Some people don't know how to test their own Internet speed, or they don't pay much attention to their own Internet speed. As a result, they may be deceived by network providers. Paying for 4M broadband and using 2M bandwidth Internet speed often happens around us. . In order to protect your own interests from infringement, you should know how to test the Internet speed, know the Internet speed test methods, and pay attention to your Internet speed every day.
2. How to conduct a network speed test?
There are many choices for Internet speed testing. When you install broadband, the network provider may introduce you to a website or download software for Internet speed testing. No matter what you use to test the Internet speed, you should not only use one method. The correct approach is to use multiple methods and test at least 5 times. Only by combining them can you determine what your Internet speed is. Because there are many factors that affect Internet speed, no speed measurement software or website can accurately calculate your real bandwidth at that time.
3. Several commonly used Internet speed testing methods
Method 1: Check the network speed from Thunder download
1. You can find a latest and popular movie to download, use Xunlei to download it, select the high-speed download mode in the Xunlei settings, and set the maximum number of connections to 1000. Download and see how stable the maximum download speed can be to know your highest Internet speed.
2. Under normal circumstances, the download speed of 1M bandwidth is between 100K-150K/S.
2M is 200-280K/S
4M is 400K-500K/S
8M is 800-950K/S
10M optical fiber sharing can reach 1M-1.5M/S
Note: (1M broadband theoretical download speed is 128K/s, 2M broadband theoretical download speed is 256K/s, 4M is 512K/s)
3. The above is the reference value of the fastest network speed. If there is not much difference, it is considered normal. This method also has certain drawbacks. Some broadband providers (ISPs) will restrict the ports of P2P software such as Thunder and BT, resulting in very slow download speeds. Therefore, when you find that the popular resources you download are also very slow, less than tens of kilobytes, Then the port is restricted.
Method 2: Use network speed to test the website
1. Using the Internet speed test website to test the Internet speed is the most commonly used Internet speed test method among netizens, because this method is simple and convenient, and does not require downloading software to install. You can just enter a URL to measure the speed.
2. Kaka Internet Speed Test Platform is an authoritative speed test website in China. The website has a variety of lines to choose from. Users can choose test lines according to network usage. The test points are all over the country, the United States, Australia, Japan and other overseas countries. Users can Select any test point for testing. The website uses flash to implement the speed measurement function and visualizes the test process. The test results can accurately reflect the local network speed. There is no need to download and install plug-ins or add additional equipment. It is simple to use and easy to operate.
3. Users can choose a local location and a suitable line for testing.
4. After the network speed test is completed, the system will automatically calculate your network speed at that time, as shown in the figure below:
5. After multiple tests and selecting multiple test points for testing, and finally making a comprehensive comparison, you can know your real network speed at that time.
Method 3: Use Ping to test network speed
1. Use ping to test the computer name and computer's IP address, verify the connection to the remote computer, and verify the connection to one or more remote computers by sending icmp echo packets to the computer and listening for echo reply packets. , this command can only be used after the tcp/ip protocol is installed.
2. Using Ping to test network speed is also a speed measurement method recommended by many people, and the method is also very simple to operate. Open your ms-dos (Start → Programs → ms-dos), use a win2000 friend to open cmd.exe (this is ms-dos under win2000, Start → Programs → Accessories → "Command Prompt" or Start → Search Files Or folder → "Fill in cmd.exe", find it and double-click to run it.) Enter: pingwww.baidu.com in the dos window, and then see the following interface:
3. Pay attention to the time circled in red. If it is greater than 100ms, it means that your network speed is very slow, usually between 30-50ms. In fact, this ping method cannot calculate the KB of your network speed. It can only roughly indicate the speed of your network at that time. Therefore, this network speed test method is not advisable.
4. Unit issues of Internet speed test
1. Reference speed for several Internet access methods: * Download speed at 512k bandwidth: 58K/S * Download speed at 1M bandwidth: 90K/S * Download speed at 1.5M bandwidth: 130K/S * Download speed at 2M bandwidth: 180K/S *Download speed at 3M bandwidth: 270K/S *Download speed at 4M bandwidth: 360K/S.

2. Regarding the conversion between bit/second and Byte/s: The line unit is bps, which means bit/second. Note that it is a lowercase letter b; user The rate unit displayed when downloading online is often Byte (byte)/s (second), note the capital letter B. The relationship between bytes and bits is 1Byte=8Bits; plus the increased transmission volume due to network transmission protocols such as IP headers and HTTP headers, when the download rate of 1KByte/s is displayed, the actual transmission rate of the line is about 10kbps. For example: when the download shows 50KByte/s, the actual speed has reached 500Kbps. Remember to pay attention to the unit!
The above is all the content of the method of testing network speed that the editor will introduce to you in detail. If you also feel that your network is relatively slow, you might as well test your network speed. I don’t know how to test the network speed. There are methods mentioned above. You can test the network speed according to the above method.
