What is throughput speed?

Throughput speed is the traffic speed you experience on your line and can be measured by an online speed checker, such as Speedtester.bt.com.

As speeds vary constantly, these tests provide only a snapshot of your download speed.

Our services, including BT Business Total Broadband and BT Infinity for business are designed to provide you with the fastest possible speed under any line conditions.

Any low Broadband speed is likely to be temporary, but if it is constantly low, please visit below.
