Gaming internet test
Lag isn't about download speed. It's ping, jitter, packet loss and what happens to your ping when someone else in the house starts a download. This test grades all of it.

Questions about this test
What internet speed do I need for gaming?
Most online games use under 1 Mbps. What you need is low ping (under 50 ms), low jitter (under 15 ms), zero packet loss and a bufferbloat grade of B or better. Download speed only matters for installing games.
Why do I lag when my speed test is fast?
Bufferbloat: your ping spikes under load. Enable SQM or QoS on your router and put your console on Ethernet.
Is 5G home internet okay for gaming?
Playable, but ping and jitter are higher and less stable than cable or fibre. Competitive players should prefer wired broadband.
