Currently, free online services are very popular, capable of determining the speed of the Internet connection 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 speed of transferring and downloading data to the user's computer.

You do not need to download or install any additional components to complete the test.

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 unreliable facts in order to attract the attention of users and increase its popularity.

A complete package of tools with all the features can be obtained only if you visit the website of the official developer of the service or its partner. This is very important, as an incredible amount of obscene resources have now been created, masquerading as the original.

Global Speed ​​Test SpeedTest

• The Speedtest.net service includes only one page - the main one.

To start testing, there is a special button " Forward » (Start test).

The final result is issued 30 seconds after the program is launched for execution.

He is:

• ping,

• the value of the incoming and outgoing speed Internet connections,

• user location, set to the IP address of the computer from which the site was logged in.

Internet speed results among website users

1. The total number of tests is 6867.
2. The average download speed is 30.13 Mb/s.
3. The average download speed on a PC is 28.31 Mb / s.
4. The average ping value is 29ms.

Particularly demanding users can take advantage of the option to determine the geographic location of the server that will perform the check. For this, 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.

Parameter testing is carried out in real time and looks truly impressive. It provides a visual display of everything that happens - the transfer of data between the specified server and the user's computer, taking into account all the established indicators.

The data handler window contains 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 the issuance of the result and save a person from unnecessary negative emotions about this.

The whole process of determining the real speed of the 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.

Many computer users often experience low internet speeds. If you have connected high high speed internet, and it repeatedly or constantly freezes, then the provider may be the first reason for this. Also, Internet speed can be affected by viruses, browser, and computer problems.

Before deciding what to do to increase the speed of the Internet, you first need to find out its speed at the moment. In this article, we will tell you how to check the Internet speed on a computer with windows 7, and with other operating systems, so that later you can fully express your claim to the provider.

Internet speed test with Speedtest.net

The most convenient and more accurate site for checking Internet speed is considered to be speedtest.net

But before you start checking, find out the Internet speed declared by the provider, most often they indicate the speed “up to”, for example, up to 100 Mb / seconds. It’s worth saying right away that this is a lie, you rarely find an Internet that can reach a speed of 100 MG / second (although Rostelecom gives out even more than the speed declared under the contract.

In this case, the declared speed is 50Mb, and as you can see in the screenshot, the receiving speed is really higher), but our task will be to check if there is at least 2-3 Mb / s, which will be enough to start music or video more or less quickly.

• 1 . We go to the site at the link speedtest.net.
• 2 . Click on the "Start test" button or if you have an English version of the site "Begin Test".
• 3 . After pressing the button, the Internet speed test will begin. You don't need to do anything, the program will check itself. It is advisable to disable all processes that load the Internet, as they may affect the final results. The verification process will take from a few seconds to a minute.
• 4 . In the end, you will see ping (Ping), (a little about Ping itself. Ping (from English ping) is the reaction time of an Internet connection: namely, how quickly a client computer, having sent a request, receives a response from the server. Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms, ms), and of course, the less ping the better . The ideal value is up to 40 ms, higher is already a bad Ping, which leads to “Freezing” of network applications). Download Speed ​​and Upload Speed. The main thing is to find out the receiving speed, if it is 5 Mb / second, then this speed should be enough. Our task is to verify real speed Internet with the declared provider. If they do not match even close, then you need to urgently contact the provider, or change it to another one.

Internet speed check via 2ip.ru

If you want to fully verify the speed of your Internet, you can use another site 2ip. But be aware that both sites presented can be slightly wrong, so count the average number after checking the speed.

• 1 . Go to the site using the link.
• 2 . On the left side of the screen, click on the "Internet connection speed" button in the "Tests" field.
• 3 . On the page that opens, check if your location and Internet provider are indicated correctly. If all the data match, click on the blue "Test" button.
• 4 . Wait a few seconds while the program counts the Internet speed.
• 5 . After verification, a page will open in which your IP, provider, site, ping and time will be written. Just below the green numbers indicate the speed of your Internet.
  As already mentioned, both services check in their own way and in different time. If Speedtest had 2 MG/sec and 2ip had 1 MG/sec, then the average test speed would be 1.5 MG.

