FAQs
Common questions about Lumos speed tests and internet service
How do I run a Lumos speed test?
Simply click the 'Start Test' button on this page. The test will automatically measure your download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter. For best results, close other applications and use a wired connection if possible.
What is a good Lumos internet speed?
Lumos offers speeds up to 1 Gig (1,000 Mbps). For most households, 100-300 Mbps is sufficient for streaming, gaming, and working from home. However, larger households or heavy users may benefit from higher speeds.
Why is my Lumos internet slow?
Several factors can affect your internet speed: Wi-Fi interference, outdated equipment, background downloads, or network congestion. Try restarting your router, connecting via ethernet, or contact Lumos support for assistance.
How accurate is this speed test?
Our speed test provides accurate measurements of your current internet performance. However, speeds can vary based on time of day, device capabilities, and network conditions. Run multiple tests for the most reliable average.
What's the difference between download and upload speeds?
Download speed measures how fast you can receive data (streaming, browsing), while upload speed measures how fast you can send data (video calls, file uploads). Most activities require more download than upload speed.
What do ping and jitter mean?
Ping measures the time it takes for data to travel to a server and back (lower is better for gaming). Jitter measures the variation in ping times (lower is better for consistent performance).
