Today, most Internet service providers are marketed as high speed. Depending on where you live, it can be entirely different. Conducting a nPerf speed test is a free, quick, easy way to check your Internet service’s performance in Botswana (BTC, Mascom, Orange…).

How a speed test works?

Speed test measures your current connection’s maximum speed – how fast your device can upload and download information – by accessing nearby servers. The nPerf speed tests measure:

• Download speed: concretely, it matters when downloading data from applications such as your friends’ photos on Facebook or your favorite influencer’s videos on Instagram.
• Upload speed: how fast can you send files via email or share a post on social media for instance?
• Latency: it describes how responsive a connection is, which is quite important when timing is everything such as video games.
• Want to know more? On the nPerf app (Android & iOS), we also do a browsing test (how fast can you get access to the top 5 websites in Botswana) and a streaming test (can you get access to the best video quality on YouTube in your country?).

You can check directly on our website if your city in Botswana has a good 4G quality service. It works by operator and localization. In other words, this is an interactive map, powered by nPerf, which represents the coverage of 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G mobile networks. Just select one carrier and zoom in to see the city or any area you want.

The data is collected from tests carried out by users of the nPerf app. These are tests conducted in real conditions, directly in the field. The more data there is, the more comprehensive the maps will be! All test results are displayed on the maps.

Data is displayed for two years. After two years, the oldest data is removed from the maps once a month.
