Use this free Verizon speed test to measure your Verizon Fios fiber or Verizon 5G Home Internet connection. The test reports download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter in under a minute.
Verizon Fios is a fiber connection, so upload speeds are typically just as fast as download speeds (symmetric). Verizon 5G Home Internet is wireless, so speeds vary more with signal strength, placement of the gateway, and network congestion.
Verizon Fios plans range from 300 Mbps to 2,000 Mbps+, with matching upload speeds. A healthy Fios result is very close to the advertised rate on a wired connection — fiber has little overhead loss.
Verizon 5G Home Internet typically delivers 100–300 Mbps download and 10–30 Mbps upload, but results swing with signal quality. Place the 5G gateway near a window facing the nearest tower and avoid obstructions for the best result.
On Fios, slow speeds are almost always a home-network issue: test with an Ethernet cable directly from the ONT or router. If wired is fast but Wi-Fi is slow, upgrade router placement or consider a mesh system.
On 5G Home, check the gateway’s signal indicator and try different window placements. Peak-hour congestion affects wireless more than fiber, so test at off-peak times for comparison.
For the most accurate result, connect your computer directly to your router with an Ethernet cable if possible. If you must use Wi-Fi, stand close to the router and disconnect other devices during the test.
Close streaming apps, cloud backups, and other browser tabs before clicking Start. Run the test 2–3 times at different times of day — speeds often dip during evening peak hours (7–11 PM) when many households are online.
Download speed (Mbps) controls how fast you can stream, browse, and download files. Upload speed (Mbps) affects video calls, live streaming, and cloud backups. Ping (ms) measures responsiveness — under 50 ms is good for gaming and calls. Jitter (ms) measures consistency — lower is better, especially for voice and video.
Compare your download result to your plan’s advertised speed. Most providers advertise “up to” speeds, so a result within about 20% of the advertised rate is normal.
On a wired connection, Fios should deliver very close to your plan speed — 280+ Mbps on a 300 Mbps plan is typical. Uploads should roughly match downloads on fiber.
