Find out the speed of my internet connection. Why speed tests have different results

Many computer users are often faced with low internet speeds. If you have connected a high-speed Internet, and it repeatedly or constantly freezes, then the first reason for this may be the provider. Also viruses, browser, and computer problems can affect internet speed.

Many computer users are often faced with low internet speeds. If you have connected a high-speed Internet, and it repeatedly or constantly freezes, then the first reason for this may be the provider. Also viruses, browser, and computer problems can affect internet speed.

Before deciding what to do to increase the speed of the Internet, you first need to find out its speed at the moment. In this article, we will tell you how to check the Internet speed on a computer with windows 7, and with other operating systems, so that later you can fully express your claim to the provider.

Checking internet speed through Speedtest.net

The most convenient and more accurate site for checking Internet speed is considered speedtest.net

But before you start checking, find out the Internet speed declared by the provider, most often they indicate the speed "up", for example, up to 100 Mb / sec. It should be said right away that this is a lie, you rarely find an Internet that can reach a speed of 100 MG / s, (although Rostelecom gives out even more than the speed declared under the contract.

In this case, the declared speed is 50Mb, and as you can see in the screenshot, the download speed is really higher), but our task will be to check if there is at least 2-3 Mb / s, which will be enough to play music or video more or less quickly.

  • 1 ... We go to the site using the link speedtest.net.
  • 2 ... Click on the button "Start Test" or if you have an English version of the site "Begin Test".
  • 3 ... After pressing the button, the Internet speed test will start. You do not need to do anything, the program will check itself. It is advisable to disable all processes that load the Internet, as they can affect the bottom line. The verification process will take from a few seconds to a minute.
  • 4 ... In the end, you will see ping (Ping), (a little about Ping itself. Ping (from the English ping) refers to the response time of an Internet connection: namely, how quickly a client computer, having sent a request, receives a response from the server. Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms, ms), and of course, the less Ping, the better ... The ideal value is up to 40 ms, higher is already a bad Ping, which leads to "Freezing" of network applications). Download Speed ​​and Upload Speed. The main thing is to find out the speed of receiving, if it is 5 Mb / second, then this speed should be enough. Our task is to compare the real speed of the Internet with the declared provider. If they do not match even closely, then you need to urgently contact your provider, or change it to another one.

Checking internet speed via 2ip.ru

If you want to fully verify the speed of your Internet, you can use another site 2ip... But be warned, both sites featured may be slightly wrong, so count the average after checking the speed.

  • 1 ... Go to the site using the link.
  • 2 ... On the left side of the screen, click on the "Internet connection speed" button in the "Tests" field.
  • 3 ... On the page that opens, check if your location and Internet provider are indicated. If all the data match, click on the blue "Test" button.
  • 4 ... Wait a few seconds while the program counts the internet speed.
  • 5 ... After verification, a page will open in which your IP, provider, site, ping and time of the event will be written. Slightly below the green numbers indicate the speed of your Internet.
    As already mentioned, both services are checked in their own way and at different times. If the Speedtest had 2 MG / sec, and 2ip 1 MG / sec, then the average checking speed will be 1.5 MG.

Yandex. Internet meter - check internet speed

Ours has a lot of good and useful services, including checking the speed of the Internet. We go to this link - yandex.ru/internet, and press the button "Measure"

Now you know how to check internet speed on your computer. If you want to always know the current Internet speed, you can download a special program to your computer. But such programs have a drawback - they slow down the computer and the Internet connection a little. Therefore, it's up to you whether you need such a program on your computer or not!

When buying the services of a provider, we hope that the speed of the Internet connection will be exactly as specified in the contract. Well, or almost like that. However, in practice, it rarely matches the figures on paper, because it is influenced by a lot of factors - from network congestion to the state of the client device - a computer, smartphone, tablet or Smart TV. In addition, in the contract, the provider indicates the maximum, and not the actual connection speed. However, if the latter is constantly and much lower than the former, the quality of the service can be questioned.

To control the work of the provider and just be aware of the real speed of the Internet, you need to know how to determine it. Fortunately, for this there is a large number of special software and free web services, which we will get acquainted with today. But let's start with what capabilities the Windows operating system has in this regard. We will also find out how to get the most reliable result.

Windows built-in capabilities

The easiest and fastest way to see the current speed of your Internet connection is in the Task Manager on the Performance tab. If the network is poorly loaded, the graph in the "Bandwidth" window will be low; if it is strong, the window will fill almost completely with it, and the speed shown in the upper right corner will approach that indicated in the contract with the provider. This should be normal. If, with a strong network load, the speed remains low, then there is an obstacle somewhere. But where - at your place or at his place?

