Eastlink Internet Speed Test

You can check your internet speed at the top of this page, in the box with a blue button that says “Start Speed Test”. Once you’ve tapped on the button, our site will assess your download speed and show you its result. Afterward, you may want to select “Show More Info” to access latency and upload test speeds as well.

You can increase the accuracy of your internet speed test results by rebooting your modem and router, restarting your computer/smartphone, halting any other internet activity, and using an ethernet connection to your router instead of Wi-Fi. If the results are still not to your liking, there may be some additional improvements you can make to your Eastlink Internet plan.

If you’re not getting the download, upload, and latency test results you expect, there are a few steps you can take to optimize your internet connection. 

• Reboot your modem and router
• Connect your computer to the network using an ethernet cable
• Reboot your computer/smartphone
• Make sure no other apps are using the internet

If you find that you’re still not getting the speeds promised by your plan, reach out to Eastlink customer support at 1-888-345-1111 for more help. If, on the other hand, you find that a faster connection is required, check out other Eastlink internet plans that may better suit your speed needs. 

The best Earthlink internet plan is the Internet 1GB Fibre Link plan, which offers 940Mbps downloads and unlimited data. The plan costs $74.95/month in Ontario, $89.95/month in Alberta, and $79.95/month in British Columbia.

A good internet speed depends on your needs. Download speeds of 15Mbps will be good for basic internet use by one person. Gaming and SD streaming by multiple people will need at least 50Mbps. If you're streaming HD video, taking part in multi-player gaming, or working from home, you'll want at least 150Mbps.
