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?).