To find out the maximum achievable (in theory) Internet speed for a particular type of connection, open the "Network Connections" folder and select the "Status" section in the context menu of your network.

The required information is contained in the "General" tab.

The real speed is usually 2-3 times lower than the maximum. By the way, when transferring data via Wi-Fi and cable, it can differ significantly.

Let's say you have established that the Internet on your computer should be faster. The next task is to find out who is responsible for the slowdown - your devices or your ISP.

How to check your Internet speed manually

To get the most reliable result, you need to check the Internet speed on the computer to which the provider's network cable is connected. If it is not possible to insert the cable directly into the computer, for example, if it only supports wireless connections or binds the connection to the MAC address of the router, disconnect all other devices from the Internet for the duration of the test.

  • Prepare a 1 GB file and select any cloud web service to which you will upload it, for example, Yandex Drive or Google Drive. It is important that the service does not limit the speed of uploading and downloading content.
  • Close all programs using the network and the Internet in order to unload the channel as much as possible.
  • Disable VPN clients and proxy servers if they are not required to establish WAN access.
  • Time yourself and start uploading the file to the cloud server. Note the download end time.
  • Download the file back to your PC under time control.

Knowing the file size in megabytes and the number of seconds it took to transfer it, you can easily calculate the Internet speed in Mbps. If it is close to that specified in the contract, then the provider will fulfill its obligations to you, and the reason for the slowdown is in your devices. If not, then the opposite is true.

For those of you who don't want to do computing, you can check your Internet speeds using the methods discussed below. For reliability, we advise you to perform the check several times within an hour.

Web services

Checking the Internet speed using the 2ip service is as easy as shelling pears: press the "Test" button and wait 1-2 minutes.

In addition to ping rates, as well as incoming and outgoing speeds, 2ip allows you to find out:

  • Average speed indicators of the Internet in your city.
  • Average speed indicators among subscribers of your provider.
  • The best tests for all providers for the current day.
  • The total number of measurements among all providers.

Such a kind of benchmark. Below on the page is a table of the last ten measurements.

By the way, as of the date of the audit, none of the largest leaders in the provider services market in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan - Rostelecom, ByFly, Ukrtelecom, Kazakhtelecom, MTS, Beeline, Akado, Iota, Dom.ru, Citylink and TTK, never became record holder. The first places were taken by small and not very well-known companies.

And further. If you have something to tell other users about the services of your Internet provider, you can leave a review on the site.

Is another simple free service of a similar purpose. To start the check, just click the "Start" button. The result will be displayed on the screen in a couple of minutes.

By the way, if you sign up for Speedtest (it's also free), you can save the test results in your account and share links to them with other users.

In addition to the web service available online through a browser from any device, SpeedTest exists as an application for stationary (Windows, Mac OS X) and mobile (iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Amazon) platforms.

Yandex.Internetometer

The Yandex.Internetometer service determines the speed of incoming and outgoing connections without ping. However, in addition to this, it shows detailed information about your internet connection, operating system and the browser in which you ran the check. It's a pity that benchmarks and the ability to save test results are not provided here.

Press the "Measure" button to start the test. The result, like that of competitors, appears on the screen in 1-2 minutes.

It is very reminiscent of the set of functions of the service of the same name in the “ru” domain and differs from it only in the style of design. In addition to the button for testing the speed of the Internet, this resource contains the rating of Ukrainian providers and the indicators of the last 20 checks.

For users with Russian IP, the site 2ip.ua opens in Russian, for residents of Ukraine - in Ukrainian.

To start testing, click the "Test" button. The result will be displayed after the same time as the others.

Banki.ru

Banki.ru uses 2 tests provided by telecommunications company Wellink. One of them is a traditional check of the response time (ping), incoming and outgoing Internet speeds, the second is checking the quality of watching videos online. Based on the testing results, the service displays a brief description of your connection: how quickly a new episode of the film will open, how long it will take to download an album and upload a photo to a social network, what video quality is optimal for your connection, whether the picture will freeze when watching videos through a browser.

The use of the service on Banki.ru is no different from the others.

Free software for testing Internet speed on PC and mobile devices

If you use the above services several times in a row, you will notice that the Internet bandwidth indicators will always be different. This is normal, but not entirely informative, especially when the connection works intermittently. Applications, unlike web services, allow you to monitor network traffic continuously. And this is their main advantage.

