Speed Test

How fast is your internet connection? Take the Speed Test and find out! Note down your download and upload speeds and use the Broadband Speeds and Applications Chart below to determine what applications—YouTube, streaming music, file sharing, Skype, video conferencing, High Definition surveillance, etc.—are possible with your present service.

By taking the test, you will also be helping ConnectME and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration build a comprehensive map of broadband service in the state of Maine. Your test, which involves entering your address only, helps us to independently verify service speeds reported by providers.

If you'd like to help even more, please fill out the Broadband Service Verification Questionnaire.
