Many manufacturing plants have a shift work schedule...
Currently, free online services are very popular, capable of determining the speed of the Internet connection being used in a few seconds, as well as finding out the IP address of the computer, determining the user’s location, checking the site for viruses, and more. Among the most common programs of this type is Speedtest.
The free service is designed to quickly test the transfer speed and download data to the user’s computer.
The test does not require downloading or installing any additional components.
To start testing, there is a special button “Forward” (Start testing).
The final result is produced 30 seconds after the program is launched for execution.
Features of Speedtest Net
As a result of using SpeedTest, it becomes possible to determine the incoming and outgoing speed of the Internet connection.
In most cases, the declared value of this characteristic is deliberately overestimated by the supplier and does not correspond to reality. The provider indicates false facts in order to attract the attention of users and increase its popularity.
A complete package of tools with all the features can only be obtained by visiting the website of the official service developer or its partner. This is very important, since currently an incredible amount of obscene resources have been created masquerading as the original.
Global speed test SpeedTest
- The Speedtest.net service includes only one page – the main page.
He is:
- ping,
- the amount of incoming and outgoing speed Internet connections,
- user location, set by the IP address of the computer from which you entered the site.
Internet speed results among site users
- The total number of tests is 6867.
- Average download speed is 30.13 Mb/sec.
- The average download speed on a PC is 28.31 Mb/sec.
- The average ping value is 29 ms.
Particularly demanding users can use the option to determine the geographic location of the server that will perform the scan. For this purpose, a special map is provided, the scale of which can be changed using the slider located on its left side. In other cases, this operation is performed automatically.
The parameter testing is carried out in real time and looks truly impressive. It provides a visual display of everything that is happening - data transfer between the specified server and the user’s computer, taking into account all established indicators.
The data processor window presents a colorful animation of downloading or transferring data from the user’s device to the selected city, a graph and an image of a speedometer with the Speed mark. This approach is designed to brighten up the waiting time for results and save a person from unnecessary negative emotions about this.
The entire process of determining the real speed of an Internet connection through Speedtest is performed with one click of the mouse.
It is very convenient and does not take much time. Even a beginner can cope with such a task.
Ookla
Ookla is a global leader in broadband Internet speed testing and network diagnostic software.
SpeedTest.net was developed as the most accurate way to determine the fastest ISP and mobile network. Speed tests are aggregated by averaging the test results of each device at a given user location, each day.
This improves data accuracy and reduces bias from retesting or tests that attempt to skew results. There are also many other ways to prevent fraudulent or inaccurate results.
More than 5 million users use the Speedtest app every day, allowing the company to remain a leader in the Internet speed testing industry. This free service is available to anyone around the world who is interested in learning the features and characteristics of their Internet connection.
Many who have already encountered Internet speed testing services have noticed that the results of these tests quite often differ from the tariff plan (the speed provided by the provider). Most people, without delving into the details and intricacies of how services work, prefer to believe the indicated speed test results, on, perhaps for the first time, an open website. And then the calls to the provider’s technical support with complaints and claims begin. Often, long negotiations with technical support end in nothing - the recommendations of the technical staff are difficult or scary to implement. And, as a result, the client is not satisfied.
We conducted a small test of the most popular Internet connection speed testing services and decided to find out which service should be given the greatest preference, and also tried to find out why such different results are shown by speed measurements. At each site we carried out from 3 to 5 measurements, presenting the best indicators here.
For testing, we used a simple system unit with a dual-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, installed Windows 7 operating system. Not installed on the computer, the firewall is disabled. All components and modules (including flash player) are updated. Browsers used: Opera, Chrome, Fire Fox, Safari, testing was carried out in each of them. The network card is the most inexpensive, with an interface speed of 100 Mbit/s (Full duplex). The computer was connected with a 3-meter twisted pair cable to a Cisco L2 switch with a 1 Gb/s port (auto) and an external interface (Internet channel) of 2 Gb/s (LACP bonding mode 2).
In total, an analogue of broadband Internet access was obtained at a speed limited by the bandwidth of the computer’s network card - 100 Mbit/s.
