Learn how to correctly measure the speed of your Internet connection. What resources can you use to correctly check the Internet, what parameters should you look at, and how to determine whether the result in front of you is good.

I’ll definitely tell you about Megabit and Megabyte, they are often confused, and I’ll also tell you what ping is and why people often get kicked out of online games because of it. In general, I will show in detail how to find out the Internet speed on a computer.

Introduction

Hello everyone, today I decided to write an article that will allow me to qualitatively analyze the speed of my Internet connection. You can find a lot of materials from different sources, where one way or another it is shown where to go and what numbers to look at. But now you have repeated all this on your computer, you have seen numbers, large or small, with different units of measurement.

You sit, look at them, sometimes even rejoice, but what do these data mean? It was displayed to you, for example: Input - 10 Mbit/s, Output - 5 Mbit/s, Ping - 14 and what next, is this good for you, or if you honestly look at it, then you will say that these numbers have nothing to do with you do not speak? And in most cases, everything is exactly like this, we see the result, but we cannot analyze it, because we do not know what each direction means.

Funny conversation with a friend

In general, I decided to write an article on this topic just yesterday. I was talking with an acquaintance, and it so happened that we started talking about the Internet. He asks me - Vanek, what is your Internet speed? Well, I said, I pay 300 rubles for 8 MB/s. Without hesitation, the acquaintance replied, well, what bullshit is your Internet, I have 30 Mbit/s for only 250 rubles. This whole thing was said with such a smart look, I couldn’t restrain myself, I laughed, when I walked away, I immediately thought - this is the topic for a new article.

Users who understand have already figured out what the catch is, and for those who didn’t catch it, read the article carefully and absorb useful knowledge. For probably another 15 minutes I had to explain to my friend that he made a little mistake with his choice of the Internet and the money he pays can be spent more wisely armed good internet. I won’t mutter too much, let’s move on.

How is Internet speed measured?

In order to understand and correctly analyze the speed of Internet connections, you need to have a good understanding of the units of measurement that you will actually use to measure your Internet in the future.

This is very important, it’s a must, well, it’s absolutely necessary, it’s necessary, there’s simply no other way. After all, when you come to the store, you tell the seller how many kilograms of apples to sell you, or you yourself calculate how many kilograms of potatoes you need to buy so that there is enough for at least a week for the whole family, you even tritely calculate how many grams of candy to buy so that you have enough money to pay. Now let's get down to business.

When you start wondering about the Internet, you come across two units of measurement - Megabits and Megabytes. Let's go in order.

The MEGA prefix is ​​a million-dollar prefix, you don’t need to pay attention to them Special attention, this is just a reduction, replacing the number 10 to the 6th power. Once again, we don’t look at the console, we follow everything that is written next, namely, we look at the BITS and BYTES. (megaBIT, mega BYTE)

A bit is the smallest unit of measurement used in calculations in the “computer world”, think of a bit as one unit - 1

A byte is naturally also a unit of measurement, but it contains 8 bits, which means a byte is eight times larger than a bit.

Once again, a BYTE is 8 bits.

Examples. When testing Internet speed, you may be shown:

30 Mbit/s or 3.75 MB/s, where you should understand that these are two same numbers. That is, when you took measurements and were shown the result in megabits, you can safely divide it by 8 and get real result. In our example, 30 Mbit/8= 3.75 MB

You haven’t forgotten about my conversation with a friend, now you can go back and see why I didn’t agree with my friend, what was his mistake? Look, count, it will be useful for consolidation.

In addition to units of measurement, for proper analysis of an Internet connection, you need to know that there are two types of connections. Incoming and outgoing.

It’s not at all difficult, but you have to read it once just to know. Incoming information is everything that you download to your computer, watch online, listen to music, in general, everything that you view on the Internet will be called incoming traffic.

But when your computer transmits information, let’s say you play an online game and from your computer to mandatory small packets of information are sent out that control actions in the game or, for example, you upload a photo to a social network, all this will be considered outgoing traffic.

Remember:

All we take on the Internet is incoming traffic.

Everything we send to the Internet is outgoing traffic.

