NetSpeeder

NetSpeeder was designed to assess the maximum download speed that your Internet connection is capable of in just under a minute.

It’s easy to accomplish such an operation via the numerous online services out there, but having the results delivered without you opening a web browser is definitely more comfortable. NetSpeeder can arrange for that comfort in the blink of an eye.

Wrapped up inside a modern and streamlined interface, the application is being straightforward from the first time you launch it.

Aside from the gauge that shows the speed test evolution as it is being performed, NetSpeeder accommodates only one button inside its main window, the one that allows you to launch the test.

There’s also an advisory note, prompting you to cease activities such as streaming, browsing and downloads in order to retrieve accurate results, as this type of extra use of web resources may tamper with the meter’s capabilities.

Once the test has been initiated, the evolution will be shown in real time with the aid of the indicators inside the gauge. In less than a minute, you’ll have the results delivered along with a comparison chart, which indicates if the download speed is very slow, slow, normal or fast.

We tested it in comparison with a popular online service and the differences between the results delivered by NetSpeeder compared to the ones provided by the service were immense.

The application indicated a speed of approximately 200 Kbps, while the online service revealed about 82Mbps, which is closer to reality than NetSpeeder’s results.

We fear that the speed test provided by the application might return faulty results on other computers too, which is why we’re not saying not to try it, but we’re not encouraging you either.
