This check runs on a real home internet connection in Germany — a small hardware probe plugged into an ordinary household router, not a cloud server. It sees the web the way a person there does: the local ISP's routing and DNS, national peering, and any geo-blocks or filtering that apply.
Right now 53 measured homes across 9 providers in Germany feed this check. Latency below is the median round trip from those homes, with each home's own Wi-Fi hop subtracted.
| Provider | Latency | Homes |
|---|---|---|
| 1&1 Versatel GmbH | 12 ms | 12 |
| Deutsche Telekom AG | 13 ms | 11 |
| Vodafone GmbH | 20 ms | 22 |
The check fires from Germany alongside nodes in 30 other countries, so a single run shows you the difference between "Germany has a problem" and "the site is down everywhere". How it works →
