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.

Connect 2 First Speed Test FAQ

Why is my Connect 2 First 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 Connect 2 First line, test over a wired connection.

How does ISPReports measure Connect 2 First speeds?

Tests run against the nearest of Cloudflare’s edge locations, so the result reflects your access network rather than a server inside Connect 2 First’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 Connect 2 First 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.
