiFi.

FAQ
What do Mbps, Ping, and Jitter mean in Speedy?
Mbps (download/upload) is your speed; Ping is latency (delay); Jitter is the variation in that latency (instability).
How do Speedy alerts and recommendations help me?
They warn you about specific issues (high ping, unstable jitter) and give you practical steps (restart router, check WiFi) to optimize your network.
