How do I measure my internet speed?

I was wondering if there was a way (hoping for a dashboard widget) that I could actually see my internet speed.
Basically am curious if my speed fluctuates much, or if I have a habit of hitting sites with slow server response.

Is it 572 KBps (about 4600 mbps)? That would not be bad for Road Runner. If it's truly 572 kbps (about 70 KBps) then that's pretty slow. May need a new modem or you may have problems with the cable installation - need a direct line from the outside cable box to the modem. If they've run your line off splitters or the line's too long you might have substantial signal loss. Have them send someone out to check the installation and fix it if needs be.

How can I read the internet speed in a MAC?

How can I find the INTERNET SPEED in a MAC?

You typically use a free Internet Speed test. It does an upload and a download from a known site, bypassing certain configuration problems. Just do a search to find a dozen services eager to test with you (in exchange for the Ads on their pages).
Do not pay for this service, and DO NOT accept any CR@P they suggest you download to "fix" your speed. They cannot tell from outside whether you have problems, and none of the things you can download ever makes anything better.
If using Wi-Fi, one generally finds that the Wi-Fi part of the connection is the limiting factor.

VBA Internet speed

Hi I'm new to this type of scripting however know a bid of VBA and MSaccess. However this is my first project using WMI.
Did a function with pingstatus that went well.
I'm now trying to measure my internet speed on this PC and get the value in MSaccess. I searched around and can now find at least my network adapter.
Function nw()strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
"SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter WHERE NetConnectionStatus = 2", , 48)
For Each objItem In colItems
Debug.Print "-----------------------------------"
Debug.Print "Win32_NetworkAdapter instance"
Debug.Print "-----------------------------------"
Debug.Print "Name: " & objItem.Name
Next
End Function
Now what I like to do is get the mom. speed on that adapter
The same as what you can see on the "windows task manager/networking/networkutilization"
I tried every property in the win32_network adapter but can't find the right one.
All help appreciated.

It is not on the adapter. The utilization is a performance number. Run Perfmon and look at the network data.
Counters are an advanced element of scripting. Search for examples.

Loss of internet speed using EA2700

Hello,
So I setuped my network as follows.
one Linksys Ea2700 model is the DHCP server and connects via PPPOE to my ISP and another 2 routers ( same model) connected to the router.
Now if I connect directly with my computer ( Asus G series laptop with Windows 8 installed on him) I get the full 100 Mbps connection the ISP promised.
Connected to the internet behind the router I get a speed loss to 40 Mbps wired connection and about 27 Mbps wireless connection.
If I connect behind one the second routers I use as access points the speed is at about 9 Mbps wired connection and 8 Mbps wireless connection.
I've tried disabling the router firewall protection but it only made things worse. Thou It felt a bit faster as someone suggested I couldn't use the internet properly ( the pages weren't loading but oddly If i could manage to download something it had a decent speed).
Also connected through one of the second routers I have a CCTV recording device that also streams to the internet ( with a setuped DDNS ) and it works properly. If I disabled the stream I couldn't notice much of a internet speed increase.
As a final note I already read this thread http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/EA2700-wired-speed-issue-worst-expensive-router-i-e...
Incidently me and him have the same ISP.
So my questions are:
How do I decrease this internet speed loss that passes through the routers?
Is changing any of the routers neccesary? According to the specs these routers should be working fine.

Internet speed to access oracle apps in cloud

Hi all,
EBS R12.2 Cloud
What is the minimum internet speed (measure using > Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Tes
such that our client process connecting to EBS cloud is stable?
Some users sometimes is complaining their forms or processes is loading very slowly and is blaming on the cloud server.
But if I check on the server, the CPU activity is little only. So I need to tell them to reboot their laptops, which sometime works.
But can it be caused by their internet speed, if it is not stable? Because they are using wi-fi.
Thanks a lot,
mk

Thanks Kj, Bashar, and all,
Yes they are independent consultants ( less that 10 people) using their own mobile phone internet to access our app in cloud.
Some of them are complaining that the app seems so slow they wanted to bounced the server apps & database. But I told them that the problem was their laptop or internet speed.
I explain to them to close other applications they are opening and that they might have plenty of other apps opened. I also advise to reboot their laptops.
In addition, I will ask them to measure their internet speed if the have minimum of 1Mb download speed using www.speedtest.net.
By what is the difference of having a 256Kb line or 512kb line or 1Mb line? if they have the same 1Mb download speed?
Thanks all,

How to measure the rotational speed by using rotary encoder and 1 counter?

I want to measure the rotational speed of a shaft, and I have below hardware:
1, a rotary encoder, with A,B,Z signals output;
2, PCI-E6363 card.
I do konw how to use such a encoder to measure the rotational angle by using the function "DAQmxCreateCIAngEncoderChan", but this time I need to measure the speed(rpm), as well as the dirction of the speed, which means a negative speed represent a CCW rotate direction.
More detail informations:
for the encoder, the A,B signal is 600ppr, and Z signal is 1ppr
the rotatinal speed is in range:　-300 ~ 5000 rpm.
some one suggested me that I can use the "DAQmxCreateCIAngEncoderChan" task to measure the angle firstly and then do the differential analysis with the angle. but I have to enable the Z index function, and it's hard to calculate when the shaft speed is fast then 2500rpm.
Anyone can help me on this issue?
Thanks in advance!