Now a little advice: when analyzing, you can not pay attention to outgoing traffic. Why? Because when good performance incoming internet Outgoing connections will automatically be good. They come in a complex, but you need to remember that the speed of incoming information is always higher, sometimes even twice as high, but this is not scary.

When measuring your Internet speed, you will see pictures like this and this is normal:

I think the numbers are more or less understood and now you can easily analyze the speed of your Internet connection as accurately as possible. Although it’s probably worth making a small digression to suggest what speed will be enough and for what purpose.

What kind of internet do I need for stable work?

Here is a table that will serve as a hint to this question, and if you don’t understand, then write in the comments to this article, as soon as I see it, I’ll immediately write the answer.

Task	Internet connection speed	Classification
Viewing text and graphic information	10 Mbit/s or 1 MB/s	Slow Internet
Look online films, listen to music, play, chat on Skype	From 20 Mbit/s to 40 Mbit/s	Good, multitasking.
Working on the Internet, downloading large amounts of information, high-quality videos and other high loads	From 80 Mbit/s and above	Universal for all occasions

I often hear the question, but with the Internet like this, how long will it take me to download a movie? To be honest, such questions irritate me a little, if you know how to count, then why not do it, this is forgivable for adults and elderly people of the previous generation, but now young people should be educated and instantly give out the information of interest, so in the article I won’t even write about this, but just in case, I will show the principle of calculation in the video, so after finishing reading the text, do not be lazy to spend a couple of minutes watching the video.

And besides this, you should always remember that a virus can get onto your computer and the speed will be reduced several times,

Where can you test your Internet speed?

As I said at the beginning, there are a lot of different resources that provide the opportunity, so to speak, to weigh and measure your Internet. But as practice shows, only a few of them work stably and can provide correct information and not fantasize...

yandex.ru/internet- for me this is the best resource for measuring the Internet.

speedtest.net/ru/ is a mega popular site for determining speed, but it works fine for me only after the second scan. After the first time it doesn't show real numbers, so I immediately run it a second time and get a normal, real result.

2ip.ru/speed/— the site can do a lot of useful things, I like it, but unfortunately it often cheats with Internet measurements, but it gives some useful information, by whom it is served, which provider and where the service site is located.

By the way, I took examples of pictures from these sites, in the video I will show each site separately, and you yourself will choose which one you like best. When you analyze the results, you may notice another interesting parameter - Ping.

What is ping on the Internet?

This parameter can often be heard, especially among those who like to play Online Games. These types of people, to be honest, are a little obsessed with pings during the game.

Even 7-8 years ago I had a case when I entered the game myself, as I remember now - it was Counter-Strike. Well, I came in, I’m playing, I hear a lot of fuss, shouting and discontent, and in every sentence they shout, he has a high ping, let’s kick him out. And in fact, they kicked me out of the room by general vote; of course, I was not very happy, but there was nothing to do.

That day I spent several hours studying the cursed word ping at that time.

But in fact, the essence of its work is very simple, I will not load your heads, but will only say that this is also a unit of measurement that shows the speed of data transfer from your computer to the server.

Now, quite simply, you entered the game, at the moment when you perform some action for you, the character simply makes a movement. And from the technical side, in order to even simply move your character from place, the computer must send a command (packet of files) to the server, and the time during which these files will fly to the server, be processed there and return back will be called ping.

In fact, Ping is the speed of data exchange between the computer and the server.

What does ping depend on, and how can it be lowered?

Everything here is quite simple, the first and main reason is the physical distance between your computer and the game server. For example, you play in Moscow, and the server is in China, the distance is very long and therefore it takes more time to transmit data packets. And at this moment we are swearing that the game is lagging.

Naturally, the ping will be affected by the speed of your Internet; the faster the connection, the lower the ping will be. Next, you need to understand that ping can increase if the transmission line is overloaded, that is, your provider serves not just your apartment, but an entire house or street, and if everyone decides to surf the Internet at the same time, then there will be a little chaos.

Rational use of traffic is when you are sitting at home on the Internet via Wi-Fi, playing, and at the same time your parents are watching TV series through the same Wi-Fi, your little sister is sitting on a tablet in the next room and playing her games. How more people simultaneously use an access point, the lower the Internet speed becomes and the ping increases accordingly.

