When choosing a provider and connecting to the Internet, each subscriber wants to be able to quickly access the World Wide Web. But what if the Internet speed, in your opinion, does not correspond to what is specified in the tariff plan and you suspect that the line is damaged, or even worse, the provider does not provide you with services in the specified volume? In this case, you should check the quality of the connection and, if it turns out to be poor, take appropriate measures.

Internet connection quality

The quality or speed of the Internet connection is one of important characteristics, which is worth paying attention to when choosing a tariff plan. It determines how quickly pages and files from the Internet will load, and whether you can launch your favorite online game or not.

Essentially, this is the time during which information is exchanged between your computer and other servers on the World Wide Web. This value is measured in megabits per second; less often you can find values ​​​​indicated in kilobits.

Unfortunately, the numbers specified in the contract do not always coincide with the real ones, so special tests should be carried out periodically and if the obtained values ​​diverge significantly from those indicated, contact your Internet provider.

Test mechanism

Analysis on all services follows the same principle. You go to the site and request a speed test. Your computer automatically sends a package of documents to the server, using the line of your provider. After receiving the files, the program sends them back to the computer. In this case, the volume of the packet and the time spent on its receipt and transmission are recorded.

Based on the data received, the following information is displayed:

  1. Ping is the time spent sending data on a computer network from client to server and vice versa. Usually measured in milliseconds.
  2. The transfer rate at which your computer transfers data. It is measured in megabits per second, less often in kilobytes.
  3. The receiving rate at which your computer receives data. Also measured in megabits per second.

How to find out the Internet speed?

You can check your Internet speed from Rostelecom using various services. For testing, you should select a site that you trust, and also disable all programs for downloading files, instant messaging clients such as Skype, ICQ and others, since their work significantly affects the analysis results. In addition, it is recommended to check several times during the day, or even several, in order to draw the right conclusions regarding Internet speed.

Using Speedtest

One of the most accurate is the speed test from the Speedtest service. The check is quite easy. To do this you should:

Upon completion of the test, you will find out the speed of receiving and transmitting data in megabits per second, as well as ping.

Using the official Rostelecom service

Rostelecom also offers its customers a free Internet connection speed check. True, experts believe that its results are less reliable than those obtained when testing using Speedtest.

To measure you should follow these steps:


  • ping, measured in milliseconds;
  • incoming and outgoing speed in megabits per second.

Other testing methods

If the test results do not satisfy you, you can also find out the quality of your Internet connection using other equally well-known services, such as:

  • speed-tester.info;
  • 2ip.ru/speed;
  • pr-cy.ru/speed_test_internet;

The principle of their operation is the same as those described above. The only difference is that the first two are designed directly for analyzing the Internet connection, the others provide a number of other features, such as checking IP, website traffic, pages, etc. Therefore, the data obtained with their help is considered less reliable.

Causes of poor connection

The test results showed low speed, but what is the reason? There are several options:

  1. Your computer is infected with a virus that uses the Internet to transmit and receive information.
  2. If you have a Wi-Fi router, then your neighbors may have connected to you.
  3. Your modem has broken down or its settings have gone wrong.
  4. Problems with the cable in the house or apartment (pinched or torn cable, damaged terminals, etc.).
  5. Line problems.
  6. Provider's server load.

What to do?

If the test results are bad, that is, significantly lower than the values ​​​​specified in the contract, then you should definitely take the following steps:

  1. Scan your computer thoroughly using an antivirus program. It is advisable to update it before doing this.
  2. Change the password for the wi-fi router.
  3. Just in case, try connecting another modem (if you have one) and check the integrity of the cable in the apartment.
  4. If all of the above actions do not produce results, you should contact Rostelecom technical support and leave a request to check the equipment and line.

To do this, dial the number 8-800-300-18-00 and tell the operator about the problems that have arisen. He must register your application, which will be reviewed within three days. At the same time, the company’s specialists will not only check your line, but also the equipment, and then provide you with information about the problems found.

