How to Check Your Network Speed
Before starting your interview or assessment, test your connection using Talview’s speed test tool:
👉 Run Speed Test
Steps:
- Click Start Test to begin.
- Wait for the test to finish — it automatically measures download, upload, and latency.
- Compare your results with the values in the Recommended Network Metrics table below.
Tip: Run the test on the same device and browser you’ll use for the interview.
Recommended Network Metrics
| Parameter | Recommended Value | What It Means |
|---|
| Ping (Latency) | ≤ 50 ms | Measures response time; lower values mean less delay during calls. |
| Jitter | ≤ 30 ms | Indicates connection stability; lower jitter ensures consistent audio. |
| Download Speed | ≥ 5 Mbps | Ensures you can receive real-time audio and video smoothly. |
| Upload Speed | ≥ 5 Mbps | Ensures your audio is transmitted clearly to others. |
- Use a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi for better stability.
- Close unused applications or browser tabs that consume bandwidth.
- Test from the same device and location where you’ll attend the session.
- Keep a mobile hotspot backup ready in case of network fluctuations.
A reliable network is key to maintaining clear, delay-free VoIP communication during interviews and assessments. By ensuring your internet meets these requirements, you can enjoy a professional, uninterrupted experience on the Talview platform.
