What is considered good speed for home internet and how can you test it?

Comments

1. Luna: seems like this test is more for folks with slower connections than mine, I'm pretty happy with my 250 Mbps
2. Diego: usually get decent speeds but been plagued by packet loss all summer
3. Vanta Nomad: what a basic question, still think most people wouldn't bother testing
4. Dusk Warden: speed isn't everything, but still nice to see people discussing internet performance
5. Ellismilan: I'm still waiting for someone to explain how my isp is allowed to slow me down in the middle of a live stream
6. Solar Pulse: I've got decent speed but my ping is always a bit high - anyone else notice that?
7. Aiden: same thing every time, speed test says it's fine but games still lag
