Why Speedtest by Niriv is Different

Most ISP-provided speed tests use their own servers, which often show faster results than real-world performance. Niriv's speed test uses independent servers closest to your location, giving you accurate results that reflect your actual internet experience.

Independent Servers

Not ISP-owned servers for unbiased results

Real-world Testing

Accurate performance measurement

Nepal Focused

Designed specifically for Nepal's internet landscape

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Speedtest by Niriv?

Speedtest by Niriv is an independent internet speed testing tool designed specifically for users in Nepal. It measures your download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter using servers that are not owned by your ISP, providing more accurate real-world results.

How does it work?

Our speed test downloads and uploads data to independent servers, measures the time taken, and calculates your internet speed. We also measure latency (ping) and jitter to give you a complete picture of your connection quality.

Why is my ISP speed different from Niriv's test?

ISP speed tests often use their own servers, which can show inflated results. Niriv uses independent servers that better represent real-world internet usage, including streaming, gaming, and browsing different websites.

What affects internet speed in Nepal?

Several factors affect internet speed in Nepal: your connection type (fiber, ADSL, mobile), network congestion during peak hours, distance from ISP infrastructure, weather conditions, and the quality of your router and cables.

How can I improve my speed test accuracy?

For accurate results: close other applications using internet, connect via Ethernet cable instead of WiFi, test at different times of day, ensure no downloads/uploads are running, and run multiple tests to get an average.

How accurate is this speed test?

Our speed test uses multiple test servers and advanced algorithms to provide highly accurate results. We test from servers within Nepal to give you the most relevant speed measurements for your location.

Why is my speed different from what my ISP promised?

ISPs often advertise "up to" speeds, which are theoretical maximums. Real-world speeds can vary due to network congestion, distance from servers, device limitations, and time of day. Our test shows your actual current speed.

What affects my internet speed?

Several factors can affect your speed: network congestion during peak hours, Wi-Fi vs ethernet connection, device performance, background applications using bandwidth, and distance from your router or ISP infrastructure.

How can I improve my internet speed?

Try these tips: Use ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, restart your router regularly, close unnecessary applications, update your router firmware, position your router centrally, and consider upgrading your internet plan if needed.
