With the internet now being demanded more than ever, ISPs are actively noticing erratic consumption of the internet. From online streaming to downloading and sharing huge file sizes online, the average data usage per month is over 300 GB per home in the US.
This has compelled ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to throttle your internet connection in an effort to conserve bandwidth consumption or charge their users a premium for using the internet the way they choose.
What is an Internet Health Test?
Since Internet Service Providers (ISPs) downsize the performance of their customer’s online traffic, the point where this degradation takes place is known as ISP interconnection points.
An internet health test measures whether interconnection points are experiencing any problems. It runs speed measurements from your (the test user’s) ISP, across multiple interconnection points, thus detecting degraded performance.
To find out your internet health and whether you’re subject to ISP throttling, take the Internet Health Test. Once you begin the internet health test, it’ll take a while to complete the test and display the results.
