Don’t be concerned by small differences between results. Run the test several times and at different times of the day to get a fuller picture of your broadband performance.You can select a different location by choosing a new server from the drop-down list before you begin a test, or from the results page before you begin a new test. The Chorus Speed Test will automatically select a test server nearest to you.Just remember to reconnect everything after your test. You might like to take the extra step and temporarily turn off your router's wifi and disconnect ethernet cables from other devices like your TV. If other family members are using the internet when you run your test, there will be less bandwidth (or capacity on your connection) to run the test properly. Close down all your tabs and restart your browser before beginning the speed test. The Chorus Speed Test runs in your browser and activity in other tabs will slow your system and affect your results.Restart your computer or close memory-hungry applications like image editors, video and music streaming apps as they can slow down your system and skew your test results.Ethernet cables deliver data many times faster than wifi, so always plug in your device before you start your test.
