Use our broadband speed test to check your internet speed in Ireland to help
you understand how your broadband is performing at home.
Details about your network connection
Get started with Broadband without the nonsense. Imagine offers:
Hit start and leave the tab open. We’ll measure download speed, upload speed and ping in a few seconds. No sign-up, no email required.
Plug your computer straight into the router with an Ethernet cable. Pause downloads, streaming and gaming, and ask everyone else in the house to do the same. Testing over Wi-Fi instead? Stay close to the router.
Download speed is how fast data reaches you, it’s what drives browsing, streaming and downloads. Upload speed is how fast data leaves you, it’s what matters for video calls and sharing files. Ping is your connection’s reaction time, lower is better.
A few usual suspects: Wi-Fi coverage, your device, distance from the router, and how many people are online at once. Run the test a few times across the day, and for the truest reading, go wired and connect your device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable.
Still consistently below what you’re paying for? Something’s off, and it’s worth sorting. Check what Imagine offers at your address →
