Speedtest

Before purchasing or troubleshooting streaming issues, it's useful to measure the actual download speed between your home connection and our servers. Unlike the advertised speed of your ISP, what matters for Plex streaming and FTP transfers is your single-threaded speed to our specific servers — which depends on your distance, routing, and latency. The tests below let you measure this directly by downloading a test file from each of our server locations and noting the speed your download manager reports.

Interactive Speedtest

The easiest speedtest is our interactive speedtest that will give you speeds and expected streaming quality. You can find the interactive speedtest here.

Manual Speedtest

If you are unsure what speeds you will be getting from our servers to your home computer, here are some speedtest files you can download and measure directly.
