Broadband Speed Test

Broadband Speed Test is an application that can be used to determine the download and upload speed of your Internet connection.

There’s nothing that could get you too much trouble because all options are grouped in a single window, most of them using very intuitive names.

Users have nothing else to do than to input a host name and choose between download or upload speed tests, with Broadband Speed Test taking care of everything else.

Once the test comes to an end, the application not only launches a web browser instance to show results, but it also presents speed estimates in the main window of the app.

There are no other configuration options, but instead Broadband Speed Test can show network adapter settings, such as hostname, IP configuration, IPv4 route table and interface list.

Of course, most of the tests are performed in no time and Broadband Speed Test has no impact on system performance. It runs smoothly on all Windows versions on the market and doesn’t ask for administrator privileges on Windows 7 machines.

As a conclusion, Broadband Speed Test is a handy app, but it’s impossible to see professional users choosing this one and abandoning their favorite programs.

There are many other similar tools out there on the market, as well as web-based services designed to test your connection speed, and most of them provide a much more impressive feature pack than Broadband Speed Test.
