Understanding your Frontier speed test

When you investigate your slow internet speed using the Frontier speed test, you’ll get a report at the end with four metrics. These measurements can help you put your internet speeds in context, recognize when there’s cause for concern, and decide what to do about it.

Download speed (Mbps)

The download rate in your Frontier speed test represents how many megabits of data your home network can accept from the internet in one second. The more Mbps, the more devices you can support and the more bandwidth you have for activities such as 4K streaming and gaming.

Cause for concern: If your download speed is far lower than the plan you chose.
