Upload speed test
Upload is the number providers don't advertise and the one that decides whether your video looks sharp on calls and how long backups take. This test measures it properly, with several parallel streams.

Questions about this test
What upload speed do I need?
Video calls: 3–5 Mbps per call for HD. Streaming to Twitch/YouTube: 6–10 Mbps for 1080p. Cloud backups and photo libraries: the more the better — 20 Mbps uploads 5 GB in about 35 minutes; 200 Mbps does it in under 4.
Why is my upload so much lower than download?
Cable and many 5G home services are asymmetric by design. Fibre plans are symmetrical. If upload matters to you, that's the main reason to switch to fibre.
Why does upload read low on Wi‑Fi?
Phones and laptops transmit with less power than the router, so uplink is often the weaker direction over Wi‑Fi. Test wired for the true number.