NetTraffic for Windows

The utility, released in the installation and portable versions, is a small window constantly hanging in the corner of the screen, where the connection speed is displayed in real time.

In addition to current data, it collects traffic statistics for user-specified time intervals. Can monitor multiple network interfaces at the same time.

TMeter for Windows

- a more advanced tool for monitoring Internet traffic than the previous utility, but also very simple to understand and use. In addition to speed parameters, it collects statistics about the IP addresses of the visited resources, ports, protocols, etc.

Tmeter has a built-in firewall and traffic distributor (traffic shaper) between LAN devices. These functions become available if the program is running on a computer that is used as a gateway for other devices to connect to the Internet.

The utility is designed to monitor the entire flow of information passing through the network adapter, including the data transfer rate. Initially, it is in English, but a crack has been released for it (available on the download page), which you just need to copy to the folder with the executable file or program archive.

NetworkTrafficView works without installation and does not require any special settings. Connection data is displayed in a table in the main and only window of the utility.

Internet speed test for Android

The "Internet Speed ​​Test" mobile application is not only stylishly designed, but also very functional. In addition to collecting the main speed characteristics of Wi-Fi and 2 / 3G networks, it displays the delay time for sending packets, allows you to select a test server (its availability and remoteness affect the performance), accumulates statistics and publishes the results of checks on social networks.

Another convenient application is that it supports even very old versions of Android.

Meteor - speed test for Android

Meteor - Speed ​​Test is one of the few mobile apps that has received the highest user rating - 4.8 points. It not only shows the real speed of the Internet connection, but also determines how fast popular network programs will work with the current connection quality. Such programs include social media clients, browsers, Gmail, YouTube, Skype, WhatsApp, Wase navigator, Google Maps, Uber taxi service, etc. There are 16 different applications in total.

Other advantages of Meteor are that it supports all kinds of network connections, including 4G, and does not contain ads.

Hello dear readers of the blog site. There are a lot of online services that allow you to do this, and they will be discussed below. But often all this is not needed - you only need quickly test your internet channel and understand how it corresponds to the tariff plan for which you pay money to the provider.

Not so long ago, the bourgeois service "nPerf Speed ​​Test" offered me to install their script on the site. It works very clearly and does an excellent job with its task - checking the quality of your connection to the global network. Just click on the button "Start testing" just below (this is not a screenshot, but quite a working speedometer).

At first data download speed is measured from the network (as a rule, this test is the most important for most users), then goes recoil rate measurement, well, at the end it is calculated ping, i.e. response delays when accessing a server on the Internet.

Yes, actually, what to say. Try it yourself. Above is the window of this online meter and you just need to click on a button.

Measure internet speed on your computer right here

Despite the fact that the above speedometer is extremely easy to use and, what is important, is fully translated into Russian, it is worth mentioning a few nuances associated with its use. The check usually takes one or two minutes (depending on the speed of your connection), after which you can contemplate the test results in the same window:

You will see the main indicators in the right column:

  1. Download speed- the most important characteristic for those who often download something "heavy" from the Internet.
  2. Unloading- testing the back channel through which you will upload files to the network. It is important for those who upload a lot of something to the Internet, for example, upload videos to YouTube, (on,) or something else heavy, or in large quantities. It is also important when actively working with cloud services. Although in the latter case, both speed values ​​are important.
  3. Delay- this is essentially the good old, which is very important for those who play on the network. It will determine the speed of the response, i.e. reaction time to your actions (the quality of the Internet channel is tested). If the delay is long, it will be difficult or impossible to play.

I have an Internet provider MGTS (Gpon) and a tariff with a declared channel width of 100 Mbps. As can be seen from the graphs of measuring the speed, such a figure did not work in either direction. In principle, this is normal, because my signal transmission from the router to the computer goes through the electrical network, which, apparently, has pickups. In addition, several more Internet users work in the apartment besides me and it is beyond my power to make them stop.

Let's return, however, to our measurement tool. On the right in its window, you will see the name of your ISP and the IP address of your computer. Under the button "Start testing" there is a wrench, by pressing which you can select speed units:

By default, megabits per second are used, but you can also select megabytes, as well as kilobytes or kilobits. , you can see the link. In general, the speed in megabytes will be about eight to nine times less than in megabits. In theory, it should be 8 times, but there are service packets that consume part of the channel speed.

