Testing Your Upload Speed...

40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) are groups of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at rates of 40 and 100 gigabits per second (Gbit/s), respectively. These technologies offer significantly higher speeds than 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Internet speed tests, like this one or the test found at SpeedTest.net, measure the latter, or the speed reaching the device running the test. These test results are often lower than your plan speed due to various factors outside your Internet provider's control, including WiFi conditions and device capabilities. TestMy.net isn't the average download speed test. TestMy.net gets smarter the more you use it and makes adjustments specific to your computer for a high level of accuracy.

Frontier internet

Frontier offers a wide range of internet speeds from 6 Mbps all the way up to gigabit speeds of 1,000 Mbps.

Gigabit speeds provide a ridiculous amount of bandwidth to support pretty much anything you (or your whole family) can think to do on the internet. But they’re available only in limited areas that have access to Frontier’s fiber services.

Everywhere else has to settle for digital subscriber line (DSL) internet speeds, which top out at 115 Mbps for Frontier.

Frontier’s DSL internet is more widely available than its fiber internet. And the DSL service has more customers, which pulls Frontier’s average internet speeds down from its gigabit heights. That’s normal. The average speed test result isn’t necessarily what you can expect from your Frontier internet package. The Frontier internet speed you should expect depends on your internet package.

Remember that these are average speeds and won’t necessarily reflect your experience with Frontier internet, even if you live in one of the cities listed. Your actual speeds will depend on your internet package.

Frontier has two types of internet: DSL and fiber. DSL internet usually taps out at 100 Mbps max, while fiber internet can reach ten times those speeds. With that in mind, it makes sense that Frontier’s fastest cities would have at least some fiber service, even if it’s not gigabit fiber internet.

Of course, cities with Frontier’s fastest download speeds are at an advantage because its gigabit service is just so much faster than the other available Frontier speeds. It’s twice as fast as the next fastest internet plan.

About our Frontier internet speed test

The Frontier speed test gauges your fiber or DSL internet speed by measuring three things:

Download speed—how long it takes for data to get from the server to your computer
Upload speed—how long it takes info to get from your computer to the server
Latency—how long it takes a ping to go round trip from your computer to the server and back

To measure your download speed, the Frontier speed test sends a small dummy file to your computer and times how long it takes to download, converting that time into your speed.

The dummy file is completely harmless, but security software might flag it as an unrecognized file type. That messes with your results, so you’ll want to turn it off to get an accurate speed test. Just remember to turn it back on again when you’re done.

Our speed test also uses the dummy file to assess your upload speed by sending the file from your computer to the internet server and timing how long it takes to complete.

Similarly, the speed test measures latency by sending a piece of information (called a ping) from your network to the internet server and back and timing how long it takes round trip.

Download speed

Upload speed, download speed, and latency are all important for an uninterrupted browsing sesh, but when you sign up for an internet plan, you usually choose one based on the download speed. That’s because people download a lot more information from the internet than they send to the internet. Streaming Big Little Lies, downloading a video game file, and scrolling through your Facebook feed all primarily use download speed.

Upload speed

If your upload speed is a lot slower than your download speed, don’t panic. Most internet plans give you much less upload bandwidth. It’s usually about 10% of the plan’s download bandwidth. For example, a 100 Mbps plan might have up to 10 Mbps for upload speed, or a 25 Mbps plan might give you 3 Mbps for uploading. Frontier doesn’t specify for its DSL plans, but unless you’re doing a lot of uploading (like constantly posting to your vlog on YouTube), you don’t need much upload bandwidth anyway.

If it’s not enough, fiber internet plans (including FiberOptic plans) often give you the same amount of bandwidth for uploading and downloading, which makes them great for heavy uploaders.

Latency

Latency (sometimes called ping or ping rate) is a little different. Firstly, it isn’t necessarily tied to the internet package you choose. Secondly, unlike with speed, low latency is actually better than high latency.

Basically, latency is the time it takes for your click to travel to the server and for the effects of that click to show on your computer. If you’ve ever experienced lag while playing an online game, you’re familiar with the effects of high latency. Two m
