From time to time, personal computer users need to know the maximum possible speed of connection or downloading files from the Internet. An agreement with a provider can be used as a source of such information. But it is much easier to find out this value using special services.
Necessary
A computer connected to the Internet
Instructions
Step 1
The speed of the Internet connection is most often interested in in order to calculate the time that a special program will spend to download a certain file.
Step 2
In addition to the contract for the provision of services by a high-speed connection provider, it is recommended to use special services. If in the first case you need to find the above document, in the second, you just need to open your web browser and enter the required web page address.
Step 3
Launch any web browser installed on your system and open a new tab by clicking on the plus image or by selecting the appropriate item in the context menu of the current tab. Enter the following URL https://speed-tester.info and press Enter. On the loaded page, pay attention to the left column, scrolling through which you can see four different tests of the connection speed.
Step 4
Each of these four tests is unique, as they summarize the actual speed that your ISP is providing you with. For example, the first test is the fastest and consists in instantly receiving a small file. The second test is characterized by receiving large batches of files, etc. As a result, you will get the total speed, by the value of which you can judge whether the connection is fast or slow.
Step 5
But this service does not display all the values that might be of interest to the average user. More advanced analysis can be obtained from the following link: https://speedtest.net. On the loaded page, refer to the map and select the city where the central office of your provider is located. After a while, a summary table will appear on the screen, in which the following parameters will be indicated: ping, outgoing and incoming speeds.
