To get an accurate reading of your Mahek Broadband internet speed, it’s important to test it using the correct method and conditions.
Speed test results can vary based on your device type, Wi-Fi strength, background apps, and even the website or server you use — so following the proper steps ensures a true reflection of your plan performance.
🧭 ✅ Step-by-Step Guide to Test Your Internet Speed
⚙️ 1. Use a Reliable Speed Test Tool
For the most accurate results, use one of these trusted platforms:
- Speedtest.net (Ookla)
- Speed.cloudflare.com
- Fast.com (by Netflix)
- Or use Mahek Broadband’s integrated test portal: mahekbroadband.in/speedtesting
💡 Use at least two tools for comparison — results may vary slightly depending on server distance.
💻 2. Use a Wired (LAN) Connection for the Most Accurate Result
Wi-Fi signals can fluctuate due to distance or interference.
For a true speed reading:
- Connect your computer directly to the router using a LAN cable.
- Disconnect all other devices temporarily.
- Run the test 2–3 times and note the average result.
✅ A LAN test reflects your plan’s full speed potential.
📶 3. If Testing on Wi-Fi
If you don’t have a LAN connection:
- Stand within 2–3 meters of the router (line of sight).
- Ensure no other devices are streaming or downloading.
- Test on the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band for higher speed accuracy.
- Avoid testing during heavy usage (evening peak hours).
🔁 4. Restart Before Testing
Before running your test:
- Restart both ONT (fiber device) and router.
- Wait 2 minutes for the connection to stabilize.
- Close all background apps (cloud backups, VPNs, updates).
📱 5. Test on Multiple Devices
Try running the test on:
- A smartphone (Wi-Fi)
- A laptop (Wi-Fi or LAN)
If one shows full speed and another doesn’t, it may be due to device hardware limitations.
💡 Older devices may have limited Wi-Fi chipsets that cap speeds below your plan rate.
📊 Interpreting Your Speed Test Results
| Parameter | Meaning | Ideal Range |
|---|---|---|
| Download Speed | Speed for streaming, browsing, and downloads | Close to your plan speed |
| Upload Speed | Speed for video calls, cloud uploads | 50–100% of download speed |
| Ping / Latency | Delay between request and response | < 30 ms = Excellent |
| Jitter | Connection stability | < 10 ms = Stable |
If your result is consistently lower than your plan, contact Mahek Broadband support for assistance.
⚡ Example:
If you are on a 100 Mbps Plan, your results should approximately show:
- Download: 90–100 Mbps
- Upload: 70–90 Mbps
- Ping: < 25 ms
(Slight variations are normal due to real-time network traffic.)
