[ ABOUT PONG.COM ]
Free internet speed test and real-time network operations dashboard. Built for people who want to understand their connection, not just see a single number.
// Internet Speed Test
Measure download, upload, ping, jitter, and bufferbloat in a single test. Sustained 12-second window with parallel HTTP/2 streams to accurately measure gigabit and multi-gigabit connections.
Run a speed test →// Network Diagnostics
Traceroute, BGP routing, DNS lookup, ping test, jitter analysis, packet loss measurement, IP geolocation, ASN lookup, and Wi-Fi signal diagnostics. 59+ tools, all free.
Browse all tools →// Connection Health Score
Get an A through F grade for your connection based on speed, latency, jitter, bufferbloat, and packet loss. More useful than download speed alone.
Get your grade →// ISP Performance Database
Compare real-world speeds across major ISPs (Spectrum, Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Frontier and 25+ more). Detailed pages for every major US provider.
ISP directory →// City Speed Tests
Find typical internet speeds in your city, the fastest ISPs available, and how your area compares nationally. Speed test results aggregated by location.
City speed tests →// Service Outage Tracker
Real-time status monitoring for Google, YouTube, Netflix, AWS, Cloudflare, Discord, GitHub, Zoom, Slack and more. Find out if it's just you or actually down.

?>What is Pong.com?
Pong.com is a free real-time internet operations dashboard. It runs a live speed test (download, upload, ping, jitter, bufferbloat) and surfaces measurements from the global internet: edge node latency, BGP-level routing, DNS resolver performance, service status across major providers, gaming server pings, CDN race results, and your connection's streaming and gaming capacity.
?>Is Pong.com free? Do I need an account?
Pong.com is completely free with no signup required. Every tool — speed test, network diagnostics, DNS lookup, traceroute, IP info — is free for unlimited use. Optional accounts unlock advanced features like scheduled tests and historical analytics.
?>How is Pong.com different from Speedtest.net or Fast.com?
Pong.com tests across the real public internet, not inside an ISP's own network. Many traditional speed tests use servers hosted by your ISP, which can show inflated numbers because the test traffic never leaves the ISP's infrastructure. Pong.com also measures bufferbloat (latency under load), packet loss, and gives a Connection Health Score from A to F based on multiple metrics, not just download speed.
?>What is bufferbloat and why does Pong.com test for it?
Bufferbloat is excessive packet buffering in routers that causes your latency to spike when your connection is under load. It's why your video calls freeze when someone else streams 4K, or your online game lags during a download. Most speed tests ignore it. Pong.com grades it from A (no issue) to F (critical) so you can diagnose real connection quality, not just raw speed.
?>What tools does the Pong.com dashboard include?
The dashboard includes: live download/upload speed gauge, connection health radar, throughput chart, global edge network map (16 nodes), network path tracer, DNS resolver comparison across Cloudflare/Google/Quad9/OpenDNS/AdGuard, DNS root server health, gaming server latency map, CDN speed race, HTTP/3 adoption check, browser capability report, VPN detector, ISP speed leaderboard, country leaderboard, submarine cable status map, bufferbloat continuous monitor, service status for major providers, and a daily internet history fact.
?>Where are Pong.com's test servers located?
Pong.com operates 16 dedicated test servers worldwide via Linode/Akamai infrastructure: Newark, Atlanta, Dallas, Fremont, Chicago, Seattle, Miami, Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Singapore, Mumbai, Sydney, and Sao Paulo. The default speed test uses Cloudflare's global edge network (300+ locations) for the lowest-latency path to your location.
?>How accurate is Pong.com's speed test?
Pong.com uses parallel HTTP/2 streams to saturate gigabit and multi-gigabit connections, with a 12-second sustained download window for stable measurements. Results are typically within 5% of the true line speed on wired connections. Wi-Fi results vary based on your wireless adapter and signal strength, which is normal across all browser-based speed tests.
?>Does Pong.com work on mobile?
Yes. The full dashboard works on iOS and Android browsers. Speed test results on mobile are typically 15-30% lower than desktop results on the same network because of smaller Wi-Fi antennas and mobile CPU constraints. This is consistent with all browser-based speed tests.
