Confirmation

The speed test is recommended for all users, home-based workers especially. To confirm a successful speed test, the ping to your router's network connection should be successful. It will show the current upload and download speed.

Your Sococo experience will be best with the following speed test results:

  • A latency of 150ms or less.

  • 0% packet loss.

  • A minimum of 5 Mbps download speed.

  • A minimum of 2 Mbps upload speed.
