Greetings, dear readers of the blog site! Today, in order to check the speed of the Internet, it is not at all necessary to be an advanced expert in high technology. All you need to do is use an online service where you can determine your Internet connection speed with a simple click of a button. There are a sufficient number of such services on the Internet that check the Internet connection online.
The average user, as a rule, does not attach much importance to the speed of the Internet connection. By and large, the most important thing is that the necessary files (movies, music, documents, etc.) are uploaded and downloaded as quickly as possible. But if any delays or failures in the Internet connection begin to occur, any of us begins to get nervous.
The lack of Internet speed at the moment has a particular impact on the nerves. creating a website or blog yourself(I’m talking about myself and “my high-speed” Internet connection).
Of course, the speed of data transfer on the Internet depends on many factors. And all these nuances are negotiated with the Internet provider, with whom an agreement is concluded to provide them with network access services. But providers often do not fulfill their obligations, and the actual data transfer speed is much lower than provided for in the contract. And most users simply do not know how to check their Internet connection, or rather, its speed.
To begin, to conduct an Internet speed test, disable, if possible, all network programs (including antivirus programs). Check the network connection status.
View network activity.
My computer – network – Show network connections- choose State working network connection.
If in the window State There is active data transfer (digital values change quickly), check that all programs are disabled. If so, you may have a virus. Then first treat your computer with some antivirus program ( You can also use a free antivirus program).
After these steps, you can measure your Internet speed using the online services listed below.
Checking Internet speed on Yandex Internet.
Perhaps the most “Spartan” online service where you can measure Internet speed is Yandex Internet.
But, despite its simplicity, Yandex performs a speed test in a very original and high-quality manner. It is enough to go to its service to check the Internet speed - Yandex will immediately determine your IP address, browser, screen extension of your computer and what region you are from.
Next, to measure the Internet speed in Yandex, click on the “ruler” button and after the Internet connection test is completed, you can view detailed information. Where the download speed and download speed will be indicated. And as a souvenir, when the Internet speed test is over, you can take with you the HTML code of the banner to insert it into your blog or website.
How to determine Internet connection speed using the Speedtest.net service
This is one of the most popular online services, where many people will simply enjoy measuring Internet speed. The service, promoted in RuNet, has an attractive design, and checking the Internet speed on this resource is a pleasure. After measuring and testing the Internet connection speed, speedtest presents a report in the form of a banner, which shows the download speed data from the network and the transfer data that comes from the user’s computer.
Just like in Yandesk, this banner can be placed on your website or blog. In addition, on the online service you can take the script of the miniature Speedtest Mini module and install it on your website or blog. Then anyone can measure the Internet speed directly on your website. And perhaps the most attractive product is Speedtest Mobile. This is an application for mobile devices running Android and iOS.
Internet speed test online service Speed.io
Speedtest is a small program for measuring connection speed. The system performs automatic tests for ping, server response and the functioning of the Internet in general. Helps replace constant calls to the provider with a simple operation to check the connection. Information is displayed on the screen with graphic tables for visual analysis on the page. Such assistance will be needed in games, offices, and work PCs.
The developer releases new updates for testing in the latest versions. Disadvantages - frequent program crashes and errors when calculating the speed flow. It is recommended to bypass the firewall for the application to function properly.
This software will provide any information on networks, connection speed and Internet usage by pressing just one button.
Download the full Russian version of Speedtest for free from the official website without registration and SMS.
System requirements
- Supported OS: Windows 7, 8.1, 8, Vista, 10, XP
- Bit depth: 32 bit, 64 bit, x86
Currently, free online services are very popular, capable of determining the speed of the Internet connection being used in a few seconds, as well as finding out the IP address of the computer, determining the user’s location, checking the site for viruses, and more. Among the most common programs of this type is Speedtest.
The free service is designed to quickly test the transfer speed and download data to the user’s computer.
The test does not require downloading or installing any additional components.
To start testing, there is a special button “Forward” (Start testing).
The final result is produced 30 seconds after the program is launched for execution.
Features of Speedtest Net
As a result of using SpeedTest, it becomes possible to determine the incoming and outgoing speed of the Internet connection.
In most cases, the declared value of this characteristic is deliberately overestimated by the supplier and does not correspond to reality. The provider indicates false facts in order to attract the attention of users and increase its popularity.