In most cases, contacting technical support should solve your problems with your Internet connection. If you do not see a positive result, you should change tariff plan, choosing the one with the lower speed. This way you won’t overpay for the Internet.

For those who not only “surf” sites, but are connected to the network for work or games, the speed of the Internet connection is especially important. Low speed connections can lead, for example, to incorrect updating of charts on exchanges valuable papers or lag in online games. How to check your connection speed? Let's consider several ways.

Checking Internet speed through the command line

You can check the speed of your Internet connection without using any programs or services, using the standard Windows operating system. The manipulations described below may require some basic knowledge of system software, but our instructions will allow you to understand everything more easily and quickly.

To do this you need to do the following:


After this, the process of sending data packets with a size of 32 bytes will be visible on the screen. The main indicator to pay attention to is transfer time. A period of up to 100-150 milliseconds is considered normal.


It is worth remembering that the speed of data transfer to a specific server also depends on the quality of the resource itself. That is, when accessing different sites, the speed and transmission time may change.


How to check connection speed through special services?

To check the Internet speed on your computer, you can use special online services. This is the most accessible and simple method that even inexperienced users can do. There are many verification resources, but we will look at the 2 most popular and, as experience shows, the most accurate.

All of the resources described below can be used both to check speed on laptops and desktop PCs. It also doesn’t matter to them how the connection is made – via cable or via Wi-Fi.

speedtest.net

Perhaps this resource is the most common among users. It has a clear graphical interface, and the verification procedure itself is accompanied by nice animation. Using the service is quite simple:


Clear instructions for online service is given in the following video:


It is important to note that the tariffs of providers always indicate the speed of receiving data, not their upload. The second indicator, as a rule, is always lower than the first, but this is not so critical and does not matter for you as a user.

2ip.ru

This site is multifunctional and provides access to various services that in one way or another relate to the Internet. Among them there is connection speed testing. To open the test, go to the “Tests” tab and find “Internet connection speed” in the list:


This site also implies the ability to select a server, but if you do not specify it, the system itself will select for you the most optimal option, in its opinion. To start the test, click the “Test” button located at the bottom of the active window:


On average, the check takes a few minutes, and the result is displayed in the following form:


Thus, in a matter of minutes you can find out the speed of your Internet connection without using any complex programs or manipulations.

Remember that when connecting via Wi-Fi, the connection speed will be slightly lower than when connecting directly. cable connection. This is due to limitations of the equipment itself.

Checking Internet speed using Torrent

There is another way to check your Internet speed. To do this, you will need to download any torrent client if it is not on your computer. After that, in the list of trackers you need to find any file, the distribution of which is carried out by more than 1000 users, and the number of downloaders is minimal. This is the file that needs to be loaded.

After the download starts, about 2-5 minutes should pass for the speed to reach its peak. It is this indicator that will be an indicator of the download speed, that is, the receipt of packet data. Usually it is equal to the one indicated by providers.


It is worth noting that torrents use kilobytes and megabytes as the main units of measurement. To convert data into kilobits and megabits, which are used by providers, you need to multiply them by 8. That is, with a download speed of 1 megabyte/sec, the Internet speed will be 8 megabit/sec.

The Internet has long become a real necessity for many users and its speed is far from the most last role, so it is important to monitor its stability. The methods described above will allow you to simply find out the speed of your connection, and if any problems arise, you can quickly begin to fix them.

Learn how to correctly measure the speed of your Internet connection. What resources can you use to correctly check the Internet, what parameters should you look at, and how to determine whether the result in front of you is good.

I’ll definitely tell you about Megabit and Megabyte, they are often confused, and I’ll also tell you what ping is and why people often get kicked out of online games because of it. In general, I will show in detail how to find out the Internet speed on a computer.