There are three ways to lower your ping:

• Change provider or tariff plan to more powerful
• Make some changes to the operating system registry (the improvement is not significant)
• Loading specialized software. (we immediately throw this method out of our heads and use the first two)

Have you figured out what's what? I think you all understood a long time ago, so I’ll wrap it up. Below you can find a video to reinforce the material you have read, don’t be lazy, you have to watch it.

Watch video: How to find out the Internet speed on your computer?

Well, have you finished reading? Then we go below and write our comment on this article, otherwise how will I know whether you have read it at all or not? See you soon, bye friends.

When purchasing the services of a provider, we hope that the speed of the Internet connection will be exactly as specified in the contract. Well, or almost like that. However, in practice, it extremely rarely corresponds to the numbers on paper, because it is influenced by a lot of factors - from network congestion to the state of the client device - a computer, smartphone, tablet or Smart TV. In addition, in the contract the provider indicates the maximum, not the actual connection speed. However, if the latter is constantly and much lower than the first, the quality of the service can be questioned.

To control the work of the provider and simply be aware of the real Internet speed, you need to know how to determine it. Thankfully there is a reason for this a large number of special software and free web services that we will get acquainted with today. But let's start with what capabilities the operating room has in this regard. Windows system. We will also find out how to get the most reliable result.

Built-in Windows capabilities

The easiest and fastest way to view your current Internet connection speed is in the task manager on the “Performance” tab. If the network is lightly loaded, the graph in the “Bandwidth” window will be low; if it is strong, the window will be filled almost completely, and the speed shown in the upper right corner will be closer to what is specified in the contract with the provider. This should be normal. If, when the network is heavily loaded, the speed remains low, it means that there is an obstacle somewhere. But where is it - yours or his?

To find out the maximum achievable (in theory) Internet speed within a specific connection type, open the “Network Connections” folder and select the “Status” section in the context menu of your network.

The necessary information is contained on the “General” tab.

The actual speed is usually 2-3 times lower than the maximum. By the way, when transmitting data via Wi-Fi and cable, it can differ significantly.

Let's say you have determined that the Internet on your computer should be faster. The next task is to find out who is to blame for the slowdown - your devices or the provider.

How to check your Internet connection speed manually

To get the most reliable result, you need to check the Internet speed on the computer to which you are connected. network cable provider. If it is not possible to insert the cable directly into the computer, for example, if it only supports wireless connections or binds the connection to the router’s MAC address, disconnect all other devices from the Internet during the test.

• Prepare a 1 GB file and select any cloud web service to which you will upload it, for example, Yandex Drive or Google Drive. It is important that the service does not limit the speed of uploading and downloading content.
• Close all programs that use the network and the Internet to relieve the channel as much as possible.
• Disable VPN clients and proxy servers if they are not required to establish access to the global network.
• Record the time and start uploading the file to the cloud server. Note the download completion time.
• Under time control, download the file back to your PC.

Knowing the file size in megabytes and the number of seconds spent on its transfer, you can easily calculate the Internet speed in Mbps. If it is close to that specified in the contract, it means that the provider will fulfill its obligations to you, and the reason for the slowdown is in your devices. If not, then it's the other way around.

For those of you who don't want to do the math, you can test your Internet speeds using the methods discussed below. For reliability, we recommend performing the check several times within an hour.

Web services

Testing your Internet speed using the 2ip service is as easy as shelling pears: click the “Test” button and wait 1-2 minutes.

In addition to ping indicators, as well as incoming and outgoing speeds, 2ip allows you to find out:

• Average Internet speeds in your city.
• Average speed indicators among subscribers of your provider.
• The best tests for all providers for the current day.
• The total number of measurements among all providers.

This is a kind of benchmark. Below on the page is a table of the last ten measurements.

By the way, as of the date of the audit, none of the largest leaders in the provider services market in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan - Rostelecom, ByFly, Ukrtelecom, Kazakhtelecom, MTS, Beeline, Akado, Yota, Dom.ru, Citylink and TTK record holder. The first places were taken by small and not very well-known companies.

And further. If you have something to tell other users about the services of your Internet provider, you can leave a review about it on the site.

