We have set up this internal test for you some time ago.
The test shows how much your connection in your dorm room can handle.
We hope that all devices connected to our network via cable have a ping of less than 5 and an insignificant jitter.
A high jitter of over 5 indicates that the device from which you are measuring is connected via Wi-Fi and may be affected by what we call the 2.4 GHz problem.
Both download and upload should be just below the respective maximum of your building, i.e. 100 MBit/s or 1 GBit/s (1000 MBit/s). You can find out how fast the connections in your dormitory are under the expandable map on the “Facts and Figures” page.
Currently, none of the dormitories are reaching the limit of their connection.
You are visiting this page from outside our network.
| 1 | Ping | Time it takes for a single data packet to travel from your device to our servers. |
| 2 | Jitter | Variation in the time it takes for a single data packet to travel. |
| 3 | Download | Speed at which larger amounts of data are downloaded to your device. Mbps stands for "megabits per second", not to be confused with "megabytes per second". |
| 4 | Upload | Speed at which larger amounts of data are uploaded from your device. Mbps stands for "megabits per second", not to be confused with "megabytes per second". |
