How we measure: a real-world test to a neutral point on the open internet, not a server inside your provider network, so it reflects everyday speed and can read slightly below best-case on-network tests.

We record anonymized results (speed, latency, your provider and coarse location) to publish honest, real-world speed data by provider. No personal information is stored.

Customers measureNot enough tests yetWe publish what BTES customers measure once enough of them have run our test.

BTES’s fastest available plans reach 1,000 Mbps down / 1,000 Mbps up, and across its footprint typical available speeds are about 1,000 Mbps down / 1,000 Mbps up. These are advertised “up to” figures from FCC availability data, so no connection reaches them exactly. Run the test above to see what your own BTES line actually delivers.

BTES Speed Test FAQ

Why is my BTES speed lower than advertised?

Advertised speeds are “up to” peaks measured on an ideal connection. Real-world speed to a neutral point on the open internet runs a few percent lower, and Wi-Fi, older equipment, or peak-hour congestion lower it further. For the truest read of your BTES line, test over a wired connection.

How does ISPReports measure BTES speeds?

Tests run against the nearest of Cloudflare’s edge locations, so the result reflects your access network rather than a server inside BTES’s own network. We verify each result by network operator, aggregate it as a median (not an average, which a few fast tests would skew), and only publish a provider’s measured speeds once enough independent tests exist. We do not accept provider-submitted numbers.

Is BTES good for gaming and video calls?

Run the test above. The connection-quality grade reads latency under load and packet loss, which determine whether calls and games stay smooth, beyond the raw download number.

Can I get faster internet than BTES where I live?

After the test, the result lists the providers in your ZIP code that advertise faster plans than the speed you measured. For the providers at your exact address, check your address on our internet providers by address page.
