Its no use checking your internet speed from a server located in Chili if you live in Japan. Hey you’re looking for some slow internet connection speeds in that case.

So the folks over at myspeed.visualware.com have a very easy solution. On their intro page they have a large map of the world. Wondering where to check my internet speed from in the world? Just move your mouse over the map and you’ll get different server locations. Very helpful.

The design of the testing page looks like a graph and its gives you plenty of visual information. Very retro in design but it does a great job of giving you important information. The test performs an upload and download test. But the most interesting result is a quality test of your internet connection speed. The results is important if you want to use some VOIP program.

The test results for the folks at www.myspeedyinternet.com were a very decent 2.2Mbps from our near by server. Download was around 450kbps. Overall this is a great internet speed check website that you should bookmark for future use.

Why bother I said if your site is lacking?

So in comparison I offer up the great website resource provided by the folks over at CNET. This internet speed test website is great. Now I must say its really great if you live in North America. The design of the speed tester allows to enter some data which is geared to the North American market. You can enter your area code and select your ISP from a list which includes some of the major companies in the USA and Canada. The site will work for international users but the site was designed with North Americans in mind.

So when you see the resources that CNET has provided you can see what I mean. The test results are great and they obviously have determined that if someone is visiting their internet speed checker website that they better make sure the information being provided is useful. Besides the speeds you also have a chart that compares the results to different service levels. Another note is that the site only checks download speeds.

The results for www.myspeedyinternet.com averaged out at 1100 kbps. You can check out the CNET internet speed tester at reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/.

So why do they offer a free internet speed check website that is pretty much useless when it comes to results? The results from the site are almost useless for the average user. They seem to only produce an estimate.

The folks at McAfee could provide a much better product in my humble opinion. They offer a great explanation of internet connection speeds and how they work but the results produced from their internet speed test are terrible. I kept getting either 100 or 200 with no changes which means they seem to be taking the easy way out.

If your company is selling products to consumers and you take the time to deliver some free online tools you should take the time to make them extremely accurate even if it costs you some resources on the human resources side and on your server. You have the consumers attention why not make the most of it. I will not even bother posting www.myspeedyinternet.com the results from the McAfee internet speed checker. You can check check out the tester at us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/ and see for yourself.
