Internet bandwidth speed measurement software !!, please ...?


Question:
I just got a VSAT broadband installed with a 128kbps / 256kbps (up/down) bandwidth capacity. When I tested it on my notebook, I tried to download a 14Mb file from HP website and the data transfer rate was averagely 21Kbps. which took long than necessary.
Does this download rate indicate my exact internet bandwidth speed or can I check the actual speed with other sites or measurement software.

I have searched some measurement sites but they aren't specific.

wud be grateful if you could provide a link to very good sites to measure or provide a downloadable software.

Please I need all of your assistance on this in order to certify and pay-up-for the internet service, cos there's presently a dispute as regards the actual speed.

brgds.

Answer:
Hi Beauty,

DSL Reports is great.

Go here and select "Tools" from the left column and follow the directions. http://www.dslreports.com/

Be aware that you will get different download rates depending on the server and the traffic between. DSL reports explains a lot about that. When you run your speed tests try several different servers. The fastest will be closer to what your provider is giving and allow a little (maybe 5 to 10%) for overhead.
