Test your Business Internet speed


Check the speed of your Business Internet, including upload and download speeds, by following these steps:

  1. Use a computer with an Ethernet port that can handle your plan’s internet speed.
  2. Directly connect the computer to the highest-rated port on your GCI-provided modem, using a CAT 6 or better Ethernet cable.
  3. Run tests against our speed test servers, below.

Note: Running speed tests on older devices and/or different websites at various times may result in lower speeds due to factors beyond GCI's control.

Test the speed to your device

Understand the speeds at which a specific device is operating.


Devices may be limited by slower WiFi connections or age and are therefore unlikely to achieve the full GCI-provided speed.

The age of your device has a major impact on speed test results. Newer devices can handle much faster speeds than older ones.

Check if your current modem can fully support your plan’s speed

Tips to maximize your high speed business internet

  1. Make sure your modem can handle your internet plan.
  2. Know how fast your device can go, and remember that older devices might be slower.
  3. Move your device closer to your WiFi gateway. Being closer means a better signal and less interference.
  4. Keep your WiFi box in an open area, away from big objects and other electronics that might block the signal. Don't put it on the floor or in a tight spot like a cabinet or drawer. This helps your WiFi work better.
  5. If your WiFi still isn't working, try manually restarting it. Unplug the power cord, wait one minute, then plug it back in.

If you still think something is wrong with your WiFi and you can't fix it, let us know. We'll send a technician to help you. Call us at 800-800-7754.
