How to run an internet speed test
Get ready
If you can, use an Ethernet cable to connect your device to the WiFi Hub for the most accurate speed test. If you’re running a WiFi speed test make sure your device has a direct connection, no VPN (Virtual Private Network).
Tap “Run test”
Got Virgin Media? You see your download speed in real-time, plus the chance to tap “Run full test” for a more in depth internet speed test. If you’re not with us yet, you get a quick overview of your speeds in a matter of seconds.
Repeat
Just tap “Test again” (or the redo icon) when you’re ready. Running a few tests – at different times of day, on different days, in other rooms, on other devices – will give you a much clearer picture of your broadband performance.
How does the internet speed test work?
I have Virgin Media
The test will measure the internet speed to your device and to the Hub, giving you a complete overview of your home network.

You can still discover how fast your device is going, but your results will be less detailed with no packet loss stat or speeds to your Hub.
What does the broadband speed test show?
This speed test measures download speed, upload speed, latency, jitter and – if you have our Virgin Media Hub – packet loss. If you ran a speed test and need help making sense of the results, let’s break it down for you.
How fast you can get things from the internet to your device.
Measured in Mbps – higher is better!
A result like 264Mbps means you can download up to 264 megabits of data per second.
Download speed is important for browsing websites, watching Netflix or trying to get something like a file, an app, game, song or movie onto your device.
How fast you can send things to the internet from your device.
Also measured in Mbps – higher is better!
Upload speed is important for sending emails with attachments, backing up files to the cloud, taking video calls, posting photos or videos to social media, working from home, even online gaming.
How fast information travels from your device to the internet and back.
Measured in ms – lower is better!
A result like 30ms means it takes 30 milliseconds (that’s 0.03 seconds) for the internet to respond to your actions.
Say you click a link on a website or hit play on a video – latency is how quickly you get a response. This test result is super important for anything you need to happen in real-time (like online gaming and video calls).
How much the latency bounces around.
Also measured in ms – lower is better!
A result below 1ms (millisecond) means you have a smooth, reliable connection.
Say your latency is sometimes 30ms, then 50ms, then 100ms, this change in timing is jitter. This test result is super important for voice and video calls, online gaming and smart security cameras. Low jitter means clear sound (not robotic) and smooth picture (no buffering).
How many chunks of data (called packets) never arrive.
Ideally 0% or as close to zero as possible – lower is better!
If you’re with another broadband provider, please try a different broadband speed test to check your packet loss. We can only complete this test on our own Hubs.
Packet loss, measuring how many chunks of data are going missing, reflects how reliable your internet connection is. A high result can cause you to experience delay, like freezing in an online game or glitchy video calls.
What is a good broadband speed?
This depends what you’re doing. Faster download speeds help you do more online at the same time.
Superfast (M125–M250)
For light use on up to 10 devices. Makes browsing, shopping and social media a doddle.
Ultrafast (M350–M500)
For standard use on 10+ devices. Great for online gaming and streaming all at once.
Gigabit speeds
For heavy use on all your devices. Keeps even the biggest, busiest households connected.

How can I improve my broadband speed?
If something’s up with the WiFi signal in your home, try these simple tricks to improve your speed.
Move the Hub
Place it out in the open, at least a metre from any electrical devices that interfere with WiFi signal (like your TV and wireless speakers).
Reboot the Hub
The old turn it off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it on again trick refreshes the connection to our network. The Hub will pick up the less busy WiFi channel for the best WiFi performance.
Give your gadgets a break
Having too many phones, TVs or smart devices connected at the same time could slow you down. Disconnect anything you’re not using before you speed test your internet .
Try a wired connection
Plug your laptop or smart TV straight into the Hub using an Ethernet cable for a faster-than-WiFi connection.
WiFi Pods to the rescue
If your Virgin Media broadband is protected by our WiFi guarantee and you’re not getting the speed promised, you can try to boost signal with up to three WiFi Pods, on us.