A complete package of tools with all the features can only be obtained by visiting the website of the official service developer or its partner. This is very important, since currently an incredible amount of obscene resources have been created masquerading as the original.
Global speed test SpeedTest
- The Speedtest.net service includes only one page – the main page.
He is:
- ping,
- the amount of incoming and outgoing speed Internet connections,
- user location, set by the IP address of the computer from which you entered the site.
Internet speed results among site users
- The total number of tests is 6867.
- Average download speed is 30.13 Mb/sec.
- The average download speed on a PC is 28.31 Mb/sec.
- The average ping value is 29 ms.
Particularly demanding users can use the option to determine the geographic location of the server that will perform the scan. For this purpose, a special map is provided, the scale of which can be changed using the slider located on its left side. In other cases, this operation is performed automatically.
The parameter testing is carried out in real time and looks truly impressive. It provides a visual display of everything that is happening - data transfer between the specified server and the user’s computer, taking into account all established indicators.
The data processor window presents a colorful animation of downloading or transferring data from the user’s device to the selected city, a graph and an image of a speedometer with the Speed mark. This approach is designed to brighten up the waiting time for results and save a person from unnecessary negative emotions about this.
The entire process of determining the real speed of an Internet connection through Speedtest is performed with one click of the mouse.
It is very convenient and does not take much time. Even a beginner can cope with such a task.
Ookla
Ookla is a global leader in broadband Internet speed testing and network diagnostic software.
SpeedTest.net was developed as the most accurate way to determine the fastest ISP and mobile network. Speed tests are aggregated by averaging the test results of each device at a given user location, each day.
This improves data accuracy and reduces bias from retesting or tests that attempt to skew results. There are also many other ways to prevent fraudulent or inaccurate results.
More than 5 million users use the Speedtest app every day, allowing the company to remain a leader in the Internet speed testing industry. This free service is available to anyone around the world who is interested in learning the features and characteristics of their Internet connection.
Many who have already encountered Internet speed testing services have noticed that the results of these tests quite often differ from the tariff plan (the speed provided by the provider). Most people, without delving into the details and intricacies of how services work, prefer to believe the indicated speed test results, on, perhaps for the first time, an open website. And then the calls to the provider’s technical support with complaints and claims begin. Often, long negotiations with technical support end in nothing - the recommendations of the technical staff are difficult or scary to implement. And, as a result, the client is not satisfied.
We conducted a small test of the most popular Internet connection speed testing services and decided to find out which service should be given the greatest preference, and also tried to find out why such different results are shown by speed measurements. At each site we carried out from 3 to 5 measurements, presenting the best indicators here.
For testing, we used a simple system unit with a dual-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, installed Windows 7 operating system. Not installed on the computer, the firewall is disabled. All components and modules (including flash player) are updated. Browsers used: Opera, Chrome, Fire Fox, Safari, testing was carried out in each of them. The network card is the most inexpensive, with an interface speed of 100 Mbit/s (Full duplex). The computer was connected with a 3-meter twisted pair cable to a Cisco L2 switch with a 1 Gb/s port (auto) and an external interface (Internet channel) of 2 Gb/s (LACP bonding mode 2).
In total, an analogue of broadband Internet access was obtained at a speed limited by the bandwidth of the computer’s network card - 100 Mbit/s.
Speedtest.net by Ookla - Global speed test
Speedtest.Net- probably one of the first and most popular services for checking basic network parameters. The test itself is created on the basis of flash technology, which, on the one hand, is beautiful, convenient and visual, on the other hand, it can let you down - the flash player is not installed correctly on your computer, or the browser flash module is not able to fully implement speed testing, and , as a result - errors in measurement.The web interface of the page http://www.speedtest.net/ looks like a map with the ability to select the server with which you want to test.
When you open the page www.speedtest.net, the service determines your location. A very useful feature of this service is the ability to select the server with which to test, because the fewer intermediate nodes between your computer and the server, the more accurate the measurement results will be.
Before testing begins, a ping test takes place - the server's response time to your request to it.
Immediately after measuring the ping, the download speed is measured - Download.
After measuring your incoming speed, the service will automatically begin measuring outgoing speed - Upload, the speed at which you can upload and transfer files to the Internet.
