Measuring the download/upload speed or latency is not sufficient to understand the internet needs of your home or office applications. Stable internet without bandwidth fluctuation will satisfy most types of application needs. Like, 20Mbps reliable speed will be better than 100Mbps fluctuating connection speeds. myspeed.ai uses AI technology to detect the varying internet speed at the server side. Using the data at the server side, it can measure the stability of the internet & provide it as a signal quality in percentage. Here is the table showing the various application & the needed signal quality
| Application | Signal Quality needed |
|---|---|
| Real time Gameplay | greater than 90% |
| Audio/video conferencing | greater than 80% |
| Watching streaming content | greater than 70% |
| Casual browsing & text chat | greater than 50% |
Note: If signal quality is less than 40%, it can be intermittent issue. Retry the speed test.
Yes. Signal quality will directly reflect the Wi-Fi quality. Meaning if you are nearer to the Wi-Fi router it will be higher & gets lower as you move away from it. You can use the value to decide the PC/laptop placement in your room or outdoors. Same applies to your mobile device.
Realistically on a stable internet connection, the signal quality of wired connection should be 100%. If the wired connection bandwidth is fluctuating, then it would have lower values.
No. Sometimes, Wi-Fi or mobile device may have higher signal strength but unstable internet connection. Whereas the quality directly relates to the amount of data that can be sent/received over the internet at constant speed. So higher value indicates reliable connection.
