Have you ever wondered what speed your internet connection was? I mean, you can refer to the bill from your Internet Service Provider to see what speed it’s supposed to be, but now you can check it for yourself. Ha!
Disclaimer: There are of course different reasons why your connection speed may be slower at some times than others. But at least now you can test it yourself, anytime, and discuss it with your ISP if there are inconsistencies.
HOW? There is a free online tool that can help you find out the speed of your internet in seconds.
You simply go to http://speedtest.net
DO NOT click on the top bar which mentions “free scans” and “turbo-charge your internet performance”. This wants to provide you with something that you do not need.
In the middle of your screen there is a map, and on the top of the map there is a small rectangle with the words “Start Test To Recommended Server”. Click this box and the speed test will happen automatically – give it about 30 seconds.
The test will provide you with a report on your upload and download speed!
