China Telecom Speed Test (中国电信测速)
Use this page to verify your China Telecom (中国电信) broadband speed. Ensure your Fiber connection (Broadband 1000M) is delivering the full performance you pay for, especially for gaming and streaming.
China Telecom provides some of the best fiber infrastructure in China, with high international bandwidth capacity (CN2). Plans typically offer 200M, 500M, or 1000M download speeds.
Correctly Interpreting Speed Test Results
A China Telecom speed test measures three critical factors:
Download Speed: Should be close to your plan. For a 1000M plan, expect 920-950 Mbps over Ethernet.
Upload Speed: Typically 30-100 Mbps depending on your city and plan.
Latency (Ping): China Telecom is known for excellent domestic latency (<10ms) and decent international connectivity.
Always perform tests using a wired connection (Gigabit LAN) to rule out Wi-Fi interference.
China Telecom Fiber: Expected Performance
Technical Characteristics
Technology: FTTH (Fiber to the Home). Usually GPON or XG-PON.
Gateways: Huawei, ZTE, and FiberHome Smart Gateways.
Peak Hours: 8 PM - 11 PM. Minor slowdowns may occur.
Typical Speeds
Download: 90-110% of provisioned speed (Wired).
Wi-Fi: 5 GHz is mandatory for speeds > 100 Mbps.
Ping: 4–12ms (Domestic servers).
If you have a 1000M plan but get only 90 Mbps, verify you are not using an old "Fast Ethernet" (100Mbps) switch or cable.
Troubleshooting Slow Speeds
Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz: This band is extremely congested in China. Switch your device to the 5Ghz WiFi network.
IPTV Box: Heavy 4K streaming on the IPTV set-top box shares bandwidth with your internet.
Modem Overheating: Ensure your Optical Modem has ventilation.
China Telecom Router Login (Super Password)
Access your Optical Network Terminal (ONT) settings to bridge usage, change Wi-Fi, or check optical power.

How to Login
- Ensure connection to the China Telecom network.
- Navigate to 192.168.1.1.
- For basic Wi-Fi changes, use the 'useradmin' and password from the sticker.
- For advanced users needing Bridge Mode, try the Super Admin credentials above.
Gateway Light Indicators
Power: Solid Green = On.
PON (Optical): Solid Green = Connected to Fiber Network.
LOS (Loss of Signal): Blinking Red = Fiber Cut. Call 10000 immediately.
LAN 1/2/3/4: Blinking Green = Data transfer active.
Wired Certification
Wi-Fi results vary wildly. Connect a computer to LAN Port 1 (Gigabit) to confirm if you are getting the speed you pay for.
When to Contact Support (10000)
Dial 10000 for customer service if:
The LOS light is flashing red.
Your optical power signals (dBm) are too weak (below -27dBm).
You need to reset your broadband password.
FAQs
What is the China Telecom super password? The default superadmin username is `telecomadmin` and the password is `nE7jA%5m`. This grants full control over the modem.
How do I fix the red blinking LOS light? This means the fiber line is broken. Do not bend the fiber cable. Contact support for a technician visit.
Why is upload speed much slower than download? Residential fiber in China is asymmetric. 1000M download usually pairs with 50-100M upload.