RobertoBozzolo:
Thansk for your reply. You are right that measure frequency to get the speed is the best way, but it's hard to get the dirction at the same time. You suggest me that "perform two angle measurements to get the sense of rotation", but I'm not sure I catched what you mean about this. I try to understand your opinion like this: distribute the signals to 2 counters, and start 2 tasks, one for frequency, the other for angle which used for deciding the dirction?
And by the way, in my application, the counter is limited:
I'm using PCI-E6363, which have 4 counters totally, and I have to measure 4 different speed sensors at the same time, so that means only 1 counter for me to measure the speed and the dirction.
RobertoBozzolo 已写：
To measure the speed from the encoder you can simply follow some of the frequency measurement examples that ship with DAQmx, considering that speed (rpm) is given by frequency (Hz) on one encoder output / 600 (ppr) * 60 (s->min) = frequency / 10.
Difficult is to add a sign to this measurement: frequency measurement gives you no information about sense of rotation, so I suppose you could perform two angle measurements to get the sense of rotation and then get the speed as above.

How do you monitor internet speeds in Snow Leopard?

I use an Apple Airport Extreme to connect wirelessly to the internet. It is connected to a Thomson modem (TG585 V7). I've recently switched ISP's and am in the process of an upgrade to ADSL2 and I want to be able to check my internet speeds to make sure I'm getting what I'm paying for. The thing is, I don't know how to check on the speeds. If I was connected directly to the modem, I "think" I could check the modem stats (or so I've been told), but that's not the case.
SO - does anyone know how to check internet up/down speeds using Snow Leopard?
Thanks.

A few things.
This speed test tool gives you the results in both bits and bytes (bottom of the page) so you don't have to convert.
http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Second, the Airport channel probably won't have much effect unless your signal is really bad. The reason is that your local wireless connection has a much higher capacity than your modem connection. The local network is usually not the bottleneck, your connection to the Internet is.
Also, my Airport base station has an "Automatic" option so that it picks the channel with the best signal. You could leave it on that.
Finally, you can monitor network throughput in real time by using your Activity Monitor and clicking the Network tab. You'll see Data received/sec and Data sent/sec.

After updating to 4.3 I can't connect to wi-fi because the "internet speeds are too slow". How much speed does this require?

After updating to 4.3 I can't connect to wi-fi because the "Internet speeds are too slow". So what speed does it need?

I called tech support and I got the same **** canned response, backup and reset to factory settings. Yeah right! Everything was fine until Verizon shoved the software update down my throat. I finally unchecked the box in Wi-Fi settings for auto network switch. However, I still get the "Your Internet connection is unstable" warning no matter what Wi-Fi connection I hit.
In a related story, I received a new or refurbished phone as my original SIII had AC/charging connection issues. I called probably three times to attempt to back up my data, went into two stores in attempts to have them transfer the information over, and all were too incompetent and inept to assist me. Only when talking to someone about this Wi-Fi issue, did someone actually know how to back up everything. Of course by this time, I had to send the new phone back because Verizon charged me $400 before I got everything squared away. What a colossal waste of my time!

Hi
:D you cannot increase internet speed!!!
It depends on your internet service provider and only the ISP can increase it!
If you have some issues with the data transfer speed then I recommend contacting your internet service provider!

How can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box

how can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box
provided the values tach out:2 pulses/revolution and maximum speed = 6000rpm

Hi. I tried your suggestion and I could not get it to work well. In
fact it worked better without the running average (which suprised me).
I also played with the number of data points but still could not get it
to work well.
Do you have any other suggestions on how I could sort this problem out?
I
have attached a screen shot of the signal. To recap, I'm trying to
measure the'y' position of the flat regions of the signal. The signal
does not have a constant level, so this 'y' position varies with time
in a non-unform manner.
I am currently differentiating
the signal and selecting the y position when the differential is equal
to zero (within a tolerance band).
In the screenshot, the
signal has been zeroed using the method I have described above.
However, it occasionally has glitches which may be caused when the code
picks up a zero gradient at a peak or valley in the signal.
I therefore need some kind of algorithm that only measures the position of the flat regions.
Many thanks
John

Any ideas on how to step up my internets download and streaming speed?

I just purchased a NEW computer 10 days ago and every since it's installation, my internet (specifically downloads and streaming) is slower than it was on my previous computer. Downloads on my xbox take a lot longer as well as it's setup in my wireless network. I live in Buffalo NY and have Verizon DSL with a westell 6100 modem and a Netgear router. I have done 3 speed tests in the past two days with these results:
#1 - 1.01 Mb/s download 0.65 Mb/s upload 50 ms latency
#2 - 1.01 Mb/s download 0.67 upload Mb/s 48 ms latency
#3 - 0.52 Mb/s download 0.62 Mb/s upload 58 ms latency
#3 being the most recent.
Any ideas on how to step up my connection speed? The stop and go of video buffering is driving me insane!

Does the speed improve when you remove the new PC from the mix? What operating system does the old computer and new computer have?

HT1222 My internet speed has slowed to a crawl after installing security update 2015-003. Any ideas on how to fix?

I have a mini mac with 8GB ram and running yosemite OS. I recently installed security update 2015-003 and now my internet connectivity have slowed to a crawl. sometimes if I turn wi-fi off and then back on the speed returns to normal but sometimes it does not. Any ideas what may be causing the slow internet speed?

Please check the speed of your connection on this site.
Then start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Check again. Then restart as usual and post the results.
