VoIP Speed Test - Broadband Bandwidth Test - Broadband Jitter Test

Use our free VoIP Speed Test and Broadband Bandwidth analysis now to check your internet speed. Test your broadband internet connection for the key components required for VoIP. Voice quality depends on four main factors: Bandwidth, Delay, Packet loss and Jitter (described below). These factors are tested and summarized at the end of the test. Select the "Click to start MySpeed" button below to start the VoIP Speed Test. If you are experiencing problems with this Broadband VoIP speed test please download latest version of Java. This tool is useful even if you are not testing for VoIP, and are simply looking for a DSL speed test or download speed test.

Bandwidth - Measured as the number of bits transferred per second. VoIP requires anywhere from 24kbps to 90kbps. Bandwidth is rarely an issue for Cable/DSL/Fiber.

 

Delay- Measured in milliseconds (ms). The longer the delay the more difficult a conversation becomes. The ITU recommend that one way delay should not exceed 400ms for acceptable speech quality (<100ms is good).

 

Packet Loss - Measured as a percentage. Your voice is transmitted digitally over the internet in segments, referred to as "packets". A packet loss of up to 5% will go largely unnoticed. Above that reduces call quality.

 

Jitter - Jitter when applied to VoIP is a variation in packet transit delay (from queuing, contention and serialization effects on the path through the network). Faster, higher bandwidth networks tend to have less jitter. A QoS device like an ATA can help eliminate some of this jitter.
