* Your browser requests the speed test page from a web server
* The web page instructs your browser to record the "start time"
* An image file is immediately downloaded from the speed test server
* As soon as the download is done the "end time" is recorded
* The transfer speed is calculated and sent to the results page

Note: Your web browser must support JavaScript 1.1 or higher to run this test.

An Internet Speed Test Can Tell You:

* How does your Internet connection stack up against others forms of access?
* Is your present high speed Internet access provider truly as fast as they say?
* How much faster will DSL or Cable be over your current dialup connection?
* Can your computer's Operating System truly be slowing down your downloads?

A simple Internet speed test can show you whether or not your Internet connection is as fast as it could be, or if it might be time to find a faster Internet service provider. For more articles, tips, and reviews on High Speed Internet, return to the home page.
