Since bandwidth speed is traditionally measured in BITs per second, we need to multiply this by 8. So for this test we were getting 6, kbps or 6. Windows 7 and up users can just hold down the Windows key and press R to get the Run dialog. Windows does not have the curl command installed, so we will need to use FTP. Meanwhile, someone living in a one or two-person apartment who just checks email and occasionally watches a show on Netflix will need far less.
For more information, be sure to check out our guide to determining how much internet speed you need. Though there are a variety of different internet speed tests available online, they all essentially operate in the same basic way.
In essence, when you begin the test, our tool will upload a set of files from your network to the test server nearest your location. It will then perform the same test in reverse, downloading the set of files from the server instead. Throughout the process, our tool measures a variety of data points, including the speeds of both your upload and download.
Despite how useful this information can be, you will find that the speeds you see reported will almost always be a bit lower than you might have expected. These variations are to be expected, and for the most accurate results, we recommend running the test times back to back to get a solid average. There are 1 billion bits in a Gigabit Gb. Bytes A byte is a common unit of measurement for determining how large a particular piece of data is. Each byte contains 8 bits. Since bits are such a small unit of measurement, it makes more sense to use bytes when discussing file sizes.
There are 1 billion bytes in a Gigabyte GB. Transfer Rate Simply put, transfer rate refers to how quickly data is transferred between two or more devices. Transfer rates are commonly described using a bits-per-second measurement. Kbps Kilobits per second.
Only the slowest connections are measured this way. Mbps Megabits per second. The most common unit of measurement for modern internet connections.
There is no Java, no Flash, and no other plugin. The test runs for 20 seconds, and then automatically stops. To restart the test, refresh the web page. This is a real world speed test. Unlike other speed tests that require third party applications, TestMy. This makes TMN's speed test more sensitive to browser misconfiguration and is an excellent way to highlight performance differences between web browsers.
Less between you and the test is a good thing. Our competitors speed tests that run through flash or java have a higher CPU overhead and users report throughput bursting. Our results are unbiased because TMN has no vested interest in the outcome of your speed test. We work for the Internet consumers not the Internet providers. For this reason our servers are hosted outside of all provider networks, in locations where the websites you visit are hosted.
Our bandwidth providers are the biggest names in the industry and our servers are hosted directly on some of the largest trunks that make up the Internet. Your ISP should be able to deliver clean, useable bandwidth to these common areas of the Internet. Render: 0. As a result, you may see very different results from repeated tests. To get an accurate picture of how your connection is performing, first make sure you apply any tips you find here, then test several times at once, and at different times of the day.
You should also continually monitor your connection across a period of weeks to watch for any ongoing trends or problems. Average Ping measures the round-trip time in milliseconds for a packet to travel from the PC being tested to seven Web sites and back; lower numbers indicate better performance. Ping Loss indicates what percent of the packets sent did not return; ideally this should be zero, indicating that all the packets were returned.
Ping times and losses can vary greatly depending on the speed and quality of your Internet connection, congestion on the Internet, and the load being handled by the PC Matic server. In general, ping times under ms are typical of T1, DSL, or cable modems. Consistent ping times of more than ms should only be seen in connections that span continents e.
Ping losses usually indicate Internet congestion. The Bandwidth measurement is, in simple terms, the transmission speed or throughput of your connection to the Internet. However, measuring bandwidth can be tricky, since the lowest bandwidth point between your computer and the site you're looking at determines the effective transmission speed at any moment.
Our tests measure the Internet bandwidth between your computer and PC Matic's servers. However, since Internet performance can be erratic and you can't expect to get nominal bandwidth every time you test, you should test several times, and at different times of the day, to get the most accurate rating.
Internet bandwidth is, in simple terms, the transmission speed or throughput of your connection to the Internet. The tests referenced on this page address the first issue, and measure the Internet bandwidth between your computer and PC Matic's servers. Of course, the response time of our site will always be wonderful The differences between our Download and Upload tests aren't as obvious as they may initially seem. Yes, the basic difference is the direction of the data transfer: Simply put, the Download test measures your connection speed for viewing Web pages; the upload test measures the speed for maintaining them--or sending data over your connection.
However, the rated upload and download speeds may not be the same for your connection. Some connections, such as 33K and lower, are "symmetric," meaning the rated upload and download times should be the same.
This means the upload and download times won't necessarily be the same; upload times are generally not as fast as download times. For instance, the rated speeds for ADSL are 1.
Cable modems are typically rated at 1. Occasionally, you may even see opposite results, especially on cable modems during the evening hours.
