Lag

Hello, my internet connection seems to be quite slow. Reason i say this is that my lag symbol is either on orange or red. Seems this is somewhat unfortunate in Blitz games too. What can i do to get to the green area as almost all the other players?

Any good suggestions? How can i find out how fast my internet connections actually is?

It will default to a nearby server, but once done you can select a new server.  I suspect choosing one of the two San Francisco servers will give you a good idea what you can expect when connecting to chess.com.

Thanks for answering. Took the speedtest. Download speed 25,48 mps, upload speed 4,85 mps.

To the San Francisco server?

San Francisco server: Download speed: 1,6 Mbps, upload speed 1,08 Mbps

That's probably your issue right there.

 Anything i can do about that besides moving to San Francisco?

Not sure, maybe ask your ISP why the discrepancy?

 Thanks a lot for taking your time!
