What is the best internet speed test available? Internet provider has been ripping me off, paying twice as much for speed than they are giving me. I want to compare their bandwith test with another. Any suggestions for an online internet speed test?
What Internet speed test is the best? I have Comcast for my internet provider, It is as slow as my mothers dialup service. Comcast came out and used their speed test and it said that I was running at 20mps, But when I ran a speed test from other sites it said that I was at 1.5mps or slower. Is Comast speed test fixed? Is there a true and accurate speed test?
Why do my internet speeds differ from the speed test? I just tried 2 internet speed tests, one from my internet provider, and a third party one. They both show around 1.5 mb/s for my download speeds, but when I actually try to download something on my computer, it shows only 150 kb/s. Is there a way to get the speeds that the tests are showing? All answers are appreciated
What is an internet speed test and how can I perform one? What can I do to improve my download speed? My pc is having alot of difficulty trying to process demands.

Does the number of computers affect an internet speed test? We have 8Mbps Broadband coming into our office, with 4 computers using that connection. If I do a speed test on ONE of the computers does it tell me what connection speed THAT computer is receiving or what the whole network is receiving? Cheers, Rich
Are these internet speed test results good? Your DSL connection rate: 1536 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) IP profile for your line is - 1250 kbps Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 761 kbps I was having problems with slow speed. BT have done something but im not sure if it's as fast as it should be for 8mb.
Does my broadband plan speed and internet test speed mean anything? My broadband plan is 8Mbps but when I use an online speed tester, the d/l speed doesn't even get near there. Infact, its still below 3Mbps. So if I change to a 3Mbps plan, will it reduce my speed, or will I still be fuctioning at the same speed as my 8Mbps plan since the test showed that the speed is below 3Mbps?
Where can I get an accurate internet speed test? PLEASE ON POST IF YOU ARE 100% SURE IT IS ACCURATE. Most of online tests I have checked so far give pure random guesses. Not one has given me a similar reading to the other. Most give a completely different reading each time you use it. UK tests only please/ Thanks

Internet speed test shows good speed but my internet is actually slow and "bumpy"? I have a wireless router but my computer is connected directly to the router, its a cable modem, if the speed test shows the speed I'm paying for (supposedly) then why is my connection bad? its slow, takes too much time to load pages, and I often have to refresh or click "try again" to get the page to show up, I use firefox.....could it be my router is old?
Internet speed test? I buy a connection with 2048 kbit. in internet speed. But when running the speed test it says only 1723 kbit. Is it fair that I should pay full price when I recieve 15% less in speed.

Internet speed test results? I have cox high speed internet service. I play World of Warcraft and am getting mega lag. So i did a speed test on my internet. Results from 3 different speed test sites average 1.12Mb/s download and 0.28Mb/s upload. the guy at Cox said that this was what it was supposed to be, problem is i don't know if that's what its supposed to be.

How to read my internet speed test from speedtest.net? I just got Verizon Fios and I'm supposed to have the 20Mbps/5Mbps internet speed. I don't know what that means though. I knows its not the slowest option they offer but not the fastest. I went to speedtest.net and ran their test and my results are: 5.12 Mb/s download speed and 3.32 Mb/s upload speed. Doesn't 20Mbps/5Mbps mean my download speed should be 20 and my upload speed should be 10? I have a feeling I'm not getting what I paid for. I selected the Flex Package through Verizon if you want to look it up for better understand what I'm saying. Any help is appreciated.

