How to test your internet connection

A strong internet connection is very important while doing remote commentary. It helps us to deliver a high quality commentary experience to our audience. Here is a quick way to test your internet connection.

1. For testing, please make sure your location, network and equipment/devices are exactly the same as when you will be commentating. 
2. Go to https://www.speedtest.net/ and test your internet connection.
3. Make sure Upload and Download speeds are at least 10 Mbps each and Ping is below 100.
   

To improve the quality of your connection you can:

1. Change from WiFi to Cabled Ethernet connection, it is much more reliable to be physically connected to the router.
2. Disconnect other devices from the network (eg Phones, tablets or other computers)
3. If you cannot use a cable, move your computer closer to the router so the WiFi does not have to travel so far
4. Contact your Internet Service Provider to ask for more information to improve your connection.

Note: It is also recommended to have a backup connection (eg a 4/5G Hotspot from a mobile phone) just in case your internet provider has an outage during a live broadcast. It is best to test this process before you broadcast live too!
