Understand the connection at your address.
Use the live test to measure your own download, upload, ping and jitter. A city page then helps you check equipment, local availability and plan details. We have no representative city or provider speed rankings: names in these guides are research starting points, not endorsements or claims of coverage at your home.
A comparison you can repeat
- Record your subscribed download and upload tiers and the router and device used.
- Run several wired tests at a quiet time and again at the hour you notice problems; note the date, download, upload, ping and jitter.
- Repeat over your usual Wi-Fi. If Ethernet is fast but Wi-Fi is slow, investigate room coverage and device limits first.
- Check the full civic address and apartment number on each provider’s availability checker. The National Broadband Map helps you start, while the CRTC 50/10 target concerns service availability rather than a guaranteed result for your own test.
For a detailed explanation, read why two tests can disagree. Local averages will only appear when we have dated measurements, sample sizes and a clear method.

Provider and IP lookup research guides
Provider pages explain how to compare plan and device limits; IP pages explain why a location estimate can be wrong. These are not independently measured ISP leaderboards.
