What are the minimum Internet connection speed requirements and how do I test my connection?

The requirement for eCampus and its associated sites is a cable/DSL quality connection or better.

To test your connection speed, follow the directions for one or more of the following websites:

• Preferred Method: using Google Speed Test by performing the following and click RUN SPEED TEST
  • Type speed test from Google.com search
  • Direct Uniform Resource Locator (URL): 

https://www.google.com/search?q=speed+test&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS790US790&oq=speed&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j69i59j0l3.1567j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 ​

• www.speedtest.net

  Note: most up-to-date browser will route to beta-speedtest.net there use a green go button instead of a start button.

• https://fast.com/

Note: some third party sites may use adds to pay for their site and visit at your own risk. So it is important you only use the link to run the speed test and not click on the ads
