Video calls freeze but speed tests look fine.

Calls need low loss, jitter and latency, not just throughput. Test near the router or wired and check other uploads, VPN and Wi‑Fi retries.

What to check

Packet loss; jitter; loaded latency; upload; VPN; RSSI.

When to get help from a person

Escalate persistent wired loss/jitter.

Show the technical detail
On a managed Wi-Fi plan

Correlate radio/WAN telemetry at call times; optimise or wire the workstation.

On another provider's router

Use provider diagnostics, then app/employer support.

What to be careful of

Do not diagnose call platform solely from Mbps.