Introduction

Hello everyone, today I decided to write an article that will allow me to qualitatively analyze the speed of my Internet connection. You can find a lot of materials from different sources, where one way or another it is shown where to go and what numbers to look at. But now you have repeated all this on your computer, you have seen numbers, large or small, with different units of measurement.

You sit, look at them, sometimes even rejoice, but what do these data mean? It was displayed to you, for example: Input - 10 Mbit/s, Output - 5 Mbit/s, Ping - 14 and what next, is this good for you, or if you honestly look at it, then you will say that these numbers have nothing to do with you do not speak? And in most cases, everything is exactly like this, we see the result, but we cannot analyze it, because we do not know what each direction means.

Funny conversation with a friend

In general, I decided to write an article on this topic just yesterday. I was talking with an acquaintance, and it so happened that we started talking about the Internet. He asks me - Vanek, what is your Internet speed? Well, I said, I pay 300 rubles for 8 MB/s. Without hesitation, the acquaintance replied, well, what bullshit is your Internet, I have 30 Mbit/s for only 250 rubles. This whole thing was said with such a smart look, I couldn’t restrain myself, I laughed, when I walked away, I immediately thought - this is the topic for a new article.

Users who understand have already figured out what the catch is, and for those who didn’t catch it, read the article carefully and absorb useful knowledge. For probably another 15 minutes I had to explain to my friend that he made a little mistake with his choice of the Internet and the money he pays can be spent more wisely armed good internet. I won’t mutter too much, let’s move on.

How is Internet speed measured?

In order to understand and correctly analyze the speed of Internet connections, you need to have a good understanding of the units of measurement that you will actually use to measure your Internet in the future.

This is very important, it’s a must, well, it’s absolutely necessary, it’s necessary, there’s simply no other way. After all, when you come to the store, you tell the seller how many kilograms of apples to sell you, or you yourself calculate how many kilograms of potatoes you need to buy so that there is enough for at least a week for the whole family, you even tritely calculate how many grams of candy to buy so that you have enough money to pay. Now let's get down to business.

When you start wondering about the Internet, you come across two units of measurement - Megabits and Megabytes. Let's go in order.

The MEGA prefix is ​​a million-dollar prefix, you don’t need to pay attention to them Special attention, this is just a reduction, replacing the number 10 to the 6th power. Once again, we don’t look at the console, we follow everything that is written next, namely, we look at the BITS and BYTES. (megaBIT, mega BYTE)

A bit is the smallest unit of measurement used in calculations. computer world", think of a bit as one unit - 1

A byte is naturally also a unit of measurement, but it contains 8 bits, which means a byte is eight times larger than a bit.

Once again, a BYTE is 8 bits.

Examples. When testing Internet speed, you may be shown:

30 Mbit/s or 3.75 MB/s, where you should understand that these are two same numbers. That is, when you took measurements and were shown the result in megabits, you can safely divide it by 8 and get the real result. In our example, 30 Mbit/8= 3.75 MB

You haven’t forgotten about my conversation with a friend, now you can go back and see why I didn’t agree with my friend, what was his mistake? Look, count, it will be useful for consolidation.

In addition to units of measurement, for proper analysis of an Internet connection, you need to know that there are two types of connections. Incoming and outgoing.

It’s not at all difficult, but you have to read it once just to know. Incoming information is everything that you download to your computer, watch online, listen to music, in general, everything that you view on the Internet will be called incoming traffic.

But when your computer transmits information, let’s say you play an online game and from your computer to mandatory small packets of information are sent out that control actions in the game or, for example, you upload a photo to a social network, all this will be considered outgoing traffic.

Remember:

All we take on the Internet is incoming traffic.

Everything we send to the Internet is outgoing traffic.

Now a little advice: when analyzing, you can not pay attention to outgoing traffic. Why? Because with good performance incoming internet Outgoing connections will automatically be good. They come in a complex, but you need to remember that the speed of incoming information is always higher, sometimes even twice as high, but this is not scary.

