About

FAST.com speed test gives you an estimate of your current Internet speed. You will generally be able to get this speed from leading Internet services, which use globally distributed servers. Download speed is most relevant for people who are consuming content on the Internet, and we want FAST.com to be a very simple and fast speed test. When you click the “Show more info” button, you can see your upload speed and connection latency (ping). FAST.com provides two different latency measurements for your Internet connection. “unloaded” and “loaded” with traffic. The difference between these two measurements is also called “bufferbloat”. To calculate your Internet speed, FAST.com performs a series of downloads from and uploads to Netflix servers and calculates the maximum speed your Internet connection can provide. FAST.com will test Internet speed globally on any device (phone, laptop, or smart TV with browser).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is an essential platform to be able to have full access to the speed that is handled within your business Network, thanks to this platform you will be able to know the real speed that your Network is supporting on your computer or your mobile device. This platform is quite good since that allows obtaining a study of the network speed in a few seconds, without having a high consumption in the device and without presenting confusion in the users, this platform offers an almost immediate result, since it only takes five seconds to carry out a study of the speed of the network. Another positive aspect of this platform is the ease of use, since you only have to open it in your browser and the platform will automatically carry out a study of the Internet speed that takes a few seconds, this study is quite precise and offers exact details about the actual download speed of your network. In general, the design of this platform is completely easy to use, in addition, you can perform all the Network analyzes that it says without any type of limit, this platform is completely free, it allows you to perform a Network Speed Test as many times as necessary , without any limit.

Cons

  • The main negative aspect of this platform is that there is no application downloaded for mobile devices, this means that any user who is using a mobile device must use their browser to access this website and perform the speed test of their Network, it is necessary to create an application to download for mobile devices to improve access to this platform from the mobile phone. Another negative aspect of this platform is that it offers us details about the quality or the test of the network, since it allows us to visualize the upload speed and it does not allow us to collect details about the number of packets lost in this network nor does it offer details about the latency in MS.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Free to use. Available on web and also as native app on almost all major platforms. Result history and global speed comparison. Major website outage list - downdetector.

Cons

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • By default it selects servers that are far away for test, despite myself living in a major city; making the results not as accurate - Although there is an option to select server. Ads (unless you use an adblocker).
