Network Providers

How connections on each network provider behaved in tests run on this site — the distribution of ping, jitter and packet loss, per measurement server. These are not provider rankings. People come to a packet loss test because something is wrong, so this sample is systematically worse than any provider's real customer base. The list is ordered by how many tests there are, not by how bad they look.

Provider Tests Tests that saw loss Above 1 % loss Median jitter
Cloudflare, Inc. 601 74.88 % 62.06 % 7 ms
Deutsche Telekom AG 540 60.0 % 32.22 % 8 ms
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC 535 70.65 % 32.71 % 6 ms

No ping column here on purpose: a single ping figure per provider would mostly measure how far its customers live from our nearest measurement server. Ping is on each provider's own page, broken down per server, where it means something.

How to read this page

This is a distribution of measurements taken on this site, not an assessment of a provider. Everyone whose test is counted here came to a packet loss test — most of them because something was already wrong. That makes this sample systematically worse than the provider's real customer base, and no figure on this page should be read as "provider X is bad". The honest form of every number here is "of the tests run on PingPacketTest.com for this provider".

  • Nobody's IP address is stored. The provider name and ASN come from a lookup done once, at the moment of the test, and the address itself is discarded — see the privacy policy.
  • Ping is only shown per measurement server. A single figure averaged across measurement servers on three continents would mostly say how far away the visitor was, not what their line does.
  • Medians and 90th percentiles, never averages. One half-hour test on a broken line would otherwise move the whole page.
  • A provider needs at least 500 stored tests to appear here at all. Below that there is no page — not a thin one, not a placeholder. Two unlucky measurements should never be able to move a published figure.
  • Window: the last 365 days. Only finished tests of at least 10 seconds with a real measurement in them.

What is missing from this list

Every provider under the threshold, which is most of them. 31,912 of the 100,251 tests in the current window carry a provider name at all (31.83 %) — the rest were stored before this site started recording it. As that share grows, more providers cross the line and appear here on their own.

The same measurements grouped by country and by measurement server are on the packet loss statistics page, which names no provider at all.
