To conduct the most accurate speed test on your Trailblazer Broadband service, we recommend that you download our Speedtest.net App following these instructions:

  1. Connect to Trailblazer Internet Via Nokia Gateway ONT and Ethernet Cable
  2. Disable WiFi & close all applications
  3. Download Speedtest.net Desktop App
  4. Ensure Trailblazer Broadband is selected as the server
  5. Run Test by Clicking “Go”
Please note that due to ethernet overhead, you will not see a full 1Gbps, but slightly less.
Other factors that can negatively impact your speed test and achieve slower results are:
  1. Connecting through WiFi or not disabling WiFi
  2. Running the speed test in a web browser
  3. Running the speed test on a slower computer or a computer running other programs
  4. Running the speed test through an internet provider other than Trailblazer Broadband