Speedtest.net by Ookla - Global speed test
Speedtest.Net- probably one of the first and most popular services for checking basic network parameters. The test itself is created on the basis of flash technology, which, on the one hand, is beautiful, convenient and visual, on the other hand, it can let you down - the flash player is not installed correctly on your computer, or the browser flash module is not able to fully implement speed testing, and , as a result - errors in measurement.The web interface of the page http://www.speedtest.net/ looks like a map with the ability to select the server with which you want to test.
When you open the page www.speedtest.net, the service determines your location. A very useful feature of this service is the ability to select the server with which to test, because the fewer intermediate nodes between your computer and the server, the more accurate the measurement results will be.
Before testing begins, a ping test takes place - the server's response time to your request to it.
Immediately after measuring the ping, the download speed is measured - Download.
After measuring your incoming speed, the service will automatically begin measuring outgoing speed - Upload, the speed at which you can upload and transfer files to the Internet.
Outgoing speed testing - Upload.
After all the tests have been carried out - ping, incoming and outgoing speed, the results will appear on the screen with a suggestion to repeat the test ( TEST AGAIN), or select another server ( NEW SERVER) to check Internet settings.
Test result.
Further, using the service Speedtes.Net, we chose another, most remote server in Kyiv, the data to which will pass through several Data Centers, with this we will show the influence of intermediate nodes on the accuracy of testing measurements.
Selecting a remote server located in Kyiv.
Speed testing with a server located in Kyiv.
Here it is worth paying attention to the increase in ping to 13 ms, which indicates data delays on intermediate servers and routers located between us and Kiev.
Result for Speedtest.net by Ookla - 95/95 Mbit/s with our throughput of 100 Mbps this is the most accurate result.
If you need to do testing with our server located in Torez, go here.
Bandwidthplace.com - speed test for all devices
Bandwidthplace.Com- just like Speedtest.Net uses flash technology to measure network speed. Here everything is more modest, the choice of servers (button Select Server) for testing is small, only about 15, the location of which indicates that the service is focused on America and Japan. The closest to us was Frankfurt (Germany).
The result of the check, to put it mildly, was no. With our actual channel width of 100 Mbit/s, the Bandwidthplace.com service showed only 11 Mbit/s - 10 times lower than our actual speed. Moreover, we were not able to check our outgoing speed using this service.
Bandwidthplace.com speed testing.
This is all due to the remoteness of the server and the large number of intermediate nodes connected to it. We counted 8 pieces. 
Tracing the route to the server - Bandwidthplace.com.
Result for Bandwidthplace.com - 11/-- Mbit/s with our throughput of 100 Mbit/s, this service is not suitable for our region.
2ip.Ru - Network services portal
2ip.Ru- probably one of the first Russian-language services for the Internet. Among them is a speed check service.Before checking, the service prompts you to enter your speed according to the tariff plan; for further assessment - declared/actual.
The lack of selection of the nearest server affected the results.
The result of the Internet connection speed is 2ip.Ru.
Despite the fact that the 2ip.ru service is aimed at Russian-speaking network users, it itself is located in Germany, so the service is more suitable for the western regions of the CIS countries (Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg...). Due to the fact that there are a large number of nodes between us and the 2ip.ru service, it is not suitable for accurate measurements.
Result for 2ip.Ru - 27/7 Mbit/s
Pr-Cy.Ru - Analysis and verification of network resources
Pr-Cy.Ru- another popular Russian-language service, specializes in website analysis, the speed check service on it is a pleasant addition to other services.The speed test page includes a map that allows you to select your preferred server with the fewest nodes on the path to it for the most accurate result.
Speed check page - Pr-Cy.Ru.
After pressing the button “Start Internet speed test”, first the server response time (ping) is measured, after which the incoming and then outgoing Internet speed will be automatically checked.
Testing Internet speed on the Pr-Cy.Ru website.
Internet speed test result.
The test result was disappointing, deviations were more than 20%. Most likely, the owners of the Pr-Cy.Ru resource do not prioritize the accuracy of Internet speed measurements and pay more attention to the accuracy of their other services.
