(For the record, my ISP promises download speeds up to 12Mbps. However, the same test generated a download speed of 4.87Mbps on the connection two days later. The highest download speed test result I recorded was 13.06Mbps using the HTML5-based test at (shown at the top of this post). Another test using the same service resulted in a download speed reading of 11.237Mbps. When I tested more than a half-dozen network speed calculators, the results varied by a factor greater than 10: the lowest reported download speed was a snail's-pace 783Kbps using 's Flash-based test. Rerunning the download speed test generated a result more than 10 times faster than earlier tests. The slowest download speed test result from was a fraction of the rate promised by my ISP. and Odessa, Texas, don't fare much better: all receive information over their network at speeds far below what their ISPs promise. The figures were compiled by speed-test service Ookla, which owns .Īccording to Ookla's figures, the folks in Idaho Falls, Idaho, realize only half the download speed their ISPs claim to provide. 's HTML5-based network speed test recorded the fastest download rate of dozens of tests run at different testing sites.Īre you getting all the network bandwidth you're paying for? Good luck trying to find out.Īs Rani Molla reported recently in the Wall Street Journal, some ISPs are delivering download speeds up to 41 percent slower than they advertise.
