How do I test my Fido speed?
Use the speed test tool on this page to measure your Fido mobile or home internet download speed, upload speed, and ping latency. For mobile testing, ensure you have strong 5G or LTE signal and close background apps. For home internet, place your device near the Fido gateway for best results. Wireless speeds vary by location, time of day, and network congestion, so test multiple times for accurate averages.
How does Fido home internet compare to cable?
Fido 5G Home Internet offers speeds up to 100 Mbps while cable providers like Rogers and Shaw offer speeds up to 1.5 Gbps. Cable generally provides faster and more consistent speeds since wired connections are not affected by wireless signal conditions. Fido home internet requires no installation and works anywhere with 5G coverage, making it ideal for renters or temporary housing. Cable is better for heavy users, gaming, and households with multiple devices.
