Aquila – Speed & Latency Test

Aquila measures what your line actually delivers: download, upload, latency – and the bufferbloat that explains why everything stalls the moment an upload is running. A run takes about 25 seconds. One dial, two numbers, one line of latency. WHAT IS MEASURED • Download and upload in megabits per second • Latency of the idle line – median of seven probes • Latency under load: the same measurement while download and upload run • Bufferbloat: the difference between the two. If your latency rises from 20 to 300 milliseconds under load, that is why video calls stutter – and it is not a question of bandwidth MEASURED HONESTLY • Six streams down, four up – a single connection is limited by its window, not by your line • A separate connection per stream, otherwise you measure HTTP/2 multiplexing • The first two seconds do not count: they show the ramp-up • Random data on upload – zeros would…