- another simple free service of similar purpose. To start the scan, just click the “Start” button. The result will appear on the screen in a couple of minutes.

By the way, if you register for Speedtest (this is also free), you will be able to save the test results in your account and share links to them with other users.

In addition to the web service, accessible online through a browser from any device, SpeedTest exists as an application for desktop (Windows, Mac OS X) and mobile (iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Amazon) platforms.

Yandex.Internetometer

The Yandex.Internetometer service determines the speed of incoming and outgoing connections without ping. However, in addition to this it shows detailed information about your Internet connection, operating system and the browser in which you ran the scan. It’s just a pity that there are no benchmarks or opportunities to save test results here.

To start the test, click the “Measure” button. The result, like its competitors, appears on the screen in 1-2 minutes.

The set of functions is very similar to the service of the same name in the “ru” domain and differs from it only in the design style. In addition to the Internet speed testing button, this resource contains a rating of Ukrainian providers and indicators of the last 20 checks.

For users with Russian IPs, the 2ip.ua website opens in Russian, for residents of Ukraine - in Ukrainian.

To start testing, click the “Test” button. The result will be displayed after the same time as the others.

Banki.ru

Banki.ru uses 2 tests provided by the telecommunications company Wellink. One of them is a traditional test of response time (ping), incoming and outgoing Internet speeds, the second is a test of the quality of online video viewing. Based on the testing results, the service displays brief description your connection: how quickly a new movie series will open, how long it will take to download an album and upload a photo to a social network, what video quality is optimal for your connection, whether the picture will freeze when watching videos through a browser.

Using the service on Banki.ru is no different from others.

Free programs to check Internet speed on PC and mobile devices

If you use the above services several times in a row, you will notice that the Internet throughput indicators will always be different. This is normal, but not entirely informative, especially when the connection is intermittent. Applications, unlike web services, allow you to monitor network traffic continuously. And this is their main advantage.

NetTraffic for Windows

The utility, available in installation and portable versions, is a small window that constantly hangs in the corner of the screen, where the connection speed is displayed in real time.

In addition to current data, it collects traffic statistics for time periods specified by the user. Can monitor multiple network interfaces simultaneously.

TMeter for Windows

is a more advanced Internet traffic monitoring tool than the previous utility, but also very easy to understand and use. In addition to speed parameters, it collects statistics about the IP addresses of visited resources, ports, protocols, etc.

Tmeter has a built-in firewall and traffic distributor (traffic shaper) between devices local network. These functions become available if the program is running on a computer that is used as a gateway to connect other devices to the Internet.

The utility is designed to monitor the entire flow of information passing through network adapter, including data transfer rates. Initially it is in English, but a localizer has been released for it (available on the download page), which you just need to copy to the folder with the executable file or program archive.

NetworkTrafficView works without installation and does not require any special settings. Connection data is displayed in table form in the main and only window of the utility.

Internet speed test for Android

The Internet Speed ​​Test mobile application is not only stylishly designed, but also very functional. In addition to collecting the main speed characteristics of Wi-Fi and 2/3G networks, it displays the delay time of sending packets, allows you to select a test server (its availability and distance affect the performance), accumulates statistics and publishes test results on social networks.

The application is also convenient because it supports even very old versions of Android.

Meteor - speed test for Android

Meteor - speed test - one of the few mobile applications, which received the highest user rating - 4.8 points. It not only shows the real speed of the Internet connection, but also determines how fast popular network programs will work with the current connection quality. Among such programs are clients social networks, browsers, Gmail, YouTube, Skype, WhatsApp, Wase navigator, Google Maps, Uber taxi service, etc. A total of 16 different applications.

Other advantages of Meteor are that it supports all types of network connections, including 4G, and does not contain advertising.

Internet providers boast maximum speeds data transfer, but what is the actual situation? The speed depends on many factors: time and day of the week, communication channel congestion, technical condition of servers, condition of communication lines and even the weather. When purchasing a certain package of services, you want to be sure that the money is not being paid in vain, and that the Internet speed corresponds to the advertised speed.

We will check using special services on the network, because this is the most convenient, accessible and accurate way to determine Internet speed. Speed ​​is measured from the computer to the server on which the service runs. Accordingly, indicators from different services will differ.

