How to use Google Fiber’s speed test 

Click “Go” to begin the speed test. The test will measure how long it takes to establish a connection with the server as well as your upload and download speed. 

How the Google Fiber speed test works

An internet speed test shows the internet connection speed you get from your internet service provider. Our Spectrum Internet speed test finds your stable internet speed rather than the fastest speed. This gives you the most accurate picture of what speeds you’re getting.

How do my speeds compare?

Compare your results against Google Fiber’s average internet speeds calculated from thousands of our Google Fiber speed test results. Google Fiber’s average download speed from 2023 – 2024 was 244 Mbps, and its average upload speed was 220 Mbps. Its average latency was 14 ms.

Compared to the U.S. average, Google Fiber is much faster – and is one of the fastest providers available in general.

How do Google Fiber’s average speeds compare to competitors?

See how Google Fiber’s average speeds compare to other top ISPs like AT&T, Xfinity and Verizon. Google Fiber is one of the fastest ISPs available, with its download speed only falling slightly behind Cox. Google Fiber’s upload speed is by far the fastest of all major ISPs.

How much speed do I need?

The internet speed you need depends on how many devices you have connected at once and your internet activities. We outlined some recommendations below to give you an idea of how much speed you’ll need for your internet use. 

Tips for getting good Google Fiber speed test results 

If you want the most accurate results from your speed test, here are some steps you can follow before you start. While these tips aren’t necessary to take the test, they can help ensure accuracy. 

• Disconnect other devices in your network that are connected to the internet. If you have multiple devices connected to the internet at once, they could take up significant bandwidth and impact your speed test results. 
• Close apps or web pages on your device that could be using up bandwidth. 
• Connect your device directly to your modem with an Ethernet cable. This will give you the fastest speeds possible from your internet plan and allow you to determine if your speeds are close to what Google Fiber advertises. 

How to fix slow internet

Here are a few things you try to improve your internet connection:

• Restart your equipment – Usually, the first thing you should try when you’re experiencing internet issues is to reboot your equipment. Unplug both your modem and router for 10 – 20 seconds then plug them back in.
• Optimize your router settings – Routers have different settings you can test out depending on your internet activities. Some routers have entertainment settings that prioritize bandwidth while you game or stream. You can also play with your Request to Send (RTS) thresholds to improve your Wi-Fi.
• Upgrade your equipment – Upgrading outdated equipment can improve your internet connection. If your equipment is out of date and cannot support your current Wi-Fi speed, your connection will be slower than what you are paying for.
• Reconfigure router antennas – If your router has external antennas, try moving them around at different angles to improve your Wi-Fi signal.
• Add a Wi-Fi extender to your network – Purchasing a Wi-Fi extender to add to your home network can help extend your Wi-Fi coverage to hard to reach areas of your home.