Result for Pr-Cy.Ru - 80/20 Mbit/s, in our opinion, a dubious service for our region.
We think this is enough comparative tests. Our goal was to show that speed checking services are nothing more than entertainment and should not be taken more or less seriously. We did not specifically consider other services, such as.
Any person connected to the global network (and these days the majority of them) sooner or later has a question - how to check internet speed for free? Someone wants to test the new tariff of their provider - isn't it cheating? Does the stated speed match the actual speed? Others need to accurately measure the Internet connection speed in Mbps in order to decide whether it will meet the needs of the family when switching to Wi-Fi or whether something more powerful is needed. Well, the rest are simply worried about the question of whether to leave the torrent downloading the latest series overnight, whether it will have time to download, and they need to know how to measure the Internet speed on their computer. In general, this question is relevant, and our article today will answer it.
How to Test Internet Speed Using Speedtest
The simplest and most effective thing is to check your Internet speed online using the Speedtest service. It's absolutely free, fast and accurate.
Speedtest(Speedtest) is a reputable online service for testing Internet speed, with the ability to configure language, units of measurement, server, etc., as well as save and compare your results (for registered users). The developer of the Speedtest is the Ookla company. Today, Speedtest is actually one of the best Internet speed meters. This not advertising, our editors use Speedtest themselves and are happy with it so far.
How to check Internet speed with Speedtest? Simply and easily. We go to the Russian version of the site - speedtest.net/ru You will see a stylish green picture of the meter depicting the continents of our planet indicating your current location.
The Speedtest main page displays your current location, IP address, provider and, most importantly, a “Start Test” button for network speed
speedtest.net/ru
You can click anywhere on the map at the bottom of the picture and then select any item (a bright white dot) on the enlarged portion of the map at the top. When you hover over a point with the cursor, it will appear server list, from which you can choose any one and check the Internet speed on it.
You can choose any available server to test your network speed

A green circle with a triangle indicates your current location with the nearest server. It is determined automatically. By clicking on the triangle, you can also select another server from the list that appears.
But you can leave everything as it is. If you just want to quickly check the speed of your Internet connection, do not change the default settings.
Please note that in the lower left corner information with your IP address and the name of the provider. This may be helpful. If you left-click on an IP address, it will automatically be copied to the clipboard.
The opposite right corner displays the ever-changing number of Internet speed tests for today. Tens of millions of checks... a lot! This already speaks volumes about the credibility of the service.
And, most importantly, at the top there is a big green button “ Start checking" We click on it. In this case, it is advisable to disable all programs that use the network, and not switch the test tab.
Decoding the Internet speed test results by Speedtest
So, you press the button and the service will begin testing the speed of your Internet connection. You'll have to wait a couple of minutes. Finally an information window will appear with inspection results Internet connection speed.
Speedtest network speed test results: ping, reception and transmission speed
The image uses a screenshot from the site speedtest.net/ru
Let's decipher this data:
- ping– this is the period of time during which information (network data packet) from your computer reaches the server and returns to you. Ping is measured in thousandths of a second - milliseconds (ms, ms). The smaller it is, the better;
- receiving speed– that is, the download speed, in Mbit/s;
- transmission speed– upload speed, transferring data from your computer to another computer. Also measured in Mbit/s. Naturally, the higher the transmission speed and receiving speed, the better.
Additionally, you can test the quality of your Internet connection. Another service of this company is designed for this - Pingtest. We will talk about it and ping checking in more detail in the next article.
In the meantime, use Speedtest to monitor and check the speed of your Internet connection. And if there is a significant discrepancy with the declared speed of the tariff, feel free to contact your provider with a demand to correct the problem and provide you with the promised speed.
Don't forget about other options for speeding up the Internet, for example by.
Good luck and fast Internet!
We have other interesting articles!
The scheme is outrageously simple: Turn on the timer and upload the file to the server. Then from there our downloaded file. We divide the resulting loading and unloading time by the file size. The result will show the speed of our Internet.
Of course, no one uses a stopwatch now. To do this, there are a whole bunch of online services for checking Internet speed.
