WIFI SPEED TEST IN MBPS DOWNLOAD
Why Are Xfinity’s Upload and Download Speeds Different? 90th percentile results remove the lowest tests, which are commonly the result of test error, to provide a higher average that more closely mirrors the actual experience of Xfinity connections we’ve tested. To remedy this, the tables above show 90th percentile results in addition to raw Xfinity speed test averages. This results in lower speed averages than you are likely to experience on a properly-installed Comcast Xfinity connection. Keep in mind that these test results are run by actual users, not technicians or IT experts - because of this, our Xfinity speed test results often include home networking issues caused by user error. Think of it like opening additional lanes on a crowded highway: more vehicles (devices/users) can access the highway (internet) and the flow of traffic (speed) moves faster due to less congestion.Xfinity speed test results shown above are based on thousands of real-world Comcast Xfinity connections. With 2.5 Gbps internet, more people and devices in your household will experience faster speeds. When you increase your internet to 2.5 Gbps, each of those devices’ connections become 2.5 times faster, at 250 Mbps. For example, if you previously had 1 gig internet with 10 connected devices, then each device was getting about 100 Mbps of speed. This is because the increased bandwidth to your home’s network is delivering more speed to each connected device. If your household relies on internet for everyday connections like working from home, streaming services, virtual assistants, smart home devices, etc., 2.5 Gbps internet will make your connections faster than before. When using devices that are not fully capable of handling 2.5 Gbps throughput, the fastest connection speeds will be achieved by directly connecting to the Ethernet port instead of using WiFi. Though 2.5 Gbps capable cable modems can receive up to 2.5 Gbps speeds, it is important to note that this bandwidth will be divided among your connected devices. A device with a 2.5 Gb Ethernet port and a direct Ethernet connection between cable modem and computer are required to achieve speeds up to 2 Gbps (these ports are rare but can be found in some laptop and desktop computers). Many factors affect your achieved speed, such as the age and type of your connected device, and your connection method, to name a few. What to expect from 2.5 Gbps internet Your speed test is unlikely to return 2.5 Gbps download speeds So, the more devices you have connected to the internet in your home, the more bandwidth you’ll need to maintain high speeds across them. Think of it as a huge water pipe running into your home, with a network of smaller pipes branching off of it to carry water to different areas: with each intersection point, less water flows through each pipe. Internet service is delivered to your home and as you connect different devices, it is divided and shared among them, reducing the speed of data transmission.
Our high-speed data plans are designed to support the bandwidth needs of many devices at the same time. How speed is delivered to your connected devices With that in mind, if you run a speed test from a device with an expected WiFi speed that is lower than your plan, the results will be limited to roughly your device’s expected WiFi speed. Results are often lower than plan speeds due to various factors outside your internet provider’s control, including WiFi conditions and device capabilities. It is important to understand that this test does not measure the speed of the internet connection to your home, it measures the speed of the internet connection to a device within your home. Why are my speed test results lower than my plan speeds?
