Check Your Internet Speed

Curious about how fast your internet really is? Use a trusted speed test tool to accurately measure your current download and upload speeds. Running a speed test is quick and easy.

Understanding Your Results

Your internet speed test will show key metrics:

  • Download Speed (Mbps): Measures how fast you receive data (e.g. streaming, browsing). Higher is better.
  • Upload Speed (Mbps): Indicates how quickly you can send data (e.g. video calls, file uploads). Higher is better.
  • Latency / Ping (ms): Reflects the delay in your connection—lower ping is essential for gaming and video calls.
  • Jitter (ms): Shows variation in latency. Lower jitter equals a more stable connection.

Not sure how to interpret the results from your internet speed test—be it a standard test, NBN speed check or Wi-Fi test? Don’t stress. Geek Sydney is here to help you understand what those numbers mean and whether you’re getting the service you’re paying for.

Common Internet Issues & Simple Fixes

Dealing with slow speeds, weak Wi-Fi, or dropouts? Try these basic troubleshooting steps after checking your speed:

  • Restart Your Modem & Router: Power them off for 60 seconds, then restart the modem first, followed by the router. This often resolves temporary glitches.
  • Reposition Your Router: Place your wireless modem/router in a central, open area—away from walls, metal objects, or interference sources.
  • Limit Device Usage: Too many devices sharing the same bandwidth can slow down your connection.
  • Compare Wired & Wireless: Run a speed test using both Wi-Fi and a direct Ethernet connection. This helps determine if Wi-Fi is the issue.

Still experiencing problems after these steps and your speed test shows poor results? It may be time to call in the experts.

NBN Speeds & Choosing the Right Plan

Most Australians are connected to the internet via the NBN. Choosing the right speed tier (e.g. NBN 50 or NBN 100) is crucial, as is understanding your connection type (FTTP, FTTN, HFC, etc.).

At Geek Sydney, we help you:

  • Identify your NBN connection type.
  • Select the most suitable NBN plan for your household or business.
  • Troubleshoot slow speeds and interpret your NBN speed test results.

Optimise Your Network Hardware

Your modem, router, and Wi-Fi setup play a big role in overall speed and stability.

  • Routers: A modern router (e.g. Wi-Fi 6) can significantly improve performance.
  • Modems: Ensure you have a quality modem compatible with your NBN connection.
  • Mesh Wi-Fi Systems: Great for large homes, providing strong coverage throughout and eliminating dead spots.
  • Wi-Fi Extenders: Can help reach distant rooms, though they may reduce overall speed.

Need help setting up or upgrading your wireless modem, router, or mesh system? Geek Sydney can ensure your network is performing at its best.
