Internet Speed Test: Check Download, Upload & Ping

One-click test of your real download speed, upload speed and latency. Powered by M-Lab NDT7 — the same open measurement used by Google's built-in speed test.

What this speed test measures

This tool measures three numbers: download speed (how fast your phone or router pulls data from the internet), upload speed (how fast it sends data out) and ping (the round-trip delay to the nearest M-Lab server in milliseconds). All three together describe the real quality of your Airtel, Jio, Vi or BSNL connection at this exact moment.

Airtel speed test

Airtel runs both 4G LTE and 5G Plus on 3500 MHz mid-band and 900 MHz low-band. A healthy Airtel 5G connection in a metro typically measures 250–700 Mbps download, 20–60 Mbps upload and 15–35 ms ping. On 4G LTE expect 15–60 Mbps download. See all Airtel plans.

Jio speed test

Jio operates standalone 5G on 700 MHz and 3500 MHz. Jio True 5G tests commonly report 300–900 Mbps download, 25–80 Mbps upload and 12–30 ms ping in covered circles. Jio 4G returns 10–40 Mbps. Speeds drop sharply after the FUP — see Jio plans.

Vi (Vodafone Idea) speed test

Vi runs 4G LTE across all 22 circles with 5G rolling out gradually in metros. A typical Vi 4G test returns 8–35 Mbps download and 2–8 Mbps upload, with 25–60 ms ping. Where Vi 5G is live, early measurements show 150–400 Mbps. See Vi plans.

BSNL speed test

BSNL completed its 4G rollout on indigenous equipment in 2025 and is preparing 5G in select cities. A working BSNL 4G connection currently measures 5–25 Mbps download, 1–6 Mbps upload and 35–80 ms ping. See BSNL plans.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good internet speed in Mbps?+

For one user, 25 Mbps download is enough for HD streaming and video calls. A household of four streaming 4K and gaming needs 100 Mbps or more. Upload of 10 Mbps comfortably supports HD video calls and cloud uploads.

How accurate is this speed test compared to Ookla?+

This test uses M-Lab's NDT7, an open-source measurement system used by Google Search's built-in speed test. NDT7 measures end-to-end TCP throughput to an M-Lab server, so results are directionally accurate but may differ from Ookla, which selects the geographically closest server and often shows higher numbers.

How much mobile data does the speed test use?+

A single full NDT7 run downloads and uploads roughly 50 to 200 MB depending on your connection speed. Avoid running it on a metered cellular plan with little data left.

Why is my speed lower than my plan advertises?+

Plan speeds are theoretical peak speeds. Real-world speed depends on Wi-Fi signal, device hardware, server distance, network congestion and your operator's FUP. Test over a wired connection close to the router for the most realistic number.

Is my test data private?+

M-Lab publishes all test results as anonymised open data for research. The dataset includes your IP address, the measurement and timestamp, but no personal identifiers.
