Ever wondered what broadband line speed you are really getting? Are you paying for 8Mb, but you think you may actually only be getting 4Mb?

If so, then you can use the free Broadband Speed Test below to find your true broadband speed.

How It Works

Start the test by clicking the big button in the center of the page. The test first starts by downloading a file and measures how long it takes. After the download is finished the speed checker tries to upload a file and measures your upload speed.

If you want to get accurate results then you should not use your internet connection for any other applications once the speed checker is running, and run the test a few times so that an average speed can be calculated.

The broadband speed is measured in Kbps (kilobits per second). Approximately 1000 Kbps is 1Mb/s.

Connected Internet Broadband Speed Test

If you are having connection problems it could be down to packet loss and other internet connection issues, so you should also do a Ping Test which will grade your ISP adn provide details of packet loss percentage

So how were your Broadband Speed Test Results? Don’t forget to leave a comment below to share your results so that other readers can see which ISPs are good and which aren’t.

  3. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
