CommPeak Speed Test

The CommPeak Speed Test helps you assess the speed and quality of your connection, ensuring your VoIP communication is stable.

On the CommPeak Speed Test page, you can measure the speed and quality of your connection by analyzing download speed, upload speed, ping, packet loss, network latency, and jitter parameters. This lets you assess your network and ISP performance and make sure your VoIP communication will be stable.

Starting CommPeak Speed Test

  1. Open the CommPeak Speed Test page.
  2. On page load, the CommPeak Speed Test pop-up window with the three test blocks will open.

TIP

Alternatively, click the Learn how to achieve optimal performance link below for more details about how you can achieve optimal performance when your testing network connections.

Also, below, you can review your server details: IP, ISP name, and location: city and country.

  1. Click the Start Test button to run testing your connection's performance.
  2. The CommPeak Speed Test page will load with three testing blocks, each focusing on the specific testing parameters and shown with corresponding test progress tags (Done, Running..., or Pending):

  1. At the top of the page, a testing progress bar will display your current progress, indicating that you are on test X out of 3.
  2. If needed, you can stop the running test by clicking the Stop button at the top left of the page.

Latency Measurements to CommPeak Regions

This block tests the latency between the user and the Google POPs (Post Office Protocol) servers used by CommPeak. The testing results are returned in the table with the list of the servers that CommPeak uses.

The Your Location side section (to the right of the table) shows your network data: ISP name, IP address, and server location.

Latency Measurements to CommPeak Regions page

The table has the following fields:

FieldDescription
LocationServer's global location name
RegionServer's name within the Google Regions and zones network
JitterJitter parameter
Median latencyThe Google's network latency parameter is displayed as the colored bar that indicates the ping spectrum. The following ping tires are possible:

- Low (green bar indicator): ping spectrum range is 0 - 30
- Medium (blue bar indicator): ping spectrum range is 31 - 100
- High (red bar indicator): ping spectrum range is 101 - 1000

To see all of Google's POP servers that CommPeak uses, click the More Regions link below. A pop-up window will open with a table listing all Google's regions used by CommPeak, organized by ascending median latency (ping) values.

Internet Connectivity Performance test results

The following parameters are displayed:

ParameterDescription
Network Quality ScoreIndicates the calculated user network score. The possible network scores are:

- Bad
- Poor
- Average
- Good
- Great
DownloadDownload speed performance is displayed as the colored bar; the bar filled in green color indicates fast download speed.
UploadUpload speed performance displayed as the colored bar; the bar filled in green color indicates fast upload speed.
PingUser's ping value measured against the Cloudflare network and displayed in ms; also, the maximum and minimum ping values in ms are shown.
Packet lossPacket loss percentage
JitterJitter shows the variation between response times measured in ms. The text is red if this parameter is higher than 20 ms. Additionally, the maximum and minimum jitter values in ms are shown.

📘

NOTE

In the event of network problems or poor connectivity, or if you have Firewalls/NAT (Network address translation) configured on your network, the ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) process may time out, and the ICE Connection Timeout message will appear.

Here, you will see the same parameters as in the Internet Connectivity Performance test except for Packet loss and with the following possible network scores:

  • Bad
  • Average
  • Good.

You can also choose the CommPeak's server you wish to perform the speed test to.

Sharing Your Test Results

After testing your connection's performance is complete, a notification will appear in the top bar of the page.

Click the Restart button at the top left to restart measuring test data.
