Internet diagnostic tool

Remote work internet test

Check whether your home internet is ready for real work: video calls, Teams and Zoom, VPN, cloud apps, file uploads, and remote desktop. The result explains what may fail and how to fix it.

Ready to test

Test if your internet is actually good enough

Run a quick browser-based diagnostic for calls, gaming, streaming, VPN, and remote work. Verdicts appear before raw technical numbers.

MVP note: latency, jitter, packet loss, and speed are browser-based estimates. Fetch failures/timeouts approximate packet loss and may be affected by blockers, CORS, or third-party test endpoints.

Remote work internet test: what the results mean

Check whether your home internet is ready for real work: video calls, Teams and Zoom, VPN, cloud apps, file uploads, and remote desktop. The result explains what may fail and how to fix it.

Remote work readiness signals

  • Good upload for video, screen share, and file sync.
  • Low latency for VPN and remote desktop.
  • Low jitter for call stability.
  • Minimal packet loss for cloud apps and conferencing.

Practical fixes before a workday

  • Run the test before important meetings.
  • Use Ethernet for critical calls.
  • Pause cloud backup during video meetings.
  • Compare WiFi against Ethernet to isolate router issues.

Frequently asked questions

What internet speed is good for remote work?

For most remote work, aim for 25 Mbps download, 5 Mbps upload, low latency, low jitter, and packet loss near 0%.

Why is my VPN slow when everything else works?

VPNs are sensitive to routing, latency, upload speed, and packet loss. A connection can browse fine but still feel slow over VPN.

What matters most for work calls?

Upload speed, jitter, and packet loss matter more than peak download speed for video calls and screen sharing.

Need better VPN performance?

Compare VPN providers or test your current VPN on versus off before switching.

Router / mesh WiFiInternal guide

WiFi causing packet loss?

If Ethernet is better than WiFi, a stronger router or mesh setup may help.

Broadband dealsInternal guide

Speed still too low?

If multiple tests show weak speeds, compare broadband options or upgrade your plan.