Yandex. Internet meter - Internet speed test

Ours has many good and useful services, including checking the speed of the Internet. We follow this link - yandex.ru/internet, and press the button "Measure"

Now you know how to check the Internet speed on a computer. If you want to always know the current Internet speed, you can download a special program to your computer. But such programs have a minus - they slow down the computer and the Internet connection a little. Therefore, it is up to you to decide whether you need such a program on your computer or not!

When buying the services of a provider, we hope that the speed of the Internet connection will be exactly the same as specified in the contract. Well, or almost like that. However, in practice, it extremely rarely corresponds to numbers on paper, because it is influenced by a lot of factors - from network congestion to the state of the client device - a computer, smartphone, tablet or Smart TV. In addition, in the contract, the provider indicates the maximum, and not the actual connection speed. However, if the latter is constantly and much lower than the former, the quality of the service can be called into question.

To control the work of the provider and just be aware of the real speed of the Internet, you need to know how to determine it. Thankfully there is a large number of special software and free web services, which we will get acquainted with today. But let's start with what opportunities the Windows operating system has in this regard. And also find out how to get the most reliable result.

Built-in Windows features

The easiest and fastest way to see the current Internet connection speed is in the task manager on the "Performance" tab. If the network is weakly loaded, the graph in the "Bandwidth" window will be low; if it is strong, the window will be almost completely filled with it, and the speed shown in the upper right corner will approach what is indicated in the contract with the provider. That should be the norm. If, with a heavy network load, the speed remains low, it means that an obstacle has arisen somewhere. But where is it - with you or with him?

To find out the maximum achievable (in theory) Internet speed within specific type connections, open the "Network Connections" folder and select the "Status" section in the context menu of your network.

The information you need is on the General tab.

The actual speed is usually 2-3 times lower than the maximum. By the way, when transferring data via Wi-Fi and via cable, it can differ significantly.

Let's say you have determined that the Internet on your computer should be faster. The next task is to find out who is to blame for the slowdown - your devices or the provider.

How to manually test your Internet connection speed

To get the most reliable result, you need to check the Internet speed on the computer to which the provider's network cable is connected. If it is not possible to insert the cable directly into the computer, for example, if it only supports wireless connections or linking the connection to the MAC address of the router, disconnect all other devices from the Internet during the check.

• Prepare a 1 GB file and select any cloud web service to which you will upload it, for example, Yandex Disk or Google Drive. It is important that the service does not limit the speed of uploading and downloading content.
• Close all programs that use the network and the Internet to unload the channel as much as possible.
• Disable VPN and proxy clients unless they are required to establish access to the WAN.
• Record the time and start uploading the file to the cloud server. Mark the end time of the download.
• Under time control, download the file back to the PC.

Knowing the file size in megabytes and the number of seconds it took to transfer it, you can easily calculate the Internet speed in Mbps. If it is close to that specified in the contract, then the provider will fulfill its obligations to you, and the reason for the slowdown is in your devices. If not, then vice versa.

For those of you who don't want to do the math, you can test your Internet speeds using the methods below. For reliability, we advise you to check several times within an hour.

Web services

Checking the speed of the Internet using the 2ip service is as easy as shelling pears: press the "Test" button and wait 1-2 minutes.

In addition to ping indicators, as well as incoming and outgoing speeds, 2ip allows you to find out:

• Average internet speed in your city.
• Average speed indicators among subscribers of your provider.
• The best tests for all providers for the current day.
• The total number of measurements across all providers.

Such a kind of benchmark. Below on the page is a table of the last ten measurements.