Internet speed test FAQs
Pretty accurate! If anything, this strict, Ofcom-approved speed test is more likely to underestimate your speed. Your results will be a good reflection of how fast your broadband was during our test. If your results vary when you repeat the test, don’t worry, it’s normal – many factors can affect your speed, from the time of day to how many other devices were using your broadband when you ran the test.
Use an Ethernet cable if possible – Removes WiFi issues.
Test near the Hub – Stronger WiFi signal.
Disconnect other devices or consoles from your WiFi – More bandwidth available for the test.
Close browser tabs, windows and apps – Have nothing running in the background.
Test multiple times a day for an average reading – Internet may be slower at peak times.
Use a reliable tool – Our speed test is accurate.
Computers, laptops, smart phones, tablets – our speed test works on all modern desktop and mobile browsers. The results will be the most accurate when you use an Ethernet cable to connect your device to the Hub, so you may want to start speed testing gadgets that have a port or those that can connect to an Ethernet adapter, like a MacBook.
Wired connection (most accurate) – Run the speed test right next to the Hub on a device that’s connected by Ethernet cable.
Speed test WiFi (most realistic) – Test wherever you normally use your device (living room, bedroom, home office) and your results will reflect your real experience. Try different rooms to get a full picture of your WiFi coverage.
A good download speed really depends on what you’re doing online and how many people or devices are using the connection at the same time.
100–200Mbps downloads – Good for small households. Light usage on up to 10 devices.
300–500Mps downloads – Good for medium to large households. Standard usage on 10+ devices.
Gigabit downloads (from 1,000Mbps) – Good for the biggest, busiest households and smart homes. Heavy usage on all your devices.
A good upload speed really depends on the size of your uploads and your household.
20–25Mbps – Good for small households. Attach files to emails, join video calls, make social media posts.
36–52Mbps – Good for online gaming, HD streaming and large file transfers. Supports several people at the same time.
Gigabit uploads – Our fastest speeds are excellent for heavy uploads, 4K live streaming, content creators and working from home on big files.
Totally normal! Most likely your broadband package was designed to be this way on purpose. Most of us rely more heavily on our download speed day to day, so it should be faster to cope with all our streaming, scrolling, browsing and gaming.
If your download or upload speeds are slower than you’d expect, here are some likely reasons why:
You ran a WiFi speed test – Try plugging your device directly into the Hub using an Ethernet cable and test again.
Too many devices online at the same time – Pause or disconnect your other devices while you test internet speed and try again.
Background apps or software – Close unused apps before testing. Cloud backups, Windows update or streaming apps can use up connection without you realising.
WiFi setup may need attention – Check the Hub is placed in the best position and give it a reboot if it’s been a while since last time.
You’re using a VPN to work from home – Can be slower during peak office hours.
You ran a speed test at peak times (8–10pm) – Try again early in the morning or late at night for comparison.
Possible reasons why your results are high:
Latency – You may live far from the test server, or your WiFi is crowded with too many devices, or your provider could be experiencing congestion. See how to improve latency.
Jitter – Could be an issue with inconsistent WiFi signal, especially if you’re far from the Hub. Network congestion (loads of people or devices online at the same time) can also cause high jitter.
Packet loss – Perhaps a weak WiFi signal issue or interference from other electronics (microwaves, cordless phones). If your home network isn’t congested with too many devices online at the same time, perhaps the Hub or your provider are having issues.
Totally normal! The Hub speed isn’t affected by obstacles or interference within your home, so it’s usually faster than your device speed.
Walls and furniture – Obstacles can reduce WiFi signal strength to your devices. The Hub is unaffected.
Distance from Hub – Your device could be far away, whereas broadband coming into your home goes straight to the Hub.
Bluetooth and microwaves – Interference can affect your WiFi speeds but not the Hub.
Maximum download speeds – Older devices may be capped at a lower speed (slower WiFi chips).
Your other devices – Sharing bandwidth can affect your device’s speed test, especially if someone is streaming, downloading or gaming.
