How to test your internet speed

There are loads of online tools that let you test your internet speed.

But arguably the most popular is Speedtest.net by Ookla (a US data firm), which you can find here.

You can also download the app here:

It tests your speeds in a number of ways using local servers, giving you a fairly accurate representation of your real-world download speeds.

Remember that if you’re testing on mobile, make sure you’re connected to WiFi to test the broadband speed. Otherwise, you’ll be checking your mobile speeds instead.

So are you getting the right speeds?

Check with your internet provider, log into your broadband account or take a look at your bill to find details of your package.

A simple search should tell you what speed you’re getting.

Problems still continuing

Three users are still experiencing issues with the network.

Yesterday’s outage problems appeared to have been cleared up overnight but hundreds are still left without a service.

According to Downdetector, more than 600 people are having problems getting onto the network this morning, Saturday.

Factors that can affect internet signal: Issues with your device

The signal may be impacted by your SIM card, phone settings, low battery, and outdated software, per ThreeUK.

It will also be unable to utilize the network if your account is on hold.
