Quality Scores

cloud-speed calculates AIM (Aggregated Internet Measurement) quality scores based on your connection's performance:

Score Meaning
Great Excellent for this use case
Good Should work well with no issues
Average May experience occasional issues
Poor Likely to have problems

Categories

  • Streaming – Video streaming services (Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, etc.)
  • Gaming – Online gaming latency and stability requirements
  • Video Conferencing – Video calls (Zoom, Teams, Meet, etc.)

Scores are calculated based on download/upload speeds, latency, jitter, and packet loss.
