Softpedia Editor's Review for MySpeed PC Lite
|
Will measure broadband download and upload connection speeds
Written by Bogdan Popa on March 26th, 2012
Determining the real download and upload speed of your Internet connection isn't quite a difficult job, and MySpeed PC Lite promises to make everything a breeze.
The application has been developed to measure the connection bandwidth with the help of minimal configuration options, a fact that makes it appropriate for all types of users.
While the interface isn't quite user friendly, it perfectly presents the main tests that can be performed by the program, which include application speed, capacity speed, time variation, speed quality, TCP forced idle, route speed, packet losses and jitter.
Some of them are only available in the paid version of the program, but MySpeed PC Lite also comes with a dedicated option to run all available tests just by selecting the test server.
The computer might be a little bit stressed up during the process, but the app displays valuable information the whole time, such as download and upload speed, service quality, Round Trip Time, max bandwidth and timer accuracy.
A graph is also displayed to help you analyze download or upload speed, along with a so-called classic view to read the provided information easier.
While the speed test log is pretty important to analyze the results, MySpeed PC Lite also offers VisualRoute integration to follow the entire path of your connection to the Internet. This way, you can find the source of a potential slow connection with minimum effort.
MySpeed PC Lite works flawlessly on all Windows versions and doesn't affect the system performance except for the moments when it performs a test.
Overall, MySpeed PC Lite does what it says and although reading the provided information may be a bit difficult for beginners, a comprehensive help manual is also available to lend them a hand all the time.

Here are some key features of "MySpeed PC Lite":
Installs and runs from your personal computer:
· Run MySpeed PC from your PC and easily test your Internet connection to speed test servers in the US and UK.
Upload and download speed test measurements:
· Connections often have different upload and download speeds, but most bandwidth tests only measure the download speed, providing only half the picture. MySpeed PC accurately reports both upload and download speeds.
Reports bandwidth consistency (QOS), Max Pause and Round Trip Time (RTT):
· The consistency of download capacity is a critical measure for bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP and multimedia. MySpeed PC reports Quality of Service measurements of consistent bandwidth delivery. Max Pause, the longest pause recorded during the data download, and the Round Trip Time are also reported.
Speed Test Detail Log:
· View the raw data results for any speed test for a step by step view of each data packet transfer, the elasped time and number of bytes transferred.
Highly accurate:
· MySpeed PC has been carefully engineered and tested to accurately measure connection speeds. See the Broadband Speed Tester Benchmarks article.
Integration with VisualRoute for detailed connection analysis:
· Get an in-depth analysis of your Internet connection with a click on the VisualRoute trace icon or link. See the actual path of your connection across the Internet, determine the cause of poor connection performance.
