How Much Internet Speed Do YOU Need?
Actual bandwidth needs may be higher depending upon number of users and whether you are using shared or dedicated Internet access. Even if you have more bandwidth, your business performance may suffer if the broadband connection quality is not adequate. You’ll need a latency test (ping test) and a jitter test to determine overall quality. Our test does it all and more.

Broadband Quality News & Articles
The Rise of Cloud Communications
The ability to quickly pivot to a remote workforce has become more important than ever, and it starts with reliable broadband running Voice over IP (VoIP). Integrated voice and data service makes it possible to scale communications fast across laptops, tablets and smartphones, upgrade without a hassle, and lower operational costs. Learn more about the rise of Cloud Communications and its benefits for your business.
Not All Broadband Is The Same
Broadband speed and quality varies. Businesses should evaluate their needs carefully, looking at employee usage habits and applications riding on the circuit. Compare broadband options.
SD-WAN: Stop Internet Downtime
SD-WAN provides a clean, reliable way to access your Cloud services. Voice and real-time application failover, load balancing, dynamic path selection, and forward error correction ensure that your business enjoys the highest level of application performance. Find out more about SD-WAN.

Understanding Your Broadband Quality Results
Fusion’s Speed Test Plus measures more than download and upload speed.
Important Terms Used In Our Test
Download Speed
The speed at which your Internet connection transmits data to your computer. This is the largest amount of data you can receive in a specified amount of time. Download speed is measured in Megabits per second (Mbps).
Upload Speed
The opposite of download speed, this measures the largest amount of information that you can send from your computer using your access provider's connection. This is also measured in Mbps.
Latency (Ping)
A latency test (sometimes known as a ping test) is how long it takes a packet of data to complete a round trip between two points. High latency will be noticed on voice calls through delays in conversation and periods of silence. In addition, web pages may load more slowly.
Jitter
To measure the variation over time of latency across the network, you need a jitter test. High jitter values may cause voice packets to be delivered out of order, which can result in echo or talk-over effects.
For business users, you should have enough downstream capacity to accommodate office needs. VoIP calls, video streaming, web browsers, and email transfers all require downstream throughput. Upload speed is critical for making VoIP calls, sending large files, and hosting websites.

How Does Speed Test Plus Work?
Fusion’s Speed Test Plus checks broadband speed and is also an internet quality test. Most Internet speed tests start and end with download and upload speeds. We give you more, leveraging decades of experience to formulate new performance quality benchmarks - latency and jitter - that directly affect the day-to-day realities of today's businesses.
Why Should I Test My Internet Speed and Quality?
Internet speed is only part of the story. While conventional speed tests measure throughput, you should also test the Internet quality of your connection. Some providers may use old copper connections while others deliver your service using state-of-the-art fiber connectivity. These, along with other factors, could impact latency, jitter and packet loss. And, these affect your bandwidth quality. Depending on whether you are using your connection for VoIP, video conferencing or mission-critical applications, you may need a higher quality service. Our Internet quality test does this for you and helps highlight potential risks to your business.
