I have long wanted to write about this application, but somehow my hands did not reach. Therefore, I hasten to fill the gap. Today we will talk about a simple and very useful program for measuring the speed of an Internet connection - speedtest.net.

So, as the name of the application implies, it is a web service client for iPhone, which allows you to measure the speed of an Internet connection on a computer. The program interface is unpretentious, simple and clear. Actually, this is a speedometer that displays the current connection speed. After downloading and transferring the test data packets, the average measurement results are displayed - separately for downloading and for transferring.

In the configuration options, you can choose the units of measurement for speed, how the history of results is sorted, and also determine the location of the test server. Although the program itself can determine your location (if you allow it) and contact the nearest server.

How reliable are the measurement results? Based on the experience of use, I concluded that the results are quite reliable, they are quite enough for everyday tasks.

The disadvantage of the program (at least on my iPhone 3G) is next moment. When you enter the application, data is transferred for some time (the daisy is spinning in the upper status bar), then the inscription appears Start Test(start the test), but the "chamomile" is still spinning for a while. So, if you start the test at this moment, the program goes a little crazy - it immediately completes the test, but does not display the results. If you press the button Test Again(repeat the test), then the speedometer needle starts to twitch convulsively, no measurements take place. Therefore, before starting the test, it is imperative to wait until the “chamomile” in the status bar disappears. This disadvantage is not particularly annoying, you just need to keep it in mind.

Otherwise, the "iPhone" version of the speedtest.net service is very good, I highly recommend it. Oh, I forgot to say, the app is free.

It's no secret that the Internet has become a big part of our lives. Using different services on your iPhone, you always want the fastest internet.

Having bought a brand new iPhone, you always want all the best, including the Internet. Therefore, today I will tell you how you can check the speed of the Internet directly on your iPhone.

In fact, the test is not too different from the test on any computer. First of all, you need to download a program such as Speedtest to your device.

It is this utility that tests of this kind is most often carried out. Once you have installed, run the program. Pressing the big button Start verification.


Speed ​​is usually measured in two metrics: Receipt And Data transfer. These indicators directly depend on your operator, server, type of Internet (3G or LTE) and of course the quality of the signal at the time of the test.

Comparison. To compare results with different signals, you can always on the application tab with the name results. Everything is scheduled by dates and there are all the necessary indicators.

Server. In the application, during testing, the best option is always automatically selected. But if you want to change it, then just go to the tab Settings — Change server and choose the one you need.


That's essentially the whole test, there is nothing difficult, absolutely any iPhone user will cope with this task.

If you want to somehow increase the Internet speed of your device, then it is likely that something does not suit you and you want to change it programmatically.


Programs that would do this procedure simply do not exist. Therefore, I recommend trying to change your browser, perhaps it is in it.

In many cases, if you have an older iPhone, this will the only way somehow influence the situation. Device modems are different, as well as RAM with the processor, which also affect page loading speed.

I will not praise each browser or do reviews on each of them. I'll just give you the top three that people use the most on their smartphones:

• Safari;
• Google Chrome;
• Yandex browser.

Most often, the choice of browser is the same as the browser on the computer, since it is possible to synchronize all your passwords and tabs. But some like to experiment, which is always welcome too.

There are many more great browsers you can find. Each user has different needs, so just use each of them for at least a couple of days and you will immediately feel the difference.

conclusions

Now you know how you can check the speed of your Internet on absolutely any iPhone. Regarding the increase in speed, I also said my opinion.

Draw conclusions, maybe it's time to think about changing your smartphone or just a mobile operator.
