Title: Which is the best internet speed test available and would it test anywhere
Post by: jraju on April 23, 2013, 07:27:54 pm

Hi, Internet speed tests site are too many and they give different speed, both upload and download speed. If different sites show different speed to your area , then one is at a confusing  as to what the real speed his pc in both ways. If the speed test is near to your area, will it give a correct speed? or it does not matter. Secondly, Why this different data in different sites. Please let me know the best site, and safer one. Is the speed test different from band width? Pl a little more explaiing

I like speedtest.net and also, as a backup, speakeasy.net/speedtest.  Have fun!

Shane has some nice free tools for measuring the speed of your internet connection. (at www.PcWinTech.com) Remember, the download/upload speed is as fast as the weakest/slowest link in the (internet-)chain.

Your tool shows network traffic send spped and rec speed , which is around 33 kb per second. Is that the speed provided by the service provider or the download provider. Because, when i downloaded from some other sites, it shows about 67 kb per second. Is the download speed is determined by the downloader server or the service provider. Is the speed normal. I have opted for unlimited downloads, and my speed test at my service provider, a little 300 km away from my area shows 60 to 70 kbs. I am asking because, the download traffic, that is person who would have opted the same file as download, would reduce the speed at my end. A little clarification please , shane, sir

It just shows what your system is currently using. the speedtest.net will max your connection showing what you can handle. There isnt any test that tests other ISP's. From the speeds you posted I would say it is time to find a better ISP lol

Hi, Thank you for the reply. But i want to know, whether the download allowing site is only allowing this speed for my download. In some other sites, it gives 70 kb for low end unlimited download plans.

70kb is very slow.

You want at least a 3mb (300 kb) plan or better.
