How this measurement works
MyNetSpeed reports measurements that were actually observed by the browser or application server. It does not replace an ISP diagnostic or claim that browser HTTP requests are ICMP packets. Run several samples and compare Wi-Fi with Ethernet before drawing conclusions.
Frequently asked questions
What does packet loss mean here?
It is the percentage of browser HTTP samples that failed within this test, not a raw network-layer measurement.
Can Wi-Fi cause failed requests?
Yes. Interference, weak signal, congestion and roaming can contribute to failed or delayed browser requests.