Measured:

• incoming speed, i.e. the one from which we download from the Internet
• outgoing – speed of information transfer, i.e. when data is transferred from our computer, for example when you send an email or file, or a torrent is opened.

As a rule, these two indicators differ, for me - up to three times, depending on what to test. The outgoing speed is usually lower because it is used less often.

Data transfer speed is measured in kilobits or megabits. One byte contains 8 bits plus a couple of service bits. This means that with a result of 80 Mbps, the actual speed is 8 MB per second. Each speed test consumes about 10-30 megabytes of traffic!

Ookla SpeedTest

Today's best service, designed for testing Internet connection throughput. Accurately determines the maximum possible speed for your computer on this moment.

To start the test, click the big “START” button. The service will determine the optimal server and begin transmitting data. As testing progresses, it displays current speed. It usually grows as the process progresses.

Please note what indicators are determined:

Very exemplary good values for wired internet:

• “download” - incoming speed: 30-70 Mbit/s
• “download” - outgoing speed: 10-30 Mbit/s
• "PING" : 3-30 ms

For mobile 3G/4G Internet:

• incoming: 5-10 Mbit/s
• outgoing: 1-2 Mbit/s
• PING: 15-50 ms

PING is an important indicator; it is the time it takes to establish a connection. The closer the server, the less value and so much the better.

SpeedTest has servers all over the globe, so first your location and the closest server are determined, then the test data is transmitted. The measured speed is the maximum possible for your computer at a given time. This is achieved due to the fact that the server for data exchange is located in your city or region, and the closer the server is to the computer, the higher the speed. But you can choose any server!

Thus, it turns out that we will get a speed that is not achievable for most sites on the Internet, well, because their servers are located further away. Thanks to this “trick” I got the best results. The obtained figures can be compared with those declared by the provider, but the actual speed on the Internet is still lower.

Speedtest has applications for smartphones:

After testing, a permanent link to the results and a picture is provided that you can show off on social networks

If you check the speed several times in a row, you will notice that it is different each time. It depends on the load of the provider and server. Therefore, I recommend running the test several times and calculating the average speed, this will be more correct.

After registration, the history of all checks becomes available and the ability to compare them, which is also important. You can run a test from time to time and then look at the history for the year, and in a graphical representation. It will immediately become clear where your provider is developing (or, on the contrary, it will turn out that it’s time to change it).

SpeedTest app for Windows 10

Using the application, you can find out what the quality of your Internet connection is.

Communication quality differs from speed. For example, a file may be downloading at breakneck speed and suddenly the download is interrupted and you have to start over. After finishing the test in the application, you need to click on the results:

To determine the quality of communication, the following indicators are used:

• Ripple (jitter) - phase pulsation, the smaller the better. Up to 5 ms.
• Packet loss - what percentage of data was lost and had to be resent. Should be 0%

Internet meter from Yandex

Unlike Speedtest, the service from Yandex measures the data transfer speed between your laptop and its servers, only its own. It turns out that the speed here should be lower than in the speed test, but it is closer to reality for working on the RUNet.

Click the “Measure” button and wait a while while Yandex tests. The time will depend on the speed itself, and if it is too low, or there are communication interruptions, the test may freeze or fail.

Yandex tests as follows: downloads and uploads a test file several times, and then calculates the average value. For better accuracy, strong dips are cut off. However, after each re-check I received different results with an error of 10-20%, which in principle is quite normal, because... Speed ​​is not a constant indicator and fluctuates all the time. This was during the day, and then I tested early in the morning and the result jumped with a difference of up to 50%.

Yandex Internet Meter also shows the IP address and detailed technical information about the browser.

Service 2ip.ru

I have been using this wonderful service for a long time. The 2ip.ru service will also show and give full information at this address, will check any of your files for viruses, tell you a lot of interesting things about any site on the Internet (IP, site engine, presence of viruses, distance to the site, its accessibility, etc.).

2ip determines your provider, the optimal server and checks the speed between you and this server, just like SpeedTest.Net, but 2ip has fewer servers, so the ping will be higher. But there are statistics on average speed in your city and to your provider. With each repeated test, my speed changed slightly - within 10%.

