If you need to find out the actual speed of the Internet connection, it would be most correct to check on your computer or mobile device, since the information from the provider may turn out to be unreliable. As a tool for determining the speed of receiving and transmitting data, you should use specialized online resources.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most popular sites for this purpose is www.speedtest.net. Open the site, but do a little prep work before checking it out. The fact is that some services and applications can run in the background using an Internet channel. The most basic of them are: antivirus program, torrent client, Windows automatic update service. Disable all such programs and services, and only after that start checking the speed - this way you will get a value that is as close to reality as possible.
Step 2
To start the procedure for determining the speed, press the "Start test" button and wait until the result is shown to you. After completing the check, you will find out the Ping rate (the lower the better), the download speed and the upload speed. The last two metrics are your real internet connection speed. The higher these values, the faster the pages will open in the browser, download programs, films, and the more comfortable (without pauses) watching online videos will be.
Step 3
If you need to know the connection speed on your mobile device, for example, iPad, iPhone, HTC, Samsung, etc. (iOs and Android), you can install a special application on your device, which can be downloaded on the same website in the “Mobility »Or in the online stores AppStore and Android Market. After installing such an application, you can check the speed of receiving and transmitting data on your tablet or phone and find out if the speed declared by the provider in the 2G or 3G network corresponds to the actual indicators.