Let's go over the capabilities of the meter and how it differs from competitors (the competitors will be discussed below):

  1. Like other similar online meters, it runs on Flash, but does not require any additional plugins - it works in all browsers, including mobile
  2. This speed test is developed in HTML5 and can measure channels with a width of more than Gbps, which is not available to many other online services.
  3. You can check any type of connection including WiMAX, WiFi and local networks

Yes, also a given speed test allows you to choose a place, from where the data will be downloaded and sent, according to the transmission speed of which you will judge the quality of your Internet channel. By default, the server (?) Closest to your current location is selected for testing (it is not difficult).

But the program may make a mistake, or for some reason you yourself will need to measure the quality of your computer's connection with a server from another country. It is not difficult to do this, simply by clicking on the corresponding line at the bottom of the window (see the screenshot above).

How to check internet speed on your phone

In principle, you can do exactly the same. Open this page on your mobile phone, then click at the beginning of the page on the button "Start testing and wait for the result." The meter script works quite correctly on mobile devices and gives the characteristics of the forward and reverse Internet channels, as well as the response speed (ping).

If this method seems somewhat inconvenient to you, then you can try put the application on your mobile phone"Speed ​​Test" by nPerf. It is quite popular (half a million installations) and in many ways repeats what you have already seen:

But after testing the speed of the forward and reverse channel, as well as measuring the ping, the Speed ​​Test application still measures the loading time of popular social networks (web surfing) and determines how much your Internet connection is suitable for watching streaming video(streaming) of various quality (from low to HD). Based on the test results, a summary table is formed and an overall assessment is given (in parrots).

Where else can you measure your internet speed?

Below I want to give examples of free online services that allow you to measure the speed of your Internet connection, find out my or your IP address from which you connect to the network, determine your location, check a website or file for a virus, find out if the desired port is open. on a computer and much more.

The most famous of them are Speedtest (speedtest.net), Ya. Internetometer (internet.yandex.ru), as well as the universal online service 2IP (2ip.ru), which, in addition to measuring the connection speed and determining the IP address, can do many different things , up to anonymous (anonim) surfing the Internet. Let's take a look at them all in order.

Speedtest (speedtest.net)

The most popular online internet speed testing service is proudly named Speedtest(from the word speed - speed).

As a result of its use, you will find out the incoming and outgoing speeds of your Internet connection. However, you can feel the capabilities of a full-fledged tool only by visiting the developer's website. It is located at SpeedTest.net(no speedtest point), but not.ru, because in the latter case you will find yourself on an obscene resource.

I got acquainted with the speed test as soon as I connected my first unlimited tariff, because I wanted to check if my new provider was cheating on me about the speed of the provided channel. It was only later that I was interested in the more advanced features of 2ip and others like it, which will be discussed in the continuation of this publication.

To activate the speed test it will be enough to click on the "Start" button. Although you can pre-select the location of the server from which the check will be carried out (the "Change server" button):

True, I liked their old design much more. Previously, the measurement of the Internet speed in the speed test was very clear (the transfer of data between the selected city and your computer was displayed) and the expectation of the result did not cause negative emotions:

Now sheer boring (bring back the old SpeedTest design!):

Internet meter from Yandex

If the results of the speed test in Speedtest do not suit you or seem unreliable (or maybe you just won't start a flash), then the Yandex online service will come to your aid - (earlier it was called Yandex Internet - internet.yandex.ru):

Immediately after entering the site, you will see the unique address of your computer from which you entered the Internet meter, as well as other summary information about your browser, screen resolution and location (determined based on IP).

For, to determine the speed of your internet connection, it will be enough to click on this yandex internet service the button in the form of a green ruler "Measure" and wait a minute until the end of the test:

As a result, you will find out how your channel complies with the characteristics declared by the provider, and you will also be able to get a code for publishing test results. In general, the Internetometer service from Yandex is simple to disgrace, but it performs its main task (measuring the channel width or, in other words, the connection speed) quite tolerably.

Testing speed at 2ip and Ukrtelecom

I have known 2ip for a long time, but at the time when I was just starting to use it, I was not interested in all its features that could be useful to webmasters. Or maybe these opportunities were not there before.