When measuring your Internet speed, you will see pictures like this and this is normal:

I think the numbers are more or less understood and now you can easily analyze the speed of your Internet connection as accurately as possible. Although it’s probably worth making a small digression to suggest what speed will be enough and for what purpose.

What kind of internet do I need for stable work?

Here is a table that will serve as a hint to this question, and if you don’t understand, then write in the comments to this article, as soon as I see it, I’ll immediately write the answer.

Task Internet connection speed Classification
Viewing text and graphic information 10 Mbit/s or 1 MB/s Slow Internet
Watch online movies, listen to music, play, chat on Skype From 20 Mbit/s to 40 Mbit/s Good, multitasking.
Working on the Internet, downloading large amounts of information, videos High Quality and other high loads From 80 Mbit/s and above Universal for all occasions

I often hear the question, but with the Internet like this, how long will it take me to download a movie? To be honest, such questions irritate me a little, if you know how to count, then why not do it, this is forgivable for adults and elderly people of the previous generation, but now young people should be educated and instantly give out the information of interest, so in the article I won’t even write about this, but just in case, I will show the principle of calculation in the video, so after finishing reading the text, do not be lazy to spend a couple of minutes watching the video.

And besides this, you should always remember that a virus can get onto your computer and the speed will be reduced several times,

Where can you test your Internet speed?

As I said at the beginning, there are a lot of different resources that provide the opportunity, so to speak, to weigh and measure your Internet. But as practice shows, only a few of them work stably and can provide correct information and not fantasize...

yandex.ru/internet- for me this is the best resource for measuring the Internet.

speedtest.net/ru/ is a mega popular site for determining speed, but it works fine for me only after the second scan. After the first time it shows unreal numbers, so I immediately run it a second time and get a normal, real result.

2ip.ru/speed/— the site can do a lot of useful things, I like it, but unfortunately it often cheats with Internet measurements, but it gives some useful information, by whom it is served, which provider and where the service site is located.

By the way, I took examples of pictures from these sites, in the video I will show each site separately, and you yourself will choose which one you like best. When you analyze your results, you may notice another interesting parameter– Ping

What is ping on the Internet?

This parameter can often be heard, especially among those who like to play Online Games. These types of people, to be honest, are a little obsessed with pings during the game.

Even 7-8 years ago I had a case when I entered the game myself, as I remember now - it was Counter-Strike. Well, I came in, I’m playing, I hear a lot of fuss, shouting and discontent, and in every sentence they shout, he has a high ping, let’s kick him out. And in fact, they kicked me out of the room by general vote; of course, I was not very happy, but there was nothing to do.

That day I spent several hours studying the cursed word ping at that time.

But in fact, the essence of its work is very simple, I will not load your heads, but will only say that this is also a unit of measurement that shows the speed of data transfer from your computer to the server.

Now, quite simply, you entered the game, at the moment when you perform some action for you, the character simply makes a movement. And from the technical side, in order to even simply move your character from place, the computer must send a command (packet of files) to the server, and the time during which these files will fly to the server, be processed there and return back will be called ping.

In fact, Ping is the speed of data exchange between the computer and the server.

What does ping depend on, and how can it be lowered?

Everything here is quite simple, the first and main reason is the physical distance between your computer and the game server. For example, you play in Moscow, and the server is in China, the distance is very long and therefore it takes more time to transmit data packets. And at this moment we are swearing that the game is lagging.

Naturally, the ping will be affected by the speed of your Internet, than faster connection, the lower the ping will be. Next, you need to understand that ping can increase if the transmission line is overloaded, that is, your provider serves not just your apartment, but an entire house or street, and if everyone decides to surf the Internet at the same time, then there will be a little chaos.

Rational use of traffic is when you are sitting at home on the Internet via Wi-Fi, playing, and at the same time your parents are watching TV series through the same Wi-Fi, your little sister is sitting on a tablet in the next room and playing her games. How more people simultaneously use an access point, the lower the Internet speed becomes and the ping increases accordingly.

