Yes, friends. There are several free online tools for measuring exactly how fast your download and upload speeds really are. If you can get 3000 kilobits per second down (3 megabits per second) and 1500 kilobits per second up (1.5 megabits per second), then you are doing well. Similarly, if your ISP promised you faster speeds, and you are only getting 600 kilobits per second down and 150 kb/s up, then it's time to call their customer service. Test your connection now! One speed-testing service worth trying: DSLreports.com.



I didn’t even know such tools were available. This is very good information. Thank you!

um ya i got this
is it good u said we should get a high upload speed too right?
sorry, i got 6326 down and 483 up is the upload bad?
Here in the UK I use speedtest.net. Similar kind of tool….
Interesting tool to try out. This all does depend on what time of day you try it. At night time when very little users on you will probably see better results, and in the high peaks it will be lower. Still a nice tool.

Very useful tool I’ll be making good use of it thanks Paul.

Thanks for the great info Paul.
I have used a similar tool in the past to check internet speeds, which never had a reliable result.
Having knowledge of the correct internet speeds that you are receiving has always been useful while talking to your ISP support team, as they will always try and blame your modem or computer for any issues.
Thanks for the info. My internet connection has been terrible lately and it’s good to see there are ways to find out why if we’re getting the services we pay for.
Thanks for this tool, This will come in handy for testing my new ISP’S connection speeds.
Thx again

Wow, great tools. I actually found out that my connection speed at home was lacking, and when I called Rogers, they fixed up my connection. Now Internet is way faster, I had no idea. Thanks for the post!
Now i have to say that this tool is amazing i have been using speedtest.net up until now but DSLreports.com loads much faster and i think it gives you more accurate results.
Thanks for sharing

Optimize your modem’s settings, data transfer time could be reduced so that you can surf, email and download significantly faster than before, even if it’s peak hour on the web.

I had no idea there were such great tools on the net. As an internet based business owner I’m sick of ISP’s constantly talking BS about how fast their connection speed is!

I’ve never been dropped from the network and there’s been no degradation in performance from when the USB modem is plugged directly into the computer. I check my connect speed regularly with Speed Test

I didn’t know the tool exist. After using your tools above, my download speed is around 8 Mbps while it is supposed to be 16 Mbps as advertised
