Do you always test the speed of your internet connection and download speed? And don’t all the websites just look all the same to you? They would just show you the statistic and just numbers. Isn’t that boring?
Ever wonder how fast is your connection and download speed really is and how do they look like? With Speedtest.net, you don’t have to just see the statistics, because you can actually have a look at the Speedtest.net to show you the upload and download stats between your computer and any servers around the world.
If you’re used to other speed test tools out there, you might never want to return there anymore once you discover how fun it is like to use the Speedtest.net’s service.
What’s more interesting about Speedtest.net is that, once the speed test is done, you will be given an option to share your upload and download speed test result in html with anyone that you wanted to.
The display of the data being transfered between the server and your PC is surely going to make you have the idea of how far certain servers transfer their data, visually.
The website’s design is also very clean and neat, thanks to the implementation of Ajax and Flash for it to work. All you need to do to know how fast is the data transfer between a server anywhere on earth with your PC is to click on the selected locations on the map.
Once you’re done selecting your location, the speedometer will start to move. As if you’re looking at the car’s speed meter.