By the way, as of the date of the audit, none of the largest leaders in the provider services market in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan - Rostelecom, ByFly, Ukrtelecom, Kazakhtelecom, MTS, Beeline, Akado, Iota, Dom.ru, Citylink and TTK, did not record holder. The first places were taken by small and not too well-known companies.

And further. If you have something to tell about the services of your Internet provider to other users, you can leave a review about it on the site.

- Another simple free service of a similar purpose. To start the test, just click the "Start" button. The result will be displayed on the screen in a couple of minutes.

By the way, if you register for Speedtest (it's also free), you can save the test results in your account and share links to them with other users.

In addition to a web service accessible online through a browser from any device, SpeedTest exists as an application for stationary (Windows, Mac OS X) and mobile (iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Amazon) platforms.

Yandex.Internetometer

The Yandex.Internetometer service determines the speed of incoming and outgoing connections without ping. However, in addition to this, he shows detailed information about your internet connection, operating system and the browser in which you launched the check. The only pity is that benchmarks and the ability to save test results are not provided here.

To start the test, click the "Measure" button. The result, like that of competitors, appears on the screen in 1-2 minutes.

It is very reminiscent of the set of functions of the service of the same name in the “ru” domain and differs from it only in the design style. In addition to the Internet speed test button, this resource contains a rating of Ukrainian providers and indicators of the last 20 checks.

For users with Russian IPs, the 2ip.ua site opens in Russian, for residents of Ukraine - in Ukrainian.

To start testing, click the "Test" button. The result will be displayed after the same time as the others.

Banki.ru

Banki.ru uses 2 tests provided by the telecommunications company Wellink. One of them is the traditional check of the response time (ping), incoming and outgoing Internet speeds, the second is checking the quality of online video viewing. As a result of testing, the service displays brief description your connection: how quickly a new movie series will open, how long it will take to download an album and upload a photo to a social network, what video quality is optimal for your connection, whether the picture will freeze when watching videos through a browser.

Using the service on Banki.ru is no different from the rest.

Free programs to test the speed of the Internet on PC and mobile devices

If you use the above services several times in a row, you will notice that the indicators bandwidth The Internet will always be different. This is normal, but not entirely informative, especially when the connection is intermittent. Applications, unlike web services, allow you to monitor network traffic continuously. And this is their main advantage.

NetTraffic for Windows

The utility, available in installation and portable versions, is a small window that constantly hangs in the corner of the screen, where the connection speed is displayed in real time.

In addition to current data, it collects traffic statistics for user-specified time intervals. Can monitor multiple network interfaces at the same time.

TMeter for Windows

- a more advanced Internet traffic control tool than the previous utility, but also very simple to understand and use. In addition to speed parameters, it collects statistics about the IP addresses of visited resources, ports, protocols, etc.

Tmeter has a built-in firewall and traffic distributor (traffic shaper) between devices local network. These functions become available if the program is running on a computer that is used as a gateway for other devices to connect to the Internet.

The utility is designed to monitor the entire flow of information passing through the network adapter, including the data transfer rate. Initially, it is in English, but a crack has been released for it (available on the download page), which is enough to copy to the folder with the executable file or program archive.

NetworkTrafficView works without installation and does not require special settings. Connection data is displayed as a table in the main and only window of the utility.

Internet Speed ​​Test for Android

The mobile application "Internet Speed ​​Test" is not only stylishly designed, but also very functional. In addition to collecting the main speed characteristics of Wi-Fi and 2 / 3G networks, it displays the delay time for sending packets, allows you to select a test server (its availability and remoteness affect performance), accumulates statistics and publishes the results of checks on social networks.

The application is also convenient because it supports even very old versions of Android.

Meteor - speed test for Android

Meteor - speed test - one of the few mobile applications, which received the highest user rating - 4.8 points. It not only shows the real speed of the Internet connection, but also determines how fast popular network programs will work with the current connection quality. These programs include clients social networks, browsers, Gmail, YouTube, Skype, WhatsApp, Wase, Google Maps, service Uber taxi etc. There are 16 different applications in total.