But there are a number of nuances that should be taken into account. Namely: the distance to the server to which we will actually send our file. The fact is that the further this server is geographically located, the longer the signal will take to reach. Therefore, the Internet speed (in our general understanding) will be different. Before starting testing, I recommend that you clearly define for yourself what exactly and what parameter you want to measure.
- Ping This is the length of time during which one Internet signal packet travels from your computer to the server and returns back. Why is ping measured? In theory, ping shows the maximum signal transmission speed that can be obtained in this case. In other words, it shows the maximum possible speed of your Internet when transmitting information to a specific server. Therefore, the lower this indicator (lower ping), the better.
- File download speed. Shows the time spent transmitting data to the server.
- File download (upload) speed. Shows the time required to upload a file to .
Here you need to take into account a very important nuance: the download speed can differ greatly from the file upload speed. This depends, first of all, on your provider. And what type of internet he uses.
For reference. There are two main types: symmetric Internet and asymmetric Internet. In a symmetric Internet, the speed of data transmission to the server is equal to the speed of receiving data from the server. In asymmetric, the speed of transmission and reception of information can be different. As a rule, asymmetric Internet is widely practiced by mobile and satellite providers. When, for example, you can download a file at “normal” speed, but in order to send it you have to wait “half a day.”
- Distance to the test server (in theory, the closer the better)
- Ping (the lower the better)
- File download speed (the faster the better)
- File download speed (the lower the better)
Greetings, dear readers of the blog site! Today, in order to check the speed of the Internet, it is not at all necessary to be an advanced expert in high technology. All you need to do is use an online service where you can determine your Internet connection speed with a simple click of a button. There are a sufficient number of such services on the Internet that check the Internet connection online.
The average user, as a rule, does not attach much importance to the speed of the Internet connection. By and large, the most important thing is that the necessary files (movies, music, documents, etc.) are uploaded and downloaded as quickly as possible. But if any delays or failures in the Internet connection begin to occur, any of us begins to get nervous.
The lack of Internet speed at the moment has a particular impact on the nerves. creating a website or blog yourself(I’m talking about myself and “my high-speed” Internet connection).
Of course, the speed of data transfer on the Internet depends on many factors. And all these nuances are negotiated with the Internet provider, with whom an agreement is concluded to provide them with network access services. But providers often do not fulfill their obligations, and the actual data transfer speed is much lower than provided for in the contract. And most users simply do not know how to check their Internet connection, or rather, its speed.
To begin, to conduct an Internet speed test, disable, if possible, all network programs (including antivirus programs). Check the network connection status.
View network activity.
My computer – network – Show network connections- choose State working network connection.
If in the window State There is active data transfer (digital values change quickly), check that all programs are disabled. If so, you may have a virus. Then first treat your computer with some antivirus program ( You can also use a free antivirus program).
After these steps, you can measure your Internet speed using the online services listed below.
Checking Internet speed on Yandex Internet.
Perhaps the most “Spartan” online service where you can measure Internet speed is Yandex Internet.
But, despite its simplicity, Yandex performs a speed test in a very original and high-quality manner. It is enough to go to its service to check the Internet speed - Yandex will immediately determine your IP address, browser, screen extension of your computer and what region you are from.
Next, to measure the Internet speed in Yandex, click on the “ruler” button and after the Internet connection test is completed, you can view detailed information. Where the download speed and download speed will be indicated. And as a souvenir, when the Internet speed test is over, you can take with you the HTML code of the banner to insert it into your blog or website.
How to determine Internet connection speed using the Speedtest.net service
This is one of the most popular online services, where many will simply enjoy measuring Internet speed. The service, promoted in RuNet, has an attractive design, and checking the Internet speed on this resource is a pleasure. After measuring and testing the Internet connection speed, speedtest presents a report in the form of a banner, which shows the download speed data from the network and the transfer data that comes from the user’s computer.
Just like in Yandesk, this banner can be placed on your website or blog. In addition, on the online service you can take the script of the miniature Speedtest Mini module and install it on your website or blog. Then anyone can measure the Internet speed directly on your website. And perhaps the most attractive product is Speedtest Mobile. This is an application for mobile devices running Android and iOS.
