Your connection
Measured by your own agents, merged across your devices over the last 7 days.
The last 24 hours
Hour by hour, ending now, from every device on your account.
Weekly pattern
The same hour of the same weekday, four weeks deep. Peak-hour congestion is the commonest fault on a consumer line and the one a daily average hides: perfect for twenty hours, unusable from eight to eleven, and “slightly below par” on paper.
Assessments
Reports from “Assess my Internet” and from the desktop app, kept here for seven days. Open one to read it or save it as a PDF to send to your provider; it is visible to you alone.
Speed tests
Every test your agents have run. Share one by link when you need to show somebody a number — it freezes the result and you can revoke it at any time.
Diagnosis reports
Publishing mints an unguessable link that expires and that you can revoke at any time. Until you publish, a report is visible to you alone.
Path traces
Every router between you and the target, with what each one did to your probes. Loss at a middle hop is usually that router deprioritising its own replies rather than anything reaching you — the State column says which is which, so a screenshot of this table cannot be misread.
Your ISP links
A link is your ISP’s own service ID plus a sharing decision you control. Adding a link shares nothing; the switch does, and only for the data named beside it.
Add a link
Tickets
A ticket goes to your ISP’s portal inbox and their support mailbox at the same time, tagged with your service ID. Attach a report and they get the evidence, not just a complaint.
Raise a ticket
Network pros
When a diagnosis points at something on-site — wiring, Wi-Fi coverage, the router itself — a verified local engineer is the next step. Bookings and payment live here; every pro shown has passed identity verification, and the door code on a scheduled visit is how you know the person arriving is the person you booked.
Are you a network engineer? Offer your services — verification required before anything is visible.
Devices
Every computer running Helix on your connection. To add one, install the app and press “Sign in with your browser” in it — approving the computer enrols it.
Advanced: a device token
For a computer that cannot open a browser. A token is shown once and stored as a one-way digest — it can be replaced, never recovered.
Your account
How you sign in, and the two things about this account you can change here. Anything that would need proof of the email address is done by a link sent to it, not from this page.
Confirm your email
Confirming proves this address is yours. Helix emails only a confirmed address: the weekly outage summary if you switch it on, and a notice when your provider replies to a ticket. A password-reset link is sent either way.
Weekly outage summary
Minutes without a connection on each of your lines, measured by your computers while they were on, and how much of the week they watched. Figures only: no addresses, no sites.

Password
This account signs in with Google and has no password. Set one with a link sent to your email — that proves the address, which a signed-in session does not.
Feedback on Helix
Something wrong with the app or the console, or something that should exist and does not? This goes to the people building it — not to your ISP, and not as a support ticket. You can attach a screenshot, and replies land here.
