5 ways to check broadband speed

Broadband connection users really care about the speed of their Internet connections and, if you are one of them, there are countless websites where you can check the real speed of your connection. One of the best and most popular ones is MegaPath Speed Test Plus which used to be known as Speakeasy when it was first launched in the 1990s. In www.megapath.com, as well as checking your download and upload speed, you will also find features such as packet loss, latency and jitter tests to make sure your connection works as it should. Speedtest Many people who check the speed of their connection online like to get a second opinion from a different website, and www.speedtest.net is one of the best options. On this website you will, of course, have the chance to check your real download and upload speed but you will also be able to create an account which will then allow you to save the results you get from your speed tests for future reference. Speed Of Me Most Internet speed test websites use Flash which means they are not easy to use on your mobile device. However, on www.speedof.me you will be able to check the speed of your connection without using a Flash complement so you can check it either on your computer, mobile device or tablet. Charter Communications If what you want to do is to simply check the upload and download speed of your broadband connection without any other fancy features, check out http://speedtest.charter.com/ which is an official ISP speed test website. Comcast Another official ISP speed test website to accurately check the download and upload speed of your broadband connection is http://speedtest.comcast.net/.
