Should I test several times?

Yes. It is worth running several speed tests, as the speed on the mobile network can vary from minute to minute.

It is best to run 2–3 tests and compare the results.

For a better test result

Try to:

  • test from the same spot
  • stay close to the router
  • pause streaming and large downloads
  • make sure that not many other devices are using the network at the same time

You can also test at different times of day. At a campsite, for example, the mobile network can be more heavily loaded in the evening than in the morning or at midday.

If the results vary a lot, move the router to another spot and run a new speed test to see whether the signal improves.
