Bandwidth Test

This Bandwidth Test is 100% free and will help you determine your real throughput when surfing the net. It is also a great way to test your voip connection, broadband TV and much more. This service also has an testing option for large corporations with large bandwidth such as a t3 or greater.

Bandwidth Speed Test

Find out if you are getting the bandwidth you're really paying for! Simply take the average of three speed tests and compare them to the table below to help calculate your current bandwidth.

BANDWIDTH	TECHNOLOGY
466.56Mbps	oc9 - This is just under the OC9
274Mbps	T4 - This is just under the OC9
155Mbps	OC3 - Bandwidth at 3 times the rate of an OC-1.
45Mbps	T3 - transmission link capacity of 28 T1 lines!
34Mbps	E3 - carries 16 E1 signals w rate of 34.368Mbps.
10Mbps	Ethernet - LAN offering a throughput of 10/100 Mbps.
6.3Mbps	T2 - Equivalent of 94 voice channels or 4 T1 channels.
3Mbps	Cable Modem - Broadband connection for homes.
2Mbps	E1 - European T1 counterpart which transmits at 2.048Mbps.
1.5Mbps	DSL/T1 - Digital Subscriber Line w capacity of 1.544 Mbps.
400kbps	Satellite Broadband - high-speed connection satellites.
128kbps	ISDN - $$ high-speed dial-up connection to the Internet.
56kbps	56k Modem - still used by home users without broadband.
28kbps	28k Modem - Used for dial up internet access in rural areas.
14.4kbps	Hardly used, often for remote device control such as lights.

Bandwidth Speedtest

There are a whole host of conditions that can have an impact on your bandwidth, such as other programs running in the background, VOIP and other communications. To obtain the best results, make sure that you temporarily stop and unnecessary bandwidth consuming applications.

Performing a bandwidth test is the first step to determine if your internet service provider is really delivering the throughput that you are paying for, but before you challenge your service provider, make sure that you have tested on more than one site!

There are hundreds of tests out there and just because a site happens to be the most popular does not mean they provide the most accurate bandwidth measurements! There is only so much bandwidth per server and on many servers, the more users visiting, the less accurate the results.

Not only should you perform a bandwidth speed test with multiple sites, but you should also make a point to test at three different times during in a 24 hour period.

One of the best ways to find out if a server has the necessary bandwidth is to find out of they have a Fiber Optics OC3 Network, OC3 Data, OC3 OC12, or OC3 Cable. If the connection is slow, a T1 for example, then the results will never be higher than the site you are testing your bandwidth from.

The internet is made up of complex physical connections that go up and down, are patched together by who knows what with backup routers that would boggle ones mind. It's amazing it all works and depending on the situation, time and problems at hand, your connection may seem to vary from slow to fast without rhyme or reason. It's difficult to obtain accurate results, but keeping track over a months time should provide fairly accurate results that you can refer to should you need to question your service provider.

Feel free to visit any time!
