Is my Internet Service Provider Stupid?

29 June 2008 No Comment

This has become a major problem in allot of countries. ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) seem to be ripping off their costumers. By this i am saying that the companies are falsely advertising their products internet speed, then when you get the internet it’s slower than expected.

A way you can tell if your internet speed is not at the correct right is by going to speedtest.net. Once you are on, you should see a whole bunch of pyramids. Click the one closest to your current location, and the speed tester will test the download speed, and the upload speed.

After it has completed it will show you the results. Go to your Internet Service Providers website and look at their advertised speed. Then compare what you got on speed test and your ISP. Before i go, i should add in that it is not an exact measurement and could potentially be minimally incorrect. Also when selecting a pyramid, try and select the closest one as possible, so you can get a more accurate reading.

I hope this helped.
