Guide to Checking Your Connection Speed

At Netcom Wifi Network, we understand the importance of a fast and reliable internet connection. To ensure that you’re getting the speeds you’re paying for, we encourage our customers to regularly perform speed tests. A speed test measures the rate at which data is transmitted over your internet connection, helping you determine if your internet service is performing as expected.

Why Should You Perform a Speed Test?

  1. Verify Your Service: A speed test helps you confirm that you are receiving the internet speed you subscribed to with Netcom Wifi Network.
  2. Troubleshoot Issues: If you experience slow internet speeds or performance issues, a speed test can pinpoint potential problems, allowing you to address them effectively.
  3. Optimize Your Connection: Understanding your actual internet speed can help you make informed decisions about your online activities and the devices connected to your network.
