Check your Internet Speed

Internet connection speed is determined by a number of factors: the base speed assigned by your Internet service provider, network congestion and bandwidth-consuming programs running on your computer. The base speed, which varies depending on the type of Internet you have, could be relative to how much you pay for the service, though it is never guaranteed to always be at that speed because of the other aforementioned factors. Check your Internet speed by using a variety of Internet speed tests. These tests work with both broadband and dial-up Internet connections.

This article will help you to check your Internet Speed.