Outgoing speed testing - Upload.
After all the tests have been carried out - ping, incoming and outgoing speed, the results will appear on the screen with a suggestion to repeat the test ( TEST AGAIN), or select another server ( NEW SERVER) to check Internet settings.
Test result.
Further, using the service Speedtes.Net, we chose another, most remote server in Kyiv, the data to which will pass through several Data Centers, with this we will show the influence of intermediate nodes on the accuracy of testing measurements.
Selecting a remote server located in Kyiv.
Speed testing with a server located in Kyiv.
Here it is worth paying attention to the increase in ping to 13 ms, which indicates data delays on intermediate servers and routers located between us and Kiev.
Result for Speedtest.net by Ookla - 95/95 Mbit/s with our throughput of 100 Mbps this is the most accurate result.
If you need to test with our server located in Torez, go here.
Bandwidthplace.com - speed test for all devices
Bandwidthplace.Com- just like Speedtest.Net uses flash technology to measure network speed. Here everything is more modest, the choice of servers (button Select Server) for testing is small, only about 15, the location of which indicates that the service is focused on America and Japan. The closest to us was Frankfurt (Germany).
The result of the check, to put it mildly, was no. With our actual channel width of 100 Mbit/s, the Bandwidthplace.com service showed only 11 Mbit/s - 10 times lower than our actual speed. Moreover, we were not able to check our outgoing speed using this service.
Bandwidthplace.com speed testing.
This is all due to the remoteness of the server and the large number of intermediate nodes connected to it. We counted 8 pieces. 
Tracing the route to the server - Bandwidthplace.com.
Result for Bandwidthplace.com - 11/-- Mbit/s with our throughput of 100 Mbit/s, this service is not suitable for our region.
2ip.Ru - Network services portal
2ip.Ru- probably one of the first Russian-language services for the Internet. Among them is a speed check service.Before checking, the service prompts you to enter your speed according to the tariff plan; for further assessment - declared/actual.
The lack of selection of the nearest server affected the results.
The result of the Internet connection speed is 2ip.Ru.
Despite the fact that the 2ip.ru service is aimed at Russian-speaking network users, it itself is located in Germany, so the service is more suitable for the western regions of the CIS countries (Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg...). Due to the fact that there are a large number of nodes between us and the 2ip.ru service, it is not suitable for accurate measurements.
Result for 2ip.Ru - 27/7 Mbit/s
Pr-Cy.Ru - Analysis and verification of network resources
Pr-Cy.Ru- another popular Russian-language service, specializes in website analysis, the speed checking service on it is a pleasant addition to other services.The speed test page includes a map that allows you to select your preferred server with the fewest nodes on the path to it for the most accurate result.
Speed check page - Pr-Cy.Ru.
After pressing the button “Start Internet speed test”, first the server response time (ping) is measured, after which the incoming and then outgoing Internet speed will be automatically checked.
Testing Internet speed on the Pr-Cy.Ru website.
Internet speed test result.
The test result was disappointing, deviations were more than 20%. Most likely, the owners of the Pr-Cy.Ru resource do not prioritize the accuracy of Internet speed measurements and pay more attention to the accuracy of their other services.
Result for Pr-Cy.Ru - 80/20 Mbit/s, in our opinion, a dubious service for our region.
We think this is enough comparative tests. Our goal was to show that speed checking services are nothing more than entertainment and should not be taken more or less seriously. We did not specifically consider other services, such as.
The article will help you test and measure the speed of your Rostelecom Internet connection using the speedtest net test, using Yandex for free.
Do you test your Internet speed? Or do you not pay attention to this indicator? But it is for a high-quality and fast Internet connection that we pay money. An Internet speed test will help you find out how honest the provider is and whether you are overpaying for services.
General information about Internet connection speed
Incoming speed (Download) will show you how quickly you can download data (files, music, movies, etc.) from the Internet. The result is indicated in Mbps (Megabits per second)
Upload speed will show you how quickly you can upload data (files, music, movies, etc.) to the Internet. The result is indicated in Mbps (Megabits per second)
An IP address is an address that is usually assigned to your computer to gain access to resources within your provider's local network.
