Bandwidth Speed Test


Do you want to know the speed of your internet?  There are some websites that do bandwidth speed test such as these websites below.  One thing I like about them is they test both the download and upload speed.  Usually the other websites test only the download speed.  If your computer is connected to a network you have to make sure that the other computers are not accessing the internet except the one that you will use for testing so you can get an accurate result.

2. www.speakeasy.net
3. www.dslreports.com
4. www.bandwidth.com

By knowing the speed you can verify if you are getting the right bandwidth that you applied for from your ISP.  If the test result is close to what you applied for then there is no problem with that. However if the margin is too wide perhaps you might want to check where the problem is coming at.  Start in this sequence computer -> router -> modem -> ISP.
