Frequently asked questions
When you click on the ‘Go’ button, the speed tester measures:
Latency is measured by your device sending a message to a server and the server sends a reply back. This test is repeated multiple times with the lowest value determining the final result.
Tests your download Internet connection speed of your broadband service.
Tests your upload Internet connection speed of your broadband service.
Your internet speed test result will tell you how well your internet is performing in these four key areas:
Download speed: The number of Mbps it takes to download data from a server (for example, images or videos). A higher number means faster speeds. The speed you require depends on your needs, for example, a large family with multiple devices would benefit from 400 Mbps or more.
Upload speed: How fast your internet connection can send information (for example, sending an email or video calling). A higher number means faster speeds. Upload speeds of 3 Mbps and above are considered good, however, if you frequently video call or stream you will benefit from a higher upload speed.
Jitter: Your broadband’s time delay when sending data. If your connection has a lot of jitter you may find that your video call audio quality isn’t good or your calls often drop. The lower the jitter, the better these connections will be.
Ping: Also known as latency, this is your connection’s reaction time. This is particularly important when playing video games. Pings of 100ms or below are average, while lower numbers in the 30s and below are exceptional, providing a smooth gaming experience.
There are a number of factors that can affect the speed of your broadband. To break it down, there are two main categories we use when talking about broadband speed:
This is the speed of your broadband between the roadside cabinet and the router in your home. Sync speed can be affected by the distance from your building to the cabinet, the internal wiring of your house and if the router is connected to a telephone extension cable.
Throughput speed is the speed achieved between your router and the devices in your home. The speed achieved by your device is dependent on the following conditions
- The speed of your broadband connection
- The capability of your device
- The number of devices in your home utilising your broadband
- The signal strength of your WiFi connection
Your Speedtest Plus starts with just one click.
For Vodafone customers with a cable connection, we measure the speed of this connection to your device and, if necessary, to your router in two stages. This allows us to give you specific tips on how to optimize the speed of your home network. For DSL-, Fiber- and Mobile customers we measure the download and upload speed as well as the response time up to your device.
Guidelines for accurate measurements
Frequently asked questions about the Speedtest
Use the Vodafone Speedtest Plus to check your internet speed i.e., the bandwidth of your cable- , LTE- DSL- or VDSL connection as well as Gigaspeed availability. Good to know: the test only shows approximate bandwidth values. It is therefore important to test your connection at least 3 times a day. If you are connected to the internet via WLAN, your results are limited to the bandwidth of this wireless connection which is usually lower than your real connection.
By the way: For Vodafone cable customers, a second measurement stage is available if required.
Step 1: What should I consider before starting the Speedtest Plus?
- Please close all open programs in advance, so that they do not influence the measurement result.
- Make sure that as few devices as possible are active in your home network during the speed test.
- Turn off a VPN connection for the duration of the speed test, if one is active.
- Please do the Speedtest Plus at different times of the day. This will give you a more accurate result.
- Also use different devices with WLAN and/or LAN for the measurement.
Step 2: Click Start
First, we measure your bandwidth for download and upload.
Depending on your bandwidth and device, this may take some time.
After that, we measure the packet delay/ping (the response time of your internet connection).
The packet delay is the time span between sending a data packet to a recipient and the immediately returned response packet. The lower the packet delay time, the better.
The Speedtest is a unique test for measuring your bandwidth. Your big advantage as a Vodafone customer with a cable connection: If we notice during the test that your Internet is slower than promised by your tariff, we also check the route from our servers to your router as well as your home network. This way we can give you specific tips to improve the internet speed of your home network. Don’t worry, your personal data will remain anonymous and secure.
And this is how it works:
The first measurement shows whether your booked bandwidth is achieved on your device. If not, we automatically initiate a second measurement stage. This shows where the bandwidth is lost.
This second measurement stage now tests the bandwidth between our server and your router.
After analysis, you can improve the strength and speed of your home network with our «Optimization tips» or you can take a look at your measurement overview under «Show details».
The result of your internet speed test depends on many factors. Not all of them are directly related to your bandwidth. These are, for example, your operating system settings, an anti-virus program, your browser, or your LAN connection. The speed test provides you with approximate values of your bandwidth at your computer. The bandwidth at your connection can vary greatly. For Vodafone cable customers, we developed a second measurement: It measures the speed from our servers to your router independently of your devices.
We recommend a network connection via Ethernet cable (LAN). For bandwidths up to 90 Mbit/s, use at least a Fast Ethernet connection. For bandwidths of 100 Mbit/s and more, you need a Gigabit Ethernet connection as well as a suitable computer, router, and cable.
With WLAN, the bandwidth depends primarily on the radio load in your environment, the frequency band used and the age of your WLAN device.
In addition, deviations of up to 50% can occur at peak times of internet use. Therefore, measure at least 3 times on different days at different times of the day.
Good to know: 1,000 kbit/s corresponds to 1 Mbit/s, i.e. 1 megabit per second.
You have measured your cable or DSL speed, but the result of the speed test does not correspond to your ordered bandwidth? Then measure at least 3 times on different days at different times of day.
- Step 1: Check wiring and connect the original cable
- Connect your computer during the measurement via a LAN cable with your Router or your EasyBox.
- Tip: Avoid using cables that are too long or not adequately shielded and connecting plugs for extension. They can have a strong influence on your Internet speed.
- Step 2: Restart device
- Restart your devices. Unplug them for at least 10 seconds and then plug them back in. Wait a few minutes until your devices have synchronized again.
- Step 3: Check the current network load on your computer
- To check the network load, you can use the task manager from Windows 7. To do this, press the key combination — and enter the command taskmgr in the execution window that opens. In Windows 7, you will find the tab “Network” in the task manager which shows you the load of all network connections graphically. In Windows 8 and 10 there is the tab «Performance» in the task manager, if you display the details there. You also get a display of the current load for every network connection — graphically and in text form. If you can already measure a high network load in idle mode, then your computer is running data transfers in the background, e.g. by update downloads from Windows or other programs. If you were to run a fiber-optic cable, LTE or DSL speed test in the browser, it would show you less bandwidth than is actually available at the connection. This is because the speed test cannot switch off the background downloads while it is measuring.
- Step 4: Do the speed test
- Close all internet applications, e.g. FTP and e-mail programs or downloads. Also log out of your company VPN if you are working from your home office. Then start the speed test and measure at least 3 times on different days at different times of the day.
- Step 5: Assess results
- After the measurements, compare the results with your booked bandwidth.
Receiving data on your computer from a server via the internet is called a download, just like the data itself.
The download speed is the speed at which you download files from the internet, e.g. updates for your computer or when you download programs or games to your computer.
The flow of data from a local computer or from another local storage medium to another computer is called upload. When data is sent over the internet to another computer, it is also called upstream.
The upload speed is the speed at which you upload files to the internet, for example when sending an e-mail with a file attachment. In contrast to the download, the speed and bandwidth for the upload are lower.
The packet delay is the timespan between a data packet being sent to the recipient and the response packet being sent back. The lower the packet delay, the better.