Note: . This is necessary to know, for example, to organize an xml search on Yandex. It indicates the IP address of your server from which search requests are coming.
Internet speed- this is the maximum amount of data received or transmitted by a computer from the network or to the network per unit of time.
Data transfer speed is calculated in kilobits or megabits per second. One byte is equal to 8 bits and, therefore, with an Internet connection speed of 100 MB, in one second the computer receives or transmits no more than 12.5 MB of data (100 MB / 8 bits). Thus, if you need to download a 1.5 GB file, it will take 2 minutes. This example shows the ideal option. In reality, everything is much more complicated.
The speed of your Internet connection is affected by the following factors:
- Tariff plan established by the provider.
- Data link technologies.
- Network congestion with other users.
- Website loading speed.
- Server speed.
- Router settings and speed.
- Antiviruses and firewalls running in the background.
- Programs and applications that are running on the computer.
- Computer and operating system settings.
Two Internet speed parameters:
- Data reception
- Data transmission
The ratio of these parameters is important both when determining Internet speed and when assessing the quality of the connection.
Nowadays, changing an Internet provider is not difficult. After all, you can choose an honest service provider whose declared speed corresponds to reality. To do this, you should check your Internet speed.
It is almost impossible to measure the reception and transmission speed by eye. For this purpose, there are sites that allow you to measure Internet speed. We will talk about some of them in this article.

How to improve the accuracy of Internet connection testing
To get an accurate result internet speed test, you must complete the steps below. If you don’t need exact results and approximate data is enough, then you can ignore this point.
So, for a more accurate check:
- Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector, that is, directly.
- Close all running programs except the browser.
- Stop all programs running in the background, except those selected for the online Internet speed test.
- Disable your antivirus while you measure your Internet speed.
- Launch Task Manager, open the “Network” tab. Make sure it is not loaded. The network usage process should not exceed one percent. If this indicator is higher, then you can restart the computer.

Speedtest net check
Speed test net service is one of the most famous sites for the Rostelecom Internet speed meter; it has a stylish design and simple interface. With its help, you can determine the incoming and outgoing connection speed, speeding up the Internet of your computer. To measure the Internet speed, you need to click the “Start test” button. The result will be known in less than one minute. Measurement errors on this site are minimal. And this is its significant advantage. We recommend!
The site looks like this:
After the check is completed, you will see three indicators reflecting all the necessary information.
The first “Ping” shows the transmission time of network packets. The lower this number, the better the quality of the Internet connection. Ideally, it should not exceed 100 ms.
The second number is responsible for the speed of data acquisition. It is this figure that is reflected in the agreement with the provider and, therefore, you pay for it.
The third number reflects the data transfer speed. As a rule, it is less than the receiving speed, but a higher outgoing speed is not required very often.
To measure the speed of your Internet connection with any other city, select it on the map and click the “Start test” button again.
Keep in mind that to run the speedtest net Internet speed test, flash-player must be installed on your computer. Many users attribute this fact to significant disadvantages of the service, but installing a player if you don’t already have one will not take much time and labor. Below is the spid test net service for checking the speed of the Internet connection in a simplified, but sufficient for work, version.

Internet speed testing service Yandex Internetometer
The simplest website for checking Internet speed, Yandex, looks very simple. The first thing you will see when you go to this page is the IP address of your computer from which you logged into the Internetometer. Further, there is information about screen resolution, browser version, region, etc.
Just like in the previous site reviewed, using the Yandex Internet meter you can determine the incoming and outgoing connection speed. However, the process of measuring speed in this service will be longer than on the website speedtest.net.
It's very easy to check your Internet speed with a Yandex internet meter. To do this, on the specified page, click the button in the form of a green ruler “Measure speed”.
The test time will depend on the speed itself. If it is extremely low or the connection is unstable, the test may freeze or fail.
In the Yandex Internet speed test using the Internet meter, the process occurs as follows: The test file is downloaded and uploaded several times, after which the average value is calculated. To determine the connection speed as accurately as possible, strong dips are cut off.
As you know, the speed of receiving and transmitting data is not a constant and stable indicator, so it is not possible to measure its accuracy to the maximum. In any case, there will be an error. And if it is no more than 10-20%, then that’s just wonderful.
After the verification is completed, you will be able to receive a code for publishing test results.
