How To Check If Your Internet Connection Is Fast Enough For Gaming & Netflix

If you need to download a very large File, I think the best way to go about it is to let it happen overnight because of the internet connection. During overnight not only will you get an extreme speed that you need because everyone is asleep but also you wouldn’t want to stop every other thing you are doing online just to get the download finish faster for you. This same trick can’t be used when you want to watch Netflix or play a game online. And not only will you need a very high download speed to play games efficiently but you will also need a low latency.

Many online internet speed testing services check the latency of your internet connection in addition to its download and upload speed thought SourceForge has a new internet speed checking tool that figures and tells you if your internet speed is capable for watching Hulu, Netflix, or streaming live to Twitch and gaming.

The tab that says “Services not recommended” will tell you if your internet connection is good enough to play games or watch Netflix.