When you enter the 2 ip home page, you will immediately get the opportunity to find out and use a number of other mini-services:

Well, and among other things, you can measure the speed of your Internet in 2IP... Before starting testing, turn off all downloads, close the tabs with online video, after which you can fill in the fields with the bandwidth declared by the Internet provider for downloading and uploading, or you can just forget about it and click on the "Test" button:

It will take some time to check the incoming and outgoing speed of your Internet connection, after which you can evaluate the test results, and at the same time get a code to insert a widget with the measurement results, for example, in a message on a forum or somewhere else:

You can check the speed of the Internet connection not only in the services described above, but also in a number of others. For example, Speedtest Ukrtelecom- a very laconic, I must say, online service. Nothing superfluous - just numbers for speed and ping:

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Choosing a provider and connecting the Internet, each subscriber wants to get quick access to the World Wide Web. But what if the speed of the Internet, in your opinion, does not correspond to the one prescribed in the tariff plan and you suspect that the line is damaged, or even worse, the provider does not provide you with services in the specified volume? In this case, you should check the quality of the connection and, if it turns out to be low, take appropriate measures.

Internet connection quality

The quality or speed of the Internet connection is one of the important characteristics that you should pay attention to when choosing a tariff plan. It depends on it how quickly pages and files from the Internet will load, whether you can run your favorite online game or not.

In fact, this is the time during which information is exchanged between your computer and other servers of the worldwide network. This value is measured in megabits per second, less often you can find values ​​indicated in kilobits.

Unfortunately, the numbers indicated in the contract do not always coincide with the real ones, therefore, special tests should be carried out periodically, and if the values ​​obtained differ significantly from the indicated ones, contact your Internet provider.

Testing mechanism

All services are analyzed according to the same principle. You go to a website and request a speed test. Your computer automatically sends a package of documents to the server using the line of your provider. After receiving the files, the program sends them back to the computer. At the same time, the volume of the packet and the time spent on its receipt and transmission are recorded.

Based on the received data, the following information is displayed:

  1. Ping is the time it takes to transfer data in a computer network from a client to a server and vice versa. Usually measured in milliseconds.
  2. The transfer rate of the information at which your computer transmits data. It is measured in megabits per second, less often in kilobytes.
  3. The receive rate at which your computer is receiving data. Also measured in megabits per second.

How to find out the internet speed?

You can check the speed of the Internet from Rostelecom using various services. For testing, you should select a site that you trust, and also disable all programs for downloading files, instant messaging clients such as Skype, ICQ and others, since their work significantly affects the results of the analysis. In addition, it is recommended to check several times during the day, or even several times, in order to draw correct conclusions regarding the speed of the Internet.

With Speedtest

One of the most accurate is the speed test from the Speedtest service. Verification is fairly easy. To do this, you should:

Upon completion of the test, you will find out the speed of receiving and transmitting data in megabits per second, as well as the ping.

With the help of the official service Rostelecom

Rostelecom also offers its customers to check the speed of the Internet connection for free. However, experts believe that its results are less reliable than those obtained when testing with Speedtest.

To measure, you should follow these steps:


  • ping, measured in milliseconds;
  • incoming and outgoing speed in megabits per second.

Other Testing Methods

If the test results do not suit you, you can also find out the quality of the Internet connection using other equally well-known services, such as:

  • speed-tester.info;
  • 2ip.ru/speed;
  • pr-cy.ru/speed_test_internet;

Their principle of operation is the same as described above. The only difference is that the first two are designed directly for analyzing the Internet connection, the rest provide a number of other features, such as checking IP, site traffic, pages, etc. Therefore, the data obtained with their help are considered less reliable.

Poor connection reasons

The test results showed low speed, but what is the reason? There are several options:

  1. Your computer is infected with a virus that uses the Internet to transmit and receive information.
  2. If you have a wi-fi router, then neighbors may have connected to you.
  3. Your modem is broken or has lost settings.
  4. Problems with the cable in the house or apartment (pinched or broken cable, damaged clamps, etc.).
  5. Line problems.
  6. Provider's server load.

What to do?

If the test results are bad, that is, significantly lower than the values ​​specified in the contract, then you should definitely take the following steps:

  1. Scan your computer thoroughly with an anti-virus program. It is advisable to update it before that.
  2. Change the password from the wi-fi router.
  3. Just in case, try to connect another modem (if any) and check the integrity of the cable in the apartment.
  4. If all of the above actions do not work, you should contact the technical support of Rostelecom and leave a request to check the equipment and line.

To do this, dial the number 8-800-300-18-00 and tell the operator about the problems you have encountered. He must register your application, which will be reviewed within three days. At the same time, the company's specialists will not only check your line, but also the equipment, and then provide you with information about the problems found.

In most cases, contacting technical support should solve your Internet connection problems. In case you have not seen a positive result, you should change your tariff plan by choosing the one where the speed is lower. This way you will not overpay for the Internet.