Another service that runs on HTML5, without Flash or Java, just like the previous services.

OpenSpeedTest will help you measure bandwidth between Western servers. You will notice that the pings have become even higher.

Works stably, averages the obtained values, fairly predictable and repeatable results.

The service is not of particular interest for testing high-speed Internet, but it may be of interest to those who use a modem or other not very fast internet. The results show average results for various network interfaces (modem, coaxial cable, Ethernet, Wi-Fi) and yours for comparison.

Here the measurement accuracy is expressed as a percentage. It is calculated based on whether the speed during data transfer was stable or fluctuated greatly. The more stable, the higher the accuracy.

I will separately note the testing method using . To do this, take a torrent with a large number of seeds and look at the real data reception speed.

For everyone, before testing it is advisable to:

• Close all programs except the browser (especially those that can download something) and leave only one tab of the speed testing service active
• Wait until the end or stop all downloads in your browser!
• Check if any program is using the network. To do this, open the “Task Manager” using the “Ctrl+Shift+Esc” buttons, go to the “Performance” tab and click on the network adapter. If there are several of them, then there will be only one with data:

See how much data was sent and transmitted during last minute. If no program uses the network, then there should be a few to tens, a maximum of a hundred kbit/s. Otherwise, reboot and check again.

Let's sum it up

Finally, I want to say that not a single service was able to determine the maximum possible indicators for my Internet connection. I say this because when downloading from torrents, my speed reaches 10 MB/s. This happens thanks to downloading from various sources, scattered around the world, at the same time (this is how torrents work). And the services work with only one server, albeit a powerful one. Therefore, I can recommend the uTorrent program as a tester, but it works on active distributions where there are dozens of seeders.

Do not forget that low speed may be due to, or due to a weak Wi-Fi adapter. Please write your results in the comments and don’t forget to post the article on social networks.

Video review:

Want to know how fast your Internet connection actually is? Measure your Internet connection speed and see how fast your download, upload, ping and jitter are.

Numbers that don't lie

You pay the provider for an Internet connection, which must meet certain technical parameters within the selected tariff. These include not only download speed, but also transfer speed along with latency or response (ping).

In practice, however, the measured values ​​may differ significantly from those shown on paper. Sometimes long term, sometimes only for a short period of time due to technical problem or aggregation - the sharing of the potential of an Internet connection between several users. Speedtest will help identify the differences and show you what your connection is really like. And all this within a few tens of seconds and without complex settings.

How does Internet speed measurement work?

From the user's point of view, everything is simple. Directly in the web browser, click on the measurement button and wait. Before you run speedtest, it is important to turn off all tasks, applications and devices that might be using your Internet connection. This would affect the results and you would not learn anything, or the conclusions would not have the required accuracy.

The technical solutions and background of speedtest themselves are complex, but in a very simplistic way, the test simulates the situation where you are uploading and downloading data. Based on how quickly these transfers occur, measured values ​​are calculated. You can test the speed of up to thirty test servers located in different geographical locations. What data will you find out?

Connection speed under magnifying glass

The test results will provide a number of key values ​​by which you can evaluate your connection and immediately choose, for example, a different plan or a different provider. The main values ​​include:

Download

Download will show you the download speed of your device in Mbit/s. The higher the value, the better, because the faster the loading time, the less time you will have to wait until you load a web page, or an attachment for example Email. Internet connections at home are usually asymmetrical. This means that the download speed for the user is faster than the upload speed.

Upload

The specified upload speed is another main value that the test results will show. Upload again expresses in Mbps how quickly you can upload Internet data on a given connection. The higher the number, as with download, the better. Fast loading is important, for example for cloud backup or video streaming. The higher the value, the faster you can upload data from the device to the Internet.

Ping

The three main parameters end with a response (ping) in milliseconds. On the contrary, the lower, the better. Its importance is especially important for online game players who need a fast response from the server when playing so that there is no delay in the game. A relatively fast ping can be considered anything below 40 ms, and a really good result is everything in the range of 0-10 ms.

Jitter

Part of the results is jitter. It expresses the fluctuations in ping value in milliseconds, and therefore the stability of the connection. The result should be as low as possible. The higher the jitter value in the test, the less stable the Internet connection.

