One to avoid
One of the biggest names in the consumer computer security field is McAfee. 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.
