How to measure the speed of your broadband

SIST OPPDATERT september 21, 2023

Are you ready to find out if you get what you pay for? With our speedometer you can measure how fast downloading and uploading is on your broadband .

Get ready and check your broadband speed.

How to use the speed test

  1. Make sure that your PC is connected to the best form of network, ie wired and preferably not wireless, in this way we really find out how fast the download is. You get realistic numbers with WiFi connection as well, but the cable will give you better results.
  2. In order to get the best results on the speed test, it is wise to go out of programs that use a lot of internet and turn off other devices that use a lot of internet.
  3.  When all this is done, you can press the red button that is at the top of the page that looks like a «play» button. The test takes a few seconds and you get information such as «Ping» – «Download» – «Upload» and «Jitter»

How does the Speed ​​Test work?

The Internet speed test measures the capacity of your browser and your broadband connection. In this way, the speedometer can measure how much your download and upload cost.

How to get accurate results from the Speed ​​Test

Here are some tips to help you get even better results when taking a speed test on your broadband:

  • Make sure that others do not drive and download large files or movies while performing the test. If someone downloads large files during the speed test, it may affect your results.
  • If you are on a shared broadband with, for example , a public transport, it can pay off and do the test when everyone has gone to bed or is not using the broadband. This way, you get even more accurate results when you complete a broadband speed test.
  • Are the equipment such as modems and cables old? Sometimes you can get better results on the speed test if you have newer and renewed broadband equipment
  • Do not use VPN or VPS when taking the speed test for your internet, this can significantly affect the result. Here you just have to disconnect from VPN or VPS and take the test from your own dynamic IP address.
  • Make sure you use a cable when taking the test, this will give you better results and more accurate numbers.

How do I get results from the Speed ​​Test?

The speed test you take at Fornye.no gives you the following results:

  • Download speed: This is the speed your broadband uses at and downloads files from the server it is connected to (Eg Telenor or Telia, ie how long it takes before the data packets are sent from your browser to Telenor or Telia’s server)
  • Upload: This is the speed your broadband uses at and connects to the broadband provider, usually you will find that the upload speed is much lower than the download speed on ADSL / VDSL, but on fiber it tends to be exactly the same.
  • Ping is a simple command used to measure the latency or delay between two different devices on your network. If you have fast and stable broadband you will have lower ping.
  • The longer the data packets take to arrive at your PC, the higher the «Jitter» you have.
