Broadband speed test

Some time ago i posted about a free online tool that to test your internet speed in a few clicks. A good broadband speed tester will help you to choose the best internet options in the market, take the best decision and sometimes this will make you save some good money.

 I have found another free tool to test your broadband speed test. Nowadays broadband users are increasing taking advantage of convenience and portability, with no need of a land line and more flexibility. However sometimes broadband may have lack of reception, compared to a line access. This tool I’m posting about is specially designed for UK users, but it will work wherever you are in the world.

It will work with the most accurate results available for any type of connection including ADSL, cable and mobile broadband. It easy to use, just choose the details of your internet connection (provider, supposed speed, monthly internet and phone line cost, your postcode and a rate of your provider) then run the speed test and see the results with information on Broadband download speed and Broadband upload speed test.

You can see my test results in the following image:

 

 

Try it and let me know how it worked for you :)

  1. Hi!Great tips overhere!

  2. Obrigado Belinha! :)

  3. Not to brag or anything but I think I found a better test…. The above test gives basic speed information but no real info you quality or capability of your connection. My favorite Broadband Speed Test site is http://www.ispgeeks.com.

    Click on Broadband Diagnostics then TCP Quality Test and the rest is simple. They also have a true speed test, voip test and a couple of other things.

    You get data back like this (testing my connection)