Speedtest results will show in detail how many MB of data you can theoretically download and upload in a certain period of time. You will easily find whether the specified data volume and thus the speed is sufficient. It's useful, isn't it? Blog and website owners have the opportunity to embed a connection speed test for free directly on the site via an embed code.

Check your connection regularly

Connecting to the Internet is certainly not the case when what happened yesterday still works today. Don't forget to repeat the speedtest from time to time or use it whenever you suspect problems with your connection speed.

He will respond to you immediately and you have the opportunity to decide what your next steps will be. In any case, there is no point in wasting time with a slow Internet nowadays.

Speed ​​Test - Check Internet Speed ​​/ Speed ​​TEST

Here you can test the speed of your DSL connection easily, quickly and for free. Click on "Start Test" below. The test usually starts within a few seconds.

DSL Speedtest / Internet Test / Speed ​​TEST

For DSL Speed ​​Test Please note the following: the result is not always accurate, speed test always depends on various factors. Therefore, the measurement should be interpreted as a guide only.

Please leave other Internet applications closed during the measurement, otherwise the speed test result will be inaccurate.

How to measure this?

During Internet speed testing, a test file is downloaded in your browser. After about 10 seconds we check how much data has been downloaded. With reference to the download time of the data, the approximate DSL (internet) speed can be determined. It is important that the server that contains the test file must be fast. We rely on a separate high-performance server, so the result is as accurate as possible.

Internet Speed ​​Test / DSL Speed ​​TEST

Click on “Start Test” in the bottom field to initiate the speed test. Make sure that no other applications will be accessing the Internet during the Internet speed test.

How to start an Internet traffic speed test:

Click on the “Start Test” button in the field above to begin the Internet speed test. The test will then begin and will usually take a few seconds to complete. Once the speed test is completed, you will be given the option to test again on another server that is closer to your current location. What do you need to use the speed test?:

You do not need to install any software to use the site, and it works entirely in your browser on Windows, Mac OS X, Android and Linux. A slight difference of 10-15% is normal because the speed test may not be accurate (depending on the server load you may get different cgblntcn results). If the difference exceeds 30%, then measure the speed a little later or try checking on another server (link above). Some Internet service providers offer their own speed tests.

We do not take any responsibility for the results of the Internet Speed ​​Test, as the accuracy of the test depends on many factors.

DSL Speed ​​Test

DSL Speed ​​Test measures the data transmission performance of your own DSL provider. Both upload and download data are checked and compared to other check values ​​from that DSL provider. The DSL speed test provides important information about whether your own provider's quality is up to par with your DSL contract. It can also provide information about whether your own network is experiencing significant fluctuations.

How does the DSL Speed ​​Test work in detail?

Speed ​​Test is a program available on a web server. When running a speed test using a web browser, the web server first transfers one or more files to the user's browser cache. If multiple files are used, they are designed with different sizes and different compression. When transferring data, perhaps the first measurement of download speed. Subsequently, the data is transmitted back to the web server, so that the effectiveness of the downloaded files can be determined. As a rule, the data transfer speed of uploads is significantly worse than that of downloads.

What limitations should be considered in the measurement results?

However, it should be noted that the results of one measurement are not very significant. In parallel with the current measurement, other processes are running on the network that can affect the speed. Therefore, you should ensure that there are no more data transfers on the network during the test. In particular, only one computer on the network should be active. Only one instance of the browser should be running and other activities should be avoided on a given computer. It is also necessary to ensure that neither the antivirus nor any other program is updated at the time of testing. When all these things are taken into account there are still a few measurements to be taken in different time in order to discover the universal meaning for DSL speed test results. If you have taken several measurements, you can easily determine the average of the measurements as the actual transmission speed for your DSL connection.

DSL and Wi-Fi(WLAN)

The speed test has a big swing if you use Wi-Fi for it. Because an indoor WLAN may be affected by various factors in its performance capabilities. Often located in cities, many wireless networks conflict with each other, especially when they must operate on the same frequency. If you want to have good and meaningful results for your DSL speed test, you should try to connect via a wired network to the Internet. If necessary, you will have success even if you can make sure that your own wireless network has a frequency that is different from all others wireless networks in this district.