There are three ways to lower your ping:

  • Change provider or tariff plan to a more powerful one
  • Make some changes to the operating system registry (the improvement is not significant)
  • Loading specialized software. (we immediately throw this method out of our heads and use the first two)

Have you figured out what's what? I think you all understood a long time ago, so I’ll wrap it up. Below you can find a video to reinforce the material you have read, don’t be lazy, you have to watch it.

Watch video: How to find out the Internet speed on your computer?

Well, have you finished reading? Then we go below and write our comment on this article, otherwise how will I know whether you have read it at all or not? See you soon, bye friends.

When purchasing the services of a provider, we hope that the speed of the Internet connection will be exactly as specified in the contract. Well, or almost like that. However, in practice, it extremely rarely corresponds to the 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, not the actual connection speed. However, if the latter is constantly and much lower than the first, the quality of the service can be questioned.

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

Built-in Windows capabilities

The easiest and fastest way to view your current Internet connection speed is in the task manager on the “Performance” tab. If the network is lightly loaded, the graph in the “Bandwidth” window will be low; if it is strong, the window will be filled almost completely, and the speed shown in the upper right corner will be closer to what is specified in the contract with the provider. This should be normal. If, when the network is heavily loaded, the speed remains low, it means that there is an obstacle somewhere. But where is it - yours or his?

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

The necessary information is contained on the “General” tab.

The actual speed is usually 2-3 times lower than the maximum. By the way, when transmitting data via Wi-Fi and 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 check your Internet connection speed manually

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

  • Prepare a 1 GB file and select any cloud web service to which you will upload it, for example, Yandex Drive 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 relieve the channel as much as possible.
  • Disable VPN clients and proxy servers, if they are not a mandatory link for establishing access to the global network.
  • Record the time and start uploading the file to the cloud server. Note the download completion time.
  • Under time control, download the file back to your PC.

Knowing the file size in megabytes and the number of seconds spent on its transfer, you can easily calculate the Internet speed in Mbps. If it is close to that specified in the contract, it means that the provider will fulfill its obligations to you, and the reason for the slowdown is in your devices. If not, then it's the other way around.

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

Web services

Testing your Internet speed using the 2ip service is as easy as shelling pears: click 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 speeds in your city.
  • Average speed indicators among your provider's subscribers.
  • The best tests for all providers for the current day.
  • The total number of measurements among all providers.

This is 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, Yota, Dom.ru, Citylink and TTK record holder. The first places were taken by small and not very well-known companies.

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

- another simple free service of similar purpose. To start the scan, just click the “Start” button. The result will appear on the screen in a couple of minutes.

By the way, if you register for Speedtest (this is also free), you will be able to save the test results in your account and share links to them with other users.

In addition to the web service, accessible online through a browser from any device, SpeedTest exists as an application for desktop (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 it shows detailed information about your Internet connection, operating system and the browser in which you ran the scan. It’s just a pity that there are no benchmarks or opportunities to save test results here.

To start the test, click the “Measure” button. The result, like its competitors, appears on the screen in 1-2 minutes.

The set of functions is very similar to 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 testing button, this resource contains a rating of Ukrainian providers and indicators of the last 20 checks.

For users with Russian IPs, the 2ip.ua website 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 a traditional test of response time (ping), incoming and outgoing Internet speeds, the second is a test of the quality of online video viewing. Based on the testing results, the service displays brief description your connection: how quickly it will open New episode movie, 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 others.

Free programs to check Internet speed 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 time periods specified by the user. Can monitor multiple network interfaces simultaneously.

TMeter for Windows

is a more advanced Internet traffic monitoring tool than the previous utility, but also very easy 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 to connect other devices to the Internet.

