It does so by running multiple consecutive tests that analyze different aspects of your internet connection, namely ping latency , download speed , and upload speed. Each of these values represents the connection's specific qualities, which you can read more about in the paragraph after the next.
These should help you understand the final speed test results. But before we get to these, we first want to discuss how to perform each test. The download measurement is performed by opening multiple connections to a server and simultaneously starting the download of a large data file on all connections. This approach ensures that the entire bandwidth of the internet connection is maxed out, and thereby the maximum data throughput can be measured. Recording the data throughput against measurement time finally yields the available internet speed for downloading data.
Upload speed is tested by reversing the sequence of the download analysis. Again multiple connections are opened to the test server. Instead of downloading a file, a large file of random data is created on your device and pushed through all connections to the server. Pushing the data to the server over the network via multiple streams ensures that the maximum throughput is measured. Again, recording the data throughput against time yields the available internet speed for uploading data.
During the ping test, the device sends a small data package over the network to the test server on the internet. When the server receives this package, it will send it back to the device, completing the roundtrip. The time it takes the data package to complete the roundtrip is called latency, also known as ping. To achieve an accurate reading, multiple ping tests are conducted consecutively, with the final result being the average of all these tests.
All these are automatically handled for you when using Speedcheck. But you should take one crucial aspect into account to test speed accurately. A speed test checks the maximum speed of your connection to a remote server on the internet. This test runs in your browser. It does a multiple stream download and upload to servers it determines may be closest to your location.
The test should take no longer than one minute to complete. Speeds are quoted in megabits per second 1 million bits per second or kilobits per second bits per second of data. The speed test attempts to take your network connection to its maximum speed. This can be limited by several factors including the distance to the test servers, the operating system in use, the traffic en-route, and of course any congestion or wiring problems close to your location. The servers are dedicated to speed testing and monitored for performance.
They are currently capable of running from megabit for the smaller servers to over 2 gigabit for the faster servers. Generally the ultimate speed limit is not the server speed but the distance to the server.
The closer to the server the higher speeds can be obtained by the client operating system. This information is NOT shared with third parties. It will be used only to build fully anonymised speed maps. You can delete the location from our database by clicking the button again green indicates a fix for your IP address is stored.
Ideal ping would be less than 1 millisecond. Since the laws of physics dictate that the speed of light in a vacuum is about miles per millisecond, one can calculate the absolute minimum latency for any point to point link.
Why is this the best speed test? There are a wide variety of speed tests. ISP branded tests. Why do we feel this is the best? We have the pedigree. It was a Java applet and did a simple staged download and upload. Last time we checked it had logged over million tests.
