• Rule out Wi-Fi: a single Ethernet test tells you whether a slow result comes from your ISP or from your local wireless
• Compare peak vs. off-peak: if your evening speed drops 20%+ from your morning result, the bottleneck is likely outside your home
• Watch upload and latency: these are what determine call quality, gaming responsiveness, and cloud-sync speed
