To use the broadband speedtest you will need the Java Plugin installed in your browser. If you already have the Java Plugin simply click the Load Test button below.
If you don't have the Java Plugin installed, or you're not sure if you do, please get it from the Java website.
Note: After you click the Load Test button you will need to click the Begin Test button on the next screen to start the test.
Remember - your broadband speed will vary depending on things like how far you are from our equipment and how many other people are using the internet at the same time. So the speed of your plan is the maximum possible speed - not a guaranteed speed.
