Bandwidth Meter Online Speed Test  About the speed test  What is
throughput?   What are kbps?  kbps or Kilo Bits Per Second is
the rate at which 1000 bits of data travels across your internet
connection. A bit is the smallest unit of digital information. 8
bits make up 1 byte.  Why do I get different results when I run
the test?  The test shows the current throughput you can get on
your Internet connection. Factors such as network congestion and
other downloads in progress can affect the available throughput.
I thought my broadband connection was faster?  The results of
the test can be affected by any network congestion between you
and our servers. If you have other downloads in progress this
can also affect the results.  How do you know how fast my
Internet connection is?  We calculate the speed of your Internet
connection by calculating the time it takes to download a
predefined set of data.  * Actual speeds may vary based on
factors such as line quality, distance from exchange (for
ADSL/ADSL2+), technolog