Other advantages of Meteor are that it supports all types of network connections, including 4G, and does not contain ads.

Speed ​​Test - Check Internet Speed ​​/ Speed ​​TEST

Here you can easily, quickly and free of charge check the speed of your DSL connection. Click on "Start Test" below. The test usually starts within a few seconds.

DSL Speedtest / Internet Test / Speed ​​TEST

For DSL Speed ​​Test Please note the following: the result is not always accurate, the speed test always depends on various factors. Therefore, the measurement should only be interpreted as a guide.

Please keep other internet applications closed during the measurement, otherwise the speedtest result will be inaccurate.

How to measure it?

During internet speed testing, a test file is loaded in your browser. After about 10 seconds, we check how much data was loaded. With reference to the download time of the data, the approximate speed of the DSL (internet) can be determined. It is important that the server that contains the test file must be fast. We rely on a separate high performance server so that the result is as accurate as possible.

Internet Speed ​​Test / DSL Speed ​​TEST

Click in the bottom field on "Start Test" to initialize the speed test (speedtest). Make sure no other apps will be accessing the internet during the internet speed test.

How to start the Internet traffic speed test:

Click on the "Start Test" button in the box above to start the internet speed test. The test will then start and it usually takes a few seconds to complete. After completing the speedtest, you will be given the option to test again on another server that is closer to your current location. What do you need to use the speed test?:

To use the site, all you need is a modern web browser that supports HTML5. Supported Browsers: Chrome 44, Opera 31, Firefox 40, Edge, Safari 8.0, Edge 13, Safari 9.0, Chrome 42, Opera 29, Chrome 40, Opera 26, Chrome 36, Firefox 35, Firefox 37, Chrome 28, Firefox 28, Firefox 18, Safari 7.0, Opera 12.10, Internet Explorer 11, Safari 6.0, Internet Explorer 10, Safari 5.1, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 8. You don't need to install any software to use the site and it runs entirely in your browser on Windows, Mac OS X, Android and Linux. A small difference of 10-15% is normal, because the speed test may not be accurate (depending on the server load, you may get different results cgblntcn). If the difference exceeds 30%, then measure the speed a little later or try checking it on another server (link above). Some ISPs offer their own speed tests.

We do not take any responsibility for the results of the Internet Speed ​​Test as the accuracy of the test depends on many factors.

DSL Speed ​​Test

How does the DSL Speed ​​Test work in detail?

Speed ​​Test is a program available on a web server. When running a speed test using a web browser, the web server first caches one or more files in the user's browser cache. If multiple files are used, they are designed with different size and with different compression. When transferring data, perhaps the first measurement is the download speed. Subsequently, the data is transmitted back to the web server so that the effectiveness of the downloaded files can be determined. As a rule, the data transfer speed of downloads is much worse than that of downloads.

What limitations should be considered in the measurement results?

However, it should be noted that the results of a single measurement are not very significant. In parallel with the current measurement, other processes are running in the network that can affect the speed. Therefore, you should make sure that there are no more data transfers on the network during the test. In particular, only one computer on the network should be active. Only one browser instance should be running and other activities should be avoided on this computer. It is also necessary to ensure that neither the antivirus nor the other program is updated at the time of testing. When all these things are taken into account, it is still necessary to perform several measurements at different times in order to find a universal value for the DSL speed test results. If you have taken several measurements, you can easily determine the average of the measurements as the actual transfer rate for the DSL connection.

DSL and Wi-Fi(WLAN)

The speed test has a lot of fluctuation if you are using Wi-Fi for this. Because an internal WLAN can be affected by various factors in its performance capabilities. Often located in cities, many wireless networks are in conflict with each other, especially when they need to operate on the same frequency. If you want to have good and meaningful results for your DSL speed test, you should try to connect with a wired network to the Internet. If necessary, you will be successful even if you can make sure that your own wireless network has a frequency that is different from all other wireless networks in the area.
