Share your Internet speed test results with your friends 3. Review the test results. Download (Mbps) - The maximum speed you are able to download files per second Upload (Mbps) - The maximum speed you are able to upload files per second Ping (ms) - The amount of time your Internet connection responds to a request.

  4. Remember, you could not count on only one test to conclude that your Internet speed is low or fast. It is recommended to test your speed multiple times to ensure more accurate results. One of the most interesting features of MySpeed is that it records all your Internet speed test results in history, making it easier for you to keep track of your speed, average results, and have some proper measures for improvement. Internet speed test on MySpeed Manually check on Internet Speed on Windows Keep in mind that in order to check your Internet speed from your computer's settings, you need to have your computer connected to your router via Ethernet cable. Click on the “Start” button at the bottom-left corner of the screen. Click on “Setting” (Gear button)

  5. Choose Network & Internet. Click Ethernet on the left side of the screen. Next, Change adapter options (upper-right side). Double-click the Ethernet. You'll see the speed value. The number here is "1.0 Gbps"), which represents the speed of the connection between your computer and the router.

  6. Manually do an Internet speed test on Windows Measure Internet Speed. How? Internet speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps or Mb in short).” One megabit is equal to 1,024 kilobits. Mbps refers to how fast your internet connection enables you to download and upload files. The higher the number of Mbps is, the faster your Internet speed. High-speed Internet connection, as known as broadband (broad bandwidth) is defined by download speeds of at least 768 Kbps and upload speeds of at least 200 Kbps. If you want to know whether you’re getting high-speed connection or not, the simplest way is run an Internet speed test.

  7. The downstream bandwidth is measured as soon as you first connect to the Internet and is usually is higher than the upstream bandwidth since most people download more data than uploading. How to run an Internet speed test Reasons to conduct a wired test Have you ever wondered the speed that you get is not as fast as it is promised? If yes, conduct a speed test from a device connected to your router with an Ethernet cable. Why an Ethernet cable? As it is more consistent than a wifi connection in terms of providing internet service directly from the source. For instance, your wired internet speed test shows you’re getting around 40 Mbps while you paid for the speeds of 100 Mbps, then you know what to do next? Yes, contact your internet service provider and report them that problem. Reasons to conduct a Wireless Test If you want to test how strong your network in different parts of your home is, you should run a speed test from a device connected to your home’s WiFi network.

  8. The closer the distance between your device and your router is, the stronger the wireless connections. First, position yourself closest to the router and run the Internet speed test. Next, go to the place farthest from your router and run a speed test from a mobile device connected to your WiFi network. If you see no big difference in speed test results, no matter where you’re in, that means your router is in a good location. But if the speed sees a dramatical inconsistency when you move further from the router, consider upgrading your router or setting up a WiFi range extender for a better connection. Conclusion That’s it! We’ve walked you through simple steps to run an Internet speed test. So every time you experience slow internet speed, don’t be offended. Instead, consider it a sign to make some changes to better your site’s performance. You may also like... Website test: Why Website Loading Speed Matters?