Question about internet speed test? Hey, So I'm getting a 100 kb/s connection at my house when I have a 1.5mb/s connection (or says so on the package, I know I won't get that actual speed) with a perfect sync ratio (even better than perfect, apparently). Is this normal? Also, what do speed tests really measure--Like say if I get a download value from speakeasy, is that what I should actually be downloading at from other websites? Thanks for your help!
Internet Speed Test Help!? I am running tests for speed on my internet on multiple sites. They are giving me varied resultsm but one in particular gives me a 4000kbps download speed and a 400kbps upload speed while another gives me 5000kbps download and 5000 kbps upload. Are all these tests testing just my computer's internet speed? Some ask me to pick a server. I'm testing the recent "slowness" in a school.
Internet speed? Test says 1063 Kbps but every page loads slow! Why is this? I have a wireless satelite connection. My speed is supposed to be 1 MBPS and accorcing to internet speed tests it is the showed 1063 KBPS (Upload speeds are about 55 KBPS) but when surfing the web it literally takes usually about 5 seconds just for yahoo home page to load, sometimes even upwards of 10 seconds! I have Windows Vista and am running with 4 Gigs of SD Ram. Anyone know why its running so slow. I do not have other programs running at the same time. I am connected with norton. Could it possibly be something with my firewall, or do you have any suggestions for me to speed it up? Thanks in advance. Josh

How/where can I test my internet speed? I have had Comcast for a long time. I usually have no problems with anything. I just changed accounts like a week ago and the internet seems likes it is taking forever...some times pages like Yahoo will not even load. I have to close firefox and start again. I am using a Linksys wireless router (my desktop is ethernet) and the pc upstairs is wireless and that is slow too.. They gave me a different modem this time. Is there somewhere to tweak this or to run a test? the only tests for comcast I can find is a speed test and that is 14.32 down...I forget what up was.. Any ideas would be appreciated...I hate slow computers! Oh and I didn't change the internet package when I resigned with Comcast. Thanks

Internet Speed Test Questions? I just did a speed test on speedtest.net and have a few questions. According to the test, my download speed is 742 kb/s and my upload speed is 127 kb/s, which is extremely bad. When I looked up the stats for how fast Verizon DSL can go (my ISP), it says the download can hold a capacity of 9323 kb/s, and an upload of 2437 kb/s, which is a HUGE difference between mine and how fast it can actually go. So my question is - what can I do to fix this? I was thinking it might be the crappy router that Verizon provided for $80. We've had it for over a year. It's the only router Verizon makes. So I was thinking it would be the router's fault for giving such slow speeds. Should I save up and buy a nice router? If so, which one would you recommend that would work best for its money (less than $150, please). By the way, I'm wirelessly hooked up. Does that affect the speed? I'm not even 30 feet from the router. Thanks!
Explanation of online "internet speed test"? The results indicated my upload and download time were fast enough for VOIP, which is good. However the quality of service was low, meaning the download paused and was choppy. How to I fix this problem. Is it my Internet provider my cables?
internet speed test and vista, download speed only 0.44 mb/s? I'm newbie here but i know that vista has something about protection from malwares so it half-open ports. I'm just wondering why speed test reports me to have around 0.44 mb/s which is actually true http://www.speedtest.net/result/630410574.png (reduced bec. Ive' opened another tab) but when I view my local area connection status I have 100.00 mbp/s Is mbp/s diff. from mb/s ? How about driver issues? I am connected via PLDT DSL using a Zyxel P-600 series modem Vista 64 sp2 OS I've come across this TCP/IP patch but O think it's only for torrrent connection. Pls explain why I only get 0.44 Mb/s download speed.

The best, most trustworthy Internet speed test - online?? I found those ,but data from those differ :( Which is the most trustworthy speed test online ?

Internet speed test results are very low, or is this normal? Just wanted to get someones take on this-- I ran a speed test at speedtest.net from my laptop which has an internal wireless card. Came back at 1.29 Mb/s dl .60 upload. I was thinking that this is pretty low so I plugged my laptop in directly to the router and it came back at 20.61 Mb/s dl and .96 upload. I have road runner cable, a newer modem from them, and my laptop normally sits about 3 feet from the router. Router is a linksys BEFW11S4. Also my laptop is a brand new Lenovo T500. Is it normal to have this big of a difference between the two or is something wrong? Lemme know what ya guys think.

How accurate are Internet speed tests.? I did a few of the free online internet speed tests, and came up with different answers, all of which are well below the speed I'm paying for. Are they accurate? If they give me a download and an upload speed, do I combine them to get the actual speed. It doesn't make sense to me. Help