Many internet service providers today claim to provide the fastest data transfer rates. How true is this statement? The data transfer rate is influenced by various factors: the day of the week, the time, the congestion of the communication channel, the state of the communication lines, the technical condition of the servers used, even the weather. Clients purchasing a certain package of services want to be sure that for their money they will be provided with the Internet at the stated speed. In this article, we will tell you how to find out your connection speed, as well as what services are best used for this purpose.

How can you check your internet speed?

To check the speed of the Internet, we will use the special services available on the network. This method is the most accurate, affordable and convenient. In this case, the speed is measured from the computer to the server on which the service is running. Indicators in all cases will differ from each other.

We will measure the incoming speed, as well as the outgoing one (the speed with which we send information, for example, through a torrent).


These indicators usually differ from each other, the outgoing speed, as a rule, is less than the incoming one. The service with the highest incoming speed will be considered the best.

Before starting testing, you need to do the following:

  • Close all applications except the browser (especially those programs that can download something).
  • Wait until the end of the downloads or pause them in the browser.
  • Make sure that the operating system or other applications are not updated during the scan.
  • To prevent Windows Firewall from affecting the results, it is also advisable to disable it.

Services through which you can check the speed

There are several services on the network through which you can check the data transfer rate:, etc. You can test several of them and choose the most suitable one. Below we take a look at the most popular of these services.

Internet meter from Yandex

To test your connection speed using this online service, you must. When you do this, you will see a large yellow button “ Change". Here you can also see your IP address. For Yandex to start testing, you must click on the button and wait a little. The duration of testing is determined by the speed itself. If the speed is too low or there are interruptions in communication, the test may freeze or fail.


Yandex, while testing the speed, downloads and uploads a test file several times, after which it calculates the average value. At the same time, it cuts off strong dips, thereby ensuring the most accurate determination of the connection speed. However, despite this, after repeated checks, we received different results, the error of which was 10-20 percent.


In principle, this is normal, since speed is an unstable indicator, it jumps all the time. Yandex claims that this test accurately determines the speed, but many factors influence the result.

Service 2ip.ru

very popular. With its help, you can not only determine the speed of your Internet connection, but also find out the IP address of your computer. This service will give you full information on your IP address, check any of your files for viruses, and also tell you a lot of interesting information about any site on the Internet (site engine, IP, distance to the site, the presence of viruses on it, its availability, etc.). etc.).

To check the speed, click on the "Tests" tab on the inscription "Internet connection speed".


After that, indicate the speed declared by your provider so that the service can compare it with the real speed, and then click the big button " Test". After running several repeated checks, you will have to enter a simple captcha.


This service delivered almost 3 times higher outgoing connection speed and slightly lower incoming speed. A BB code is suggested to insert a picture containing the test results into the forum. To insert the code on the site, you will need to edit it yourself.


Changes in speed after each repeat test were insignificant - within ten percent.

Speedtest.net

This is a very convenient, serious service that allows you to determine the speed of your Internet connection with maximum accuracy. Although this site is located in America, a server located next to the user is used for the test, so this server is suitable for everyone, regardless of their location.

This "trick" allows you to get the best results, but it also has its negative sides. The user can compare the obtained figures with the data declared by the provider, however, the real Internet speed is lower precisely for the reason that the rest of the servers are scattered all over the planet. Therefore, it is advisable to use several services at the same time to check the speed.

All this works on flash animation, so not everyone can work. To start testing, you should, after which press the button " Start check».


After the end of the testing process, the user can see a link to a picture, which he can independently insert into the website, as well as a BB code intended for forums.


As you can see, this test finally showed a high incoming speed and a normal outgoing speed, but we managed to achieve similar results only on the fifth attempt, since the results differ significantly. But at such speeds, close to theoretical, this situation is normal.

The service periodically hosts SpeedWave tournaments, during which you can compete with other participants or just find out what speeds are in general.

After registering on the portal, you will have access to the history of all your checks, thanks to which you can compare various indicators. You will be able to run the test periodically, and then check the history for the year in a graphical representation.

You can also visit a foreign service that tests not the speed, but the quality of the connection. This is also a necessary thing. The service closest to you is selected, after which the level of communication quality from this service to you is tested. We got the following results:

The maximum possible indicators, characteristic of our Internet connection, were not able to determine any service. Therefore, you can use the program to test the maximum incoming speed. Find a popular giveaway that has 20 or more seeders, download it and watch the speed.

When testing, keep in mind that slow speed can also be caused by poor performance of your computer.
