Vi Speed Test (India)

This page allows Vi (Vodafone Idea) broadband subscribers to accurately verify their internet speeds. Whether you are on Vi One GigaFiber or You Broadband, use this tool to ensure you are getting the bandwidth you pay for.

Vi has expanded its fiber operations across major Indian cities, often partnering with local cable operators (LCOs) or using its subsidiary You Broadband infra, delivering speeds up to 1 Gbps.

Interpreting Your Vi Speed Test Results

Check these key numbers after the test:

Download Speed: The primary speed for streaming Netflix/Hotstar. A 100 Mbps Vi plan should consistency deliver 90-100 Mbps on a LAN cable.

Upload Speed: Crucial for Work From Home (Teams/Zoom). Fiber plans are usually symmetric (100 Mbps Up/Down). If upload is < 10 Mbps, there may be a configuration issue.

Ping (Latency): The time it takes data to travel to the server. Local ping (e.g., to Mumbai/Bangalore servers) should be under 20ms. High ping (>100ms) ruins gaming performance.

Note: Speeds may vary during peak hours (8 PM - 11 PM) if the local fiber node is congested.
