    Speedtest helps a lot for exact Internet connectivity tests.

    Date: Apr 23 2023

    Summary: In general, Speedtest has left me quite satisfied, mainly because this platform has given me incredible results when it comes to testing my Internet connectivity, I consider that this platform has been very important when it comes to detecting slowness in the networks we use for our company. One thing that left me very impressed by this platform on various devices, you can install it on your computer using the Microsoft application, install it on some type of television to detect the speed inside it, this platform is really available for the vast majority of devices today. I continue to use this platform for much longer, since I consider that it provides me with an unbeatable community when it comes to carrying out various tests on servers around the world, to be able to correctly test the speed within a Network that I use at a specific time. . The results that exist within this platform are completely reliable, in addition, it offers a test history which will allow you to detect each of the tests that have been carried out within a specific device, this history will help you understand the variation that exists within the speed the upload speed between different tests.

    Positive: Speedtest is an essential platform to be able to closely monitor the speed of your Internet connection and know if everything is working correctly in this connection, I really liked this platform and it offers a very comfortable platform to use, I really feel very comfortable using it , the general design used by this platform helps me feel comfortable while I perform various speed tests on the different Internet connections used in my company, another thing I liked about this platform is that it counts as a server configuration service, This function is very important since it allows you to detect the speed with which your Internet connection works with each of the servers that are close to your location, in addition, this platform also allows you to connect to external servers or that are located in other countries, this is impressive as it allows you to detect the speed with which you connect to servers located in other regions. I like that this platform automatically detects the mobile device that is being used or the computer used for each of the tests, in addition, the platform automatically detects the company that is distributing your Internet connection at that moment, in addition, I really liked that This platform offers a fairly complete study on the behavior of a Network, since it offers details about the speed of its life, download speed, amount of MS, detects the IP address used and many more details that make these tests totally feasible.

    Negative: One thing I don't like about this platform is that it tests during its progress, for example, every time you run a new test, this test will take about 10 seconds to succeed, during that period of time the download speed or the speed of Your life may vary significantly as you lose confidence in the final result of this test. Another negative aspect of this platform is that it is not capable of measuring the number of packets lost within an Internet connection. The platform does provide you with specific details about the speed and download speed, but it does not allow you to detect the amount of PacketLoss in a network.

    Very effective platform to account for the speed of any network connection.

    Date: Jan 09 2023

    Summary: Speedtest has been quite easy to use software and quite beneficial for our entire Company, since thanks to this platform we have been able to know exactly the speed of our Internet connection at any time. At certain times of the day our Internet connection and its speed is reduced for some reason, and this platform allows us to detect that moment to know when this internet connection has low latency or low data transmission, this platform has allowed us to analyze various network connections at At the same time, we have integrated it into different computers so that we can know the network speed of different networks of Our Company. You want to be very delighted with the effectiveness that this platform has shown to have for a long time, this platform is also capable of saving each of the internet speed analyzes that we have carried out over time, I can access the history within this platform and I can check how many times I have done the speed test of my internet, this is fantastic, since it allows me to know how much speed I had in an exact hour of any day. Speedtest has several things to improve, this platform is quite functional and allows you to know exactly the speed of the internet when using the version for mobile phones and the downloadable version for computers, it is very necessary that this platform improves its precision when measuring the speed within the version for browsers, since currently it is not so accurate to count the speed of my connection.

    Positive: Speedtest is an incredible platform to be able to monitor the speed of your internet connection and also to know advanced details about your internet provider how this platform helps a lot to interact a lot with general details of your network connection, offering advanced information about each connected network .

    Speedtest is quite innovative software, mainly to know advanced details of the network connection, I really love that this platform has an innovative design, the entire general platform is quite comfortable to use, in addition, both the web version and the version for Mobile devices and the version for computers have an optimal design, which helps you to quickly adapt to the functionalities of this platform and not present any type of confusion or discomfort when using it. In addition, you will not only be able to check the connection and the speed of the Internet , but you will also be able to know advanced details about your Network connectivity and you will also be able to know an analysis of your network connection.

    I really liked the fact that speedtest is able to provide me with very advanced statistics about my internet connection in a matter of seconds, this platform monitors the network speed for approximately 5 seconds, where can I see how my network connection varies and how the speed of it varies, after completing this study for 5 seconds, I will be able to know advanced and specific details about my internet speed. I really love being able to access the speed of my network connection depending on the servers that exist in my country or in other countries, this platform allows me to change servers and view the latency and speed with which my network connects in other servers around the world, I like this very much since I can verify how much is the internet speed to connect to servers in other countries. In addition, another positive point of this platform in its web version is that in general it is quite easy to use, in addition, the application for mobile devices is even easier to use, since just by opening the comma and pressing a simple button, you will be able to know the speed of your internet connection, in addition, the extension for browsers is also excellent, it behaves very well and allows you to check the network connection and its speed easily.

    Negative: One of the first problems I found within Speed test is that this platform within its web version is not optimal as it seems, despite having a fairly advanced and attractive design, which helps improve user comfort when using this platform. , the web version is not as accurate with respect to the speed measured in each of the servers of your connection, therefore, when using this web version, you will not be able to know correctly how much your internet speed is, since the Browser limits data transfer a bit, and this causes the network speed to be limited at the time of conducting this speed study. Therefore, I recommend that this platform only be used in its downloadable version for computers and in the version for mobile devices, since the extension for browsers also offers a fairly good experience and comfort, but it does not allow viewing correctly and accurately. the correct speed of your internet connection, since the browser limits this speed a lot. In conclusion, I do not recommend at all that you use the web version and the extension that can be installed within the browser, since they will not offer the same study and the same data transfer to correctly measure your internet speed.

    Another negative thing about this network connection speed meter is that this platform does not have any type of function to detect lost packets within network browsing, therefore, you may have lost packets within your internet connection and this speed meter will always say that you have a correct speed, when in reality you don't, Since your network connection can be full of lost packets, which makes it a bit difficult to connect in some applications. I would love to see this feature implemented within this software, currently this software allows me to measure latency such as upload speed and download speed within my network connection, and that's really nice, however, I would love to be able to measure the number of packets lost to know when there are problems with my internet connection. The third negative thing that this platform has is that the web version is completely full of pure advertising, which can hinder the mobility or comfort that the user can have within this version a bit. I recommend that the version for mobile devices be used and the downloadable version for computers, since these applications do not have any type of integrated advertising, but the web version does.
