Recommended Speed Tests

I'm often asked what we recommend to use to check the speed of an internet connection. The answer is we recommend TestYourVoIP.com and SpeedTest.net.

When running a test at testyourvoip.com, use the destination of London from a PC plugged into the same network. My result on TestYourVoip (from a Be Broadband connection) looks like this:

When running a test at SpeedTest.net I recommend running 4 or 5 tests to different servers around the country, and working out the average. The result of the check I just ran (over a Be Broadband connection) looks like this:

Both of the above results bode well for the speed of my broadband connection (both upload and download) and mean I should be experiencing high quality VoIP calls.
