![]() Wireless carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon do show up in our data, but they have yet to earn index scores that would qualify them to appear in the results. Of those, 277,046 tests originated in the United States-that’s the subset of data used for this story. This year we received 833,701 test results between Jand June 7, 2022. The exception in our criteria for “major ISPs” is that they have at least 1,000 tests in our results, must provide service in multiple states, and have at least a million subscribers. We only include ISPs that have a minimum of 100 tests (even if it is an ISP in one specific location) we only include specific locations that show 100 or more tests. Our data does not include any information about plan types, tiers of service, data caps, pricing, or things like customer service. Each chart shows the top 10 ISPs (or locations) for the category. The blue bars in the charts below indicate PSI the curvy lines on the graphs show the same ISP’s average download speed (red) and upload speed (yellow) in Mbps. Using that indicator, we can directly compare ISPs. It is what we have dubbed the PCMag Speed Index (PSI). The combination of those two numbers is no longer a speed that can be measured in Mbps. Each year we reconsider the formula, but we continue to believe that most people remain primarily concerned with downloads, considering how much of our time is spent on video and music streaming at home. We then run a formula we’ve been using since 2011, which takes 80% of the download speed and adds it to 20% of the upload speed. The PCMag Speed Test records the name of your ISP, your location, and download and upload speed (in Kilobits per second, or Kbps), as well as measurements for jitter and latency in the connection (which we use in our Best Gaming ISPs story.) We convert the Kbps tests to Megabits per second (Mbps) by dividing by 1,000. Pause video or music streaming on your network. For the most accurate results of any speed test, you should: The PCMag Speed Test works on any secure desktop or mobile web browser.
