About M-Lab Speed Test
M-Lab's Speed Test provides advanced diagnostics of the performance of your broadband connection through quick measurements. Measurement Lab (M-Lab) provides the largest collection of open Internet performance data on the planet. As a consortium of research, industry, and public-interest partners, M-Lab is dedicated to providing an ecosystem for the open, verifiable measurement of global network performance. Measurement tools are openly licensed and operated, allowing third parties to develop their own client-side measurement software and audit the source. Data collected is made available to the public, allowing researchers and anyone else to build on a common pool of network measurement information. Distributed infrastructure and a large user base provide an open, verifiable measurement platform for global network performance. Used by public organizations, academic researchers, regulators and companies around the world to understand the health of the Internet.

nPerf
Test your ADSL, xDSL, cable, optical fiber or satellite broadband connection bandwidth. This speed test relies on an exclusive algorithm allowing you to measure accurately download bitrate, upload bitrate and latency of your connection. nPerf uses a worldwide dedicated servers network, which is optimized to deliver enough bitrate to saturate your connection so that we can measure its bitrate accurately. nPerf speed test is compatible with all broadband and mobile connections: ADSL, VDSL, cable, optical fiber FTTH / FTTB, satellite, WiFi, WiMax, cellular 2G / 3G / 4G (LTE), 5G. The nPerf speed test has been designed by telecom enthusiasts to enable you to accurately measure the speed of your Internet connection easily, in only one click! Oh... and this speed test is absolutely free of ads! Indicates the delay a small packet of data requires to make a round-trip from your computer to the nPerf server. The shorter the delay, the most reactive is your connection.

Speed Test
Download speed measured in megabits per second (Mbps), how fast your computer can receive data from a server on the Internet. Upload speed, how fast your computer can send data to a server on the Internet. Ping, also known as “latency”, measures the reaction time of your Internet connection by calculating the time it takes between sending out a request to getting a response. Measured in milliseconds (ms), ping indicates how responsive your Internet connection is. Jitter, based on multiple measures of pings, jitter measures the consistency of your Internet connection. Also measured in milliseconds, the smaller the jitter, the more stable an Internet connection. Speed Test works with a global network of over 5,000 testing servers. The app selects a server nearby your current location with a fast ping, which usually indicates a reliable Internet connection with good throughput.

FCC Speed Test
Accurately measure the performance of your mobile broadband service by running active tests to evaluate the following metrics, download and upload speed, latency, jitter and packet loss. You can run these tests over both Wi-Fi and cellular connections. The data from these tests contribute to the FCC’s Measuring Broadband America program. The program is run by the FCC to fulfill its Congressional mandate to collect and make publicly available accurate and transparent performance metrics on US broadband. Your privacy is completely safeguarded. No personally identifiable information is collected. You can selectively run manual tests in the app across download speed, upload speed, latency, jitter and packet loss to accurately measure broadband or cellular performance. You can set a monthly data usage cap to ensure tests do not go over the limit. You can also monitor data usage in the app so you do not exceed monthly allowances by your carrier.

Speedtest Pro
Test your network directly from your toolbar and quickly test your internet performance. One-click testing of the Internet connection, and can reflect the user's network status from multiple angles. Speedtest Pro is a professional-grade speed tester, which can make it easy for users to find out the fault cause. Ping value could be measured and displayed in seconds. Test download speed and upload speed. Test the loading speed of the current web page. Open advanced options, you can choose to test the loading speed of the current web page or not. The time from the PC sends data to the webserver until it receives feedback from the server. It's usually expressed by the degree of network delay in online games. The larger the Ping value is, the more serious the network delay is, and the less smooth the game runs. Upstream traffic of network data per unit time. Ordinary broadband uplink and downlink are not equal, upstream broadband usually speeds limit.
