Wi-Fi/Internet speed test

[Eman Hooy]

Hi I was wondering why when I was doing a Wi-Fi/Internet speed test It connected and did a test with something in Sydney, but that’s quite far away from where I live i’m in the state of Queensland and that’s in New South Wales, And my town in Queensland is called Gayndah It’s the oldest town, so I was wondering why it wasn’t doing a service check from here, or somewhere closer?

Hi Eman,

M-Lab directs users to the geographically closest server -- in this case, one located in Sydney, as we do not have a server in Queensland. You can see where M-Lab servers are located in our Infrastructure Map on the website.

Kind regards,
