Rep Power: 10  |  Broadband speed test I have seen a lot of members using different speed tests and they wonder why they get different results every time and some of them actually see half the speed they are supposed to get in the speed tests and some show double the speed and so on. This is the speed test I have always used and is considered to be the most reliable utility by isps in UK ... infact this is the only speed test which you can use as evidence in a court of law in UK. I have uploaded the file for you and it is a exe file whic you will need to install before you can use it. Give it a try and trust me you would never use anything else. There are two types of tests you can choose from once it is installed quick test and extended test and the extended test will take about 3-5 mins depending on your connection speed. Please do leave your comments on how you liked it or disliked it.  |

Rep Power: 10 | Thats a quick test... run an extended test and you will get a lot more information It will take a bit of time but its worth the wait and you can get a good idea of your ISP's network as well not just the speed you get as an end user and even speed is conducted using different locations across the globe and you can sort of get a general idea of what your isp is upto.Even in this quick test pic if you scroll down on your result and check out no5 it shows your speed using the nearest server. Its good to run an extended test before you come to a conclusion. Last edited by Admin; 10-14-08 at 03:01 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

Rep Power: 10 | I dont think many people are using this utility. I have been using it for years now and would never use anything else to check the health of my broadband connection. |

Rep Power: 7 | For your plan, there is no single advertised upload/download speed. You can enter 2000 Kbps download and 1000 Kbps upload if you wish. The advertised speed only the speed that you wish to compare, it will not influence the results. Give any value you feel ok, your results will be compared to this value. |
