Test History

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Testing International Speed

—

Why Test from Amsterdam?

Most speed tests use nearby servers and show idealized local speeds. We test from Amsterdam, Netherlands to show your real-world international internet speed - what you actually experience when streaming European content, gaming on international servers, or accessing global websites.

European Server Connection

Our server is hosted in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Your internet packets travel from your location to Europe and back, measuring real international connectivity rather than idealized local speeds.

Real-World Performance

Most speed tests use nearby servers, showing optimal but unrealistic speeds. We measure actual performance when accessing international content, like streaming Netflix, browsing European sites, or video conferencing abroad.

Why Distance Matters

Internet data doesn't travel instantly. Signals pass through multiple network hops, undersea cables, and continental routing. The further you are from Europe, the higher your latency and the more network congestion affects your speed.

International Streaming

When streaming content hosted internationally (like European sports, BBC iPlayer, or global CDNs), your speed to distant servers matters more than local network speed. This test shows if you can handle 4K streaming from Europe.

Understanding Metrics

Download: How fast you receive data. Upload: How fast you send data. Ping: Response delay (lower = better). Jitter: Connection consistency (lower = better, critical for video calls).

Network Latency Explained

Latency (ping) is the time it takes for a signal to travel to the server and back. Physics limits speed - light travels 300,000 km/s, but internet signals travel slower through fiber cables. Distance creates unavoidable delay.

What Affects Your Speed?

Multiple factors impact results: ISP routing quality, undersea cable capacity, time of day congestion, network equipment, WiFi vs wired connection, and background internet usage on your network.

Comparing with Other Tests

If other speed tests show higher speeds, they're likely using local servers. Both results are valid - they test different scenarios. Our test shows international performance, theirs shows local network capacity.

Results may vary based on network conditions, time of day, and server load. For most accurate results, close other applications using internet.
