Keep in mind that information sent and received by mobile devices during testing counts as data used by cellular plans. The speed tests may be available as mobile apps or web versions. Here are our top picks for testing your mobile and in-home network speeds. The speed can vary depending on the time of day or where you are in your home if you’re relying on cellular internet connection or WiFi. A speed test only calculates your internet speed at a given time. Upload and download speeds are measured in Mbps, or megabits per second.

Use this measurement to see how quickly information sent from your device reaches the internet. This is important when making video calls, sending documents, or backing up files to the cloud.