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

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

Internet speed test for Android

The Internet Speed ​​Test mobile application 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 of sending packets, allows you to select a test server (its availability and distance affect the performance), accumulates statistics and publishes test results 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 at the current connection quality. Among such programs are social network clients, browsers, Gmail, YouTube, Skype, WhatsApp, Wase navigator, google maps Maps, Uber taxi service, etc. A total of 16 different applications.

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

The concept of “Internet speed on a computer” means incoming speed, that is, the speed of downloading information from World Wide Web, and outgoing - the speed of information transfer. Most often, these two indicators are not the same, and the second is always lower.

Before you start testing the speed of your Internet connection, it is advisable to perform several steps so that the test results fully reflect the speed indicators:

  • It is necessary to close all running programs (especially those that download information), except for the active tab with the loaded verification service page.
  • Be sure to wait for the download process of files on your computer (if any) to complete, or stop all downloads on your device until the speed test is completed.
  • Pause updates of any programs, including Windows, while testing Internet speed.
  • Optional item. To prevent the Windows Firewall from affecting test results, you can disable it during the Internet speed test.

Let us note the fact that most often the Internet connection speed during the test turns out to be slightly lower than that declared by the Internet provider. This is a completely normal situation and is due to a number of reasons:

  1. Problematic user equipment. Incorrectly configured or using an outdated model, an old network card - all this objectively affects the speed of the Internet.
  2. Problematic software. It's about about malicious software installed on the computer. And this kind of “pest” includes panels like Yandex Bar, Mail.ru search, etc. Sometimes, in order to prevent the Internet from “slowing down”, you only need to remove unnecessary software from your computer.
  3. Excessive network congestion. This is especially true for those providers that provide Internet access via a 3G network. Why is this bad? - you ask. And the fact that with an increase in the number of users connected to the provider line, the likelihood of a decrease in Internet speed increases.
  4. Traffic restriction - the provider may intentionally carry out this action, for example, in relation to file-sharing networks. The reason for such actions is the overload on the provider network.
  5. Server problems. The speed of downloading files, watching movies online and uploading information to social network It affects not only the speed of the Internet connection, but also the speed of the server from which the information is “scooped.”

Basic services for checking Internet connection speed

There are several ways to determine Internet speed, we will look at the most popular of them.

  • - one of the most frequently used services for checking incoming and outgoing Internet speed. You just need to log into the site and in the window that opens, click Begin test. After that, all you have to do is watch how the service performs the check.

Advice. Take into account the fact that companies providing Internet access according to the paid tariff indicate the download speed of information (donload speed).

  • Website 2ip.ru. There are a large number of services that are related to the Internet to one degree or another, including checking Internet speed. All you need to do is find the “Tests” tab on the website and select the “Internet connection speed” section. Don't forget to indicate the unit of measurement. By default it is Kbit/sec, but the Mb/sec indicator will be more convenient for perception. This is the unit of measurement used by Internet providers. So, click the “Test” button and wait for the result.
  • Yandex Internetometer. A useful service from Yandex, with which you can easily and simply determine the Internet speed on your computer. To do this, follow the following link. Almost in the center of the page we see a yellow “Measure” button. Click on it and in a couple of seconds you will see a detailed speed analysis before your eyes. By the way, thanks to this service you can also find out the IP address of your computer.

  • Usage torrent- another way to find out the Internet speed. Although this service is intended for downloading files from the network, it will most accurately and most importantly, in practice, show the maximum possible this moment Internet speed. True, this will take a little more time than in the first two cases. So, in order to carry out the check, you need to find some file on the torrent track with more than 1000 seeders and a small number of downloaders (leechers). We set the found file to download and wait. After approximately 30-60 seconds the speed will reach its maximum possible speed limit. Consider the fact that in the torrent client the speed is displayed in Mbps, so you will get the Internet speed in Mbps by multiplying the calculated figure by 8.

We have introduced you to some of the most popular and effective ways Determine Internet speed on your computer completely free. All that remains for you is to try them and choose the most convenient one for yourself.
