A new Wi-Fi router paired with a new smartphone has more than enough bandwidth capacity to outpace a 25 Mpbs DSL connection. The exception to this rule, of course, is if you’re rocking really nice hardware connected to a slow broadband connection. If your overall broadband speed is higher than what the Wi-Fi gear in your house can handle, you’ll always get inaccurate results running a speed test using a Wi-Fi device. This includes not only smartphones but everything else on the network using Wi-Fi including tablets, laptops, game consoles, streaming devices, and smart TVs. Why? Because, except for folks with slower connections, the overall speed of the internet connection (as measured directly at the modem) is faster than what a single connection between the Wi-Fi hardware and any Wi-Fi device can handle. If you’re getting speed test results that are a fraction of the internet speed you pay for while using your phone, the likely culprit behind the bottleneck is your Wi-Fi router and/or the Wi-Fi device you’re running the test on.
