Spectrum Speed Test: Check Charter Internet Speeds

Welcome to the dedicated Spectrum Speed Test. Charter Spectrum provides broadband internet to millions of American households with no data caps and standard plans starting at 300 Mbps, 500 Mbps (Ultra), and 1 Gbps (Gig). Use our test to measure your true download, upload, ping, and jitter.

Spectrum Internet Speed Tiers and Capabilities

Spectrum delivers internet via a robust hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network. Their base tier delivers 300 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload, Ultra delivers 500 Mbps / 20 Mbps, and Spectrum Gig offers 1000 Mbps / 35 Mbps. Spectrum is currently rolling out High-Split DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades to bring symmetrical gigabit speeds across their footprint.

Wi-Fi Router & Equipment Compatibility

Spectrum provides a standalone modem paired with the My Spectrum Wi-Fi 6 router. For full gigabit speeds on Wi-Fi, test within 10-15 feet of the router on the 5GHz band. Connecting directly via Ethernet will show maximum throughput without wireless overhead.

How to Fix Slow Spectrum Internet

Slow speeds on Spectrum are frequently caused by outdated coax splitters or modem cache build-up. Power cycle both your Spectrum modem and Wi-Fi router for 60 seconds. If problems persist, check the My Spectrum app for reported local service outages.
