Checking your ISP with an Internet Speed Test

By: Thomas Haddelin

ISP's are providing faster Internet speeds these days, so frequently checking your connection from time to time with an Internet speed test will show you how fast your connection may be. Unfortunately, not all ISP's provide speed tests so finding an accurate one can be tough.

Be careful when searching for a free speed test. Most contain malware that can actually damage your computer. More often than not though, most "Free" Internet speed tests don't even work.

Eventually you might actually find one that doesn't have some form of malware attached to it. Unfortunately, the program may not even work.

70% of Americans use at least 1 ISP.

At least 60% have cable Internet.

86% of these don't get a free speed test with their Internet.

Perhaps its insane, but I feel we should be able to test our Internet speeds when ever we feel the need. Why pay just to find out our ISP is horrible?

I didn't, and after hundreds of trials and errors (Not to mention getting rid of all the spyware I collected along the way) I finally found a few Internet speed test sites worth adding to my favorites. The basic idea is this... Find one that actually works, doesn't cost anything to use, and doesn't give your computer spyware, and start checking your connection from time to time just to see how your ISP is doing.
