Broadband speed test - Internet speed test

On this site you can test your broadband speed. We recommend you to lower or stop all other internet activities during the broadband speed test. In other cases the results are less precise.

Outputs:

• download - what speed are data from the testing server downloaded by
• upload - what speed are data to the testing server uploaded by
• web ping - the time needed to send and receive a small amount of data, quite similar to regular ping, but tested by a TCP packet through the HTTP service
• stability - counts the stability of the line by comparing the time of the worst and the best subtest

Do you know how fast your internet connection is? The speed of adsl is generally relatively high, but is it really as fast as you pay? What is for example the speed of your connection to U.S. or France? The adsl test on the website netmeter.co.uk can provide a quick and accurate answer to this question.

It is extremely important to regularly test the speed of your adsl connection. This is like an equivalent of a regular inspection of your car. When the speed of your connection becomes suddenly lower, there is a big chance that you will not even notice it and the connection can remain slowed down by some malware or spyware. There can be also some "uninvited guest" connected to your wi-fi who uses the operational speed of your adsl.

Another practical benefit of measuring the speed of connection is an information about the period during which you can download certain amount of data. If you know the speed of your adsl, you also know exactly how long you will download any file (in case you know its size).

The principle of measurement is very simple. Just choose a country to which you would like to measure the speed. Maybe you have already tried few speed tests, but not the one from adsl which measures the data to the particular country. It is nice when a speed test gives you some information, but is it the same to Canada? Or to Ireland? Internet is a very large structure and the values can be sometimes different. Our speed test gives you the exact speed of your adsl connection to the country you choose. During the speed test, you should not burden the connection with any action. For example, if you download some data or watch videos on the Internet, the results will not be exact.

You will also probably need to run the speed test when you decide to watch the internet television. Only the existence of adsl does not automatically mean that you can afford this service. For such a thing, the speed of your Internet connection should be at least 800 kB/s.

In general, the speed test works as a very important diagnose of your connection, same as the speed test for a car or any other vehicle.

We recommend to run the speed test at least once or twice a week. Try to compare the results and in case of some bigger variance, you should contact your Internet provider.
