Test Your Bandwidth on Speedtest.net

November 7th 2006 19:47

One of Australia’s most popular bandwidth test sites, bmods.briscomp.org.au, has been down for a very long time now. Not that there aren’t any sites out there to test bandwidth, but none as cool as the one on Speedtest.net. Call me a sucker for eye candy, but the UI on this site knocks the socks of the rest of the bandwidth test sites that I have seen, such as Bandwidthplace and Xpeedometer. But the coolest thing about this site is that it lets you select which server you want to run the test from, and thus gives you a comparison if you try them all. A bookmark must for all anyone who uses ADSL or cable.

I have to say "true that" as far as eye candy goes! Nice find.

I really wish I had ADSL2 though...

Hi everyone, great post. The speedtest.net is cool website, I have always used that when I travelled abroad, but when I go back home, I must say I have found other cool website, such as Bandwidth Test which is also very cool. Try that and then let me know how good you think it is.

Thanks

Vivien
