Test web speed

I was looking at a Win8 app to show my download/upload speeds and stumbled on what I think is a better site than speedtest.net

It's called speedof.me and seems more accurate and very simple.

Only gripe is I wish the Start Test... button was more prominent.

Download Speed: 20.08 Mbps

Upload Speed: 5.56 Mbps

Not bad conidering I pay for 15/5. Speedtest usually rates my downstream at 18mbps

3

Download: 7.97 Mbps

Upload: 1.04 Mbps

Hope they stand by this line

It is the smartest and most accurate online bandwidth test.

Ran the test more then 5 times getting random results even with no downloads active but this was about right:
Download Speed: 670 kbps
Upload Speed: 430 kbps
5
Download Speed: 2.75 Mbps
Upload Speed: 920 kbps
which is about standard for my area.
I like how it keeps trying the download test until it gets one that lasts for more than 8secs, then halves that to use as it's upload test.
Hopefully that means you can compare apples with apples despite your broadband type of connection.
I am saddened by my woeful speeds compared to others listed above - damn you all !

Hey mta I'm not much better down here in the Grampians: download: 4.5mbps upload: 1.5mbps

Still I suppose it's reasonable considering it's peak time (usually busy between 4.00pm & 8.00pm) and I'm only using Telstra 3G mobile broadband.

Think I'll try again around 11.00pm to midnight.

I had a 100mbps line in my dorm room a few years ago at RIT, some rooms had gigabit lines (serviced with symetrical gigabit speeds)

That's the life, in so far as internet speeds go. Cablevision (my provider at home) is actually pretty decent, thankfully neither comcast nor TWC operate at all to my knowledge on Long Island

Why I thank you mister Mta :)

I assume most you have read this or seen this

What would you do what that speeeeeed ?

she can get a HD DVD in 2 seconds, it takes me 35 minutes to download through iTunes the SD versions of Walking Dead and Game of Thrones when they come out :blink:

10

Download: 30.3Mbps

Upload: 17.99Mbps

Paying for 25/25 service, but typical that actual upload speed is lower outside the ISP's network.

Not sure but think this comes close :blink: .

SpeedOf.Me:

-Download: ~22Mbps

-Upload: ~2Mbps

-Ping: 7ms

Speedtest.net:

-Download: ~100Mbps

-Upload: ~10Mbps

-Ping: 6-7ms

weird..

I've always seen different results between the numerous speed test sites. Not uncommon.

6Gb/s is only 0.75GB/s :(

Upload: 17.99Mbps

I'm paying for 20/5 service, it's literally costing me about $3 more than the slower connection speed I previously had. However since 5 mbps upload rate isn't available in my area yet it's limited to 0.895 mbps. :angry: Most people on my ISP don't have a 20 mbps download rate for my area, they had to come to the house and install fiber optic lines before I could upgrade.

17

It's only $5 or $6 more per month to upgrade my 20/5 connection to a 50/25 :)

Tested out very visually attractive and looks good., My upload speed is deplorable, but of no real interest. It is the download speed that is important to me.
