Test your download and upload speed, as well as the ping latency instantly and accurately. Whichever Internet operator in Nigeria you are a customer of (MTN, Airtel, 9mobile, ntel, Glo…) you can test your connection with the nPerf speed test.

nPerf uses a worldwide dedicated servers network, which is optimized to deliver enough bitrate to saturate your connection, so that we can measure its bitrate accurately.

nPerf speed test is compatible with all broadband and mobile connections: ADSL, VDSL, cable, optical fiber FTTH / FTTB, satellite, wifi, wimax, cellular 2G / 3G / 4G (LTE), 5G.

How nPerf speed test works

A speed test measures the maximum speed of your connection – how fast your device can upload and download information – by accessing nearby servers.

With nPerf, you assess:

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

Thanks to all these information, you can determine how good (or bad) your Internet connection really is. So, how fast is your connection? 

Also, you can test the quality of your streaming and web browsing in Nigeria with the nPerf app.

Do you know which company has the best cellular data coverage in Nigeria? If you’re looking for the ideal service for you because the coverage of your current service is poor and you want to have the best mobile service coverage in your area, it is important to know before changing networks if you can use that plan that suits you.

The best way to check the availability of mobile phone service in your area is to know where there is good coverage where you are traveling, whether you are moving or going on a trip.

If you are a company, you own a website or you are a journalist, you can install the speed test and the coverage map of Nigeria on your website.
