Dan Elwells Broadband Speed Test 3.0 build 316

This Speed Test is completely different from other Speed Tests available on the web. Its a downloadable utility for Windows, and that gives it a host of advantages over other Speed Tests. As well as being much more accurate and reliable than web-based Speed Tests, it has many more features, such as ping testing, trace routes, result archiving and file exporting/printing. Its a fully featured connection benchmarking tool.

This Speed Test is more of a benchmarking utility than a Speed Test - it offers all the benefits and accuracy of such a tool while giving the ease-of-use of a web based Speed Test.

This test has been designed to be as accurate, reliable and powerful as possible while still accommodating non-technical users. Powerful features are explained clearly, using colour coded charts and helpful evaluations. Theres also a comprehensive help file detailing how to use the Speed Test, what each test means and what you can do to improve the results. Colourful icons help guide you through the Speed Test process.

The Speed Test tests many more areas of your connection than traditional web based Speed Tests - it measures ping times, download speeds, upload speeds, packet loss, performs trace routes and receives your network configuration information. This is all made possible through its downloadable file, only 2MB in size. You simply download the file, run the Setup program and use the test whenever you like.

Unlike traditional web based tests which simply perform a test and show you the results, this Speed Test allows you to archive your results in the Portfolio, and access them at any time. You can also export your results to a number of file formats, including word processing documents, spreadsheets and web pages. In addition to this you can send your results to somebody with the click of a button!
