Understanding Your Internet Health
Ping (Response Time)
- Good: < 30ms
- Fair: 30ms - 60ms
- Bad: > 100ms
High ping is usually caused by distance or a saturated connection (bufferbloat).
Jitter (Stability)
- Good: < 5ms
- Fair: 5ms - 30ms
- Bad: > 30ms
High jitter creates an unstable connection. Packets arrive at inconsistent times, causing "stutter" in games and calls.
Packet Loss
- Good: 0.0%
- Bad: Anything above 0%
Any packet loss signals a physical problem. It could be a faulty cable, failing hardware, or network congestion. It's the main cause of connection drops.
How to Fix Common Problems
Problem: High Jitter
This is usually from wireless interference.
- Test again using an ethernet cable.
- If the jitter is gone on the wired test, your WiFi is the issue.
Problem: Ping Spikes (Line turns red)
This is network congestion at your home.
- Pause any large downloads or cloud backups.
- Check if others are downlaoding or streaming heavily on your network. Your router may be overwhelmed.
Problem: Packet Loss (Red Lines)
This is most of the time a hardware or ISP issue.
- Check your ethernet cables.
- Connect directly to your modem to test your router.
- If the problem continues, show this report to your Internet Service Provider.
