Quite often, users of personal computers, being on the Internet, may encounter an unexpected and incomprehensible slowdown, and in order to find out what the problem is, special software will be needed.
Quite often, it happens that the Internet does not match the speed declared by the provider itself. For example, if this speed is 40 Mbps, but you cannot watch videos or download files on the Internet. In this case, users should find out what, in fact, the problem is, and understand what the Internet speed is at the moment.
Of course, to find out what the reason is, the user will need special software. Fortunately, you don't have to download and install anything directly from the Internet. Fortunately, today there are quite a few special online services that allow you to check the speed.
