    The most accurate way to test your internet speed is to connect your PC directly to Fizz modem, and use Videotron Internet speed test.

    you're using a router or VPN you'll see some speed drop.

    WIFI test are not very reliable in my experience.

    Hi Lelapain


    This answer is from Dapfizzer


    This is how perform some speed tests using the Fizz Wi-Fi app. This app is available for free on Google Play Store & Apple Store.


     

    Do multiple tests with different devices and at multiple locations around your home.

    Compare the results obtained at the downstream (Download) and upstream (Download) speeds of your Fizz Home Internet plan.

    If possible, also a speed test with a device plugged in using a network cable (RJ45) directly into the Wi-Fi modem.



    You can also perform a speed test using any website or app of your choice.

     Make sure you choose a speed test that uses a local server.

    Some sites only offer test servers located overseas. It could skew your results.
