Want to know how fast your Internet connection is? Here is a free speed test to measure your bandwidth. Start the test by clicking on "GO".
To find out your connection speed, you usually need to perform a test using a free tool like the one presented on this page. With this test you can measure :
This flow test allows measure your download speed and upload speedwhich are the main parameters that affect your daily connection.
It is therefore important to have a good Internet connection on a daily basis. If you have noticed that your connection is slow after this test, read our dedicated article to find out how to improve your Internet connection.
Four analysis parameters are taken into account to test your bandwidth:
The analysis of these 4 parameters allows you to have a complete understanding of the state of your Internet connection.
These are the ideal parameters to achieve if you have a fibre subscription:
These values are indicative and depend on many factors (your Internet subscription, your fibre connection, the configuration of your home, etc).
However, if you have an ADSL subscription, you are unlikely to achieve this performance. In this case, we advise you to find a fibre subscription.
To ensure that you have accurate values that best represent your Internet connection:
Fibre Internet is the fastest connection method you can have. It connects the servers to your modem via cables where the information travels by light signals. So, theoretically, information travels at the speed of light!
Your modem then converts this light signal so that it can be transmitted over copper cables (Ethernet cables) and Wi-Fi to all the computers, tablets and phones in the house.
With a fibre connection you can reach :
All Luxembourg Internet providers now offer fibre. Feel free to analyse their offers on our online comparisons.
With Wifi, the matter is more complicated to determine. Indeed, the speed of the connection depends on several factors:
It is difficult to establish averages or values for a Wi-Fi connection. However, as an example, reception speeds of 500 Mbit/s can be obtained from an iPhone 12 located a few metres from a Fritzbox modem.
ADSL (or "asymmetrical digital link") is the first version of fast Internet: it uses the copper telephone network, but on different frequencies from telephone communications. At the time, in the early 2000s, it was a real revolution: you could surf the Internet and use the telephone at the same time! ADSL was then improved several times, notably with ADSL2+ which is in force today.
With ADSL, it is now possible to reach the following speeds:
If you reach these values, many European countries consider you to have "good broadband". But let's be clear: they have nothing to do with performance of the Internet fibre. However, ADSL is still very useful for connecting households that are not yet connected to the fibre network (e.g. in the countryside).
Most sites offer the same speed tests: these are tests carried out by the same providers. The best known are nPerf and Speedtest. On this site, we offer a Speedtest tool. The values obtained by the 2 tools are relatively similar.
To test your throughput, you can use a free analysis tool. After running it, it takes a few seconds to a minute to measure your connection speed. You will then have all the information you need to understand your connection: receive speed, send speed, latency and jitter.
Most fibre Internet providers offer download speeds of 1 Gbit/s. However, these theoretical values are rarely reached. In Luxembourg, a normal fibre speed is between 300 and 600 Mbit/s download. It can be lower during peak hours and higher during off-peak hours.
A speed test is a free tool to measure your Internet connection speed. It is a module hosted by a test provider, which performs its measurements from a test server. To perform the test, the server sends and requests to receive data, so that it can calculate download and upload speeds.
First, check the details of the Internet subscription you have taken out. It will tell you the theoretical download and upload speeds advertised by the Internet provider. Next, make a free online debit test to measure your connection.

Some Luxembourgers find out that their first Internet bill will cost them more than €300. How to avoid these fibre installation costs?
