Test Your Quality Broadband Internet Connection Using Pingtest

In my previous article I wrote about speed of internet connection using Speed Test, for now from the same company ( Ookla ) they provide Pingtest.net to determine the quality of your broadband Internet

You can go to www.pingtest.net and click “Begin Test” to use this tool, after that you will get the result about your Line Quality, Ping and Jittler




here’s how Pingtest has named and explained the categories:
Link Quality
• Category A: “An excellent result! Expect all Internet applications to work very well assuming you have sufficient bandwidth.”
• Category B: “Very good! Your connection should work well for any Internet application. Some online games may not perform optimally.”
• Category C: “Acceptable. Your VoIP quality will suffer some, and you will have a disadvantage in many online games. Most streaming media will be fine. You should try testing again to another server close to you.”
• Category D: “Concerning. Most online applications will not perform well but should function in some capacity. Try testing to other servers to verify the result. You might need to contact your ISP for help.”
• Category F: “Very poor. Real-time Internet application performance will suffer greatly on such a connection. Test to other servers to confirm the result, but definitely talk to your ISP about troubleshooting the issue.”

Ping
This measurement tells how long it takes a "packet" of data to travel from your computer to a server on the Internet and back. Whenever you experience delayed responses in Internet applications - this would be due to a higher than desired ping. Similar to packet loss, lower is better when it comes to ping. A result below 100 ms should be expected from any decent broadband connection.

Jitter
Once you understand ping, jitter should also make sense. Jitter is merely the variance in measuring successive ping tests. Zero jitter means the results were exactly the same every time, and anything above zero is the amount by which they varied. Like the other quality measurements, a lower jitter value is better. And while some jitter should be expected over the Internet, having it be a small fraction of the ping result is ideal.
