File to test download speed

Large variance in speed can be an indication of a connection issue. TiP enables users to see this information to understand how the data flowed as the test ran. The TestMy. Note: The automatic speed test is designed for desktop use. Although, if you change your device settings to keep it awake display on, focused on the test and plugged into power it works great on mobile devices.

TMN directly interfaces with your browser, without the need for additional software like Flash, Java or an app. This server-side approach not only makes TMN the most compatible speed test online it also makes for a much higher level of accuracy and enables TMN to passively detect computer issues that other speed tests fail to notice.

Note, your default system web browser is always recommended for testing. Although, TestMy. Simple as that. Some versions of Chrome are faster and sometimes Firefox is on top but usually one of those two browsers will be your best bet for performance.

Mac users, Safari also performs very well. This is a real world speed test. Unlike other speed tests that require third party applications, TestMy. This makes TMN's speed test more sensitive to browser misconfiguration and is an excellent way to highlight performance differences between web browsers. Less between you and the test is a good thing. Our competitors speed tests that run through flash or java have a higher CPU overhead and users report throughput bursting.

Our results are unbiased because TMN has no vested interest in the outcome of your speed test. We work for the Internet consumers not the Internet providers. For this reason our servers are hosted outside of all provider networks, in locations where the websites you visit are hosted.

Our bandwidth providers are the biggest names in the industry and our servers are hosted directly on some of the largest trunks that make up the Internet. Your ISP should be able to deliver clean, useable bandwidth to these common areas of the Internet. Render: 0. Tests sizes auto adjust up to MB depending on your Internet connection type.

Manual tests sizes over 12 MB have the automatic forwarding feature disabled. Randomized speed test data, each download test is dynamically created on the fly so no two tests are alike. Which provides unparalleled cache prevention. Enabling the multithread speed testing option on your download speed test can really open up your connection for maximum throughput.

Multithread isn't the default testing option because it has less detail and can mask certain connection issues. After the test you can choose a another server and location to perform further testing.

The Tele2 Speedtest service is distributed over multiple machines spread across locations in Europe. You can specifically select another test node from the below list if you want to perform tests towards a particular location. This page and the listed speedtest services are hosted on a number of servers spread through Europe see locations. A small script called cleandir is used to clean the upload directory of the FTP server to avoid filling the file system with temporary uploaded files.

TCP windows have been slightly tweaked to support higher throughput. Compression has been disabled. Anycasting is a technique where a single IP address is used in multiple locations in a network and packets are sent to the closest server. Tele2 speedtest service utilizes this to send you to the closest location in our network.

Do note how "closest" is not measured geographically but rather by what our networks thinks is the closest location. Our primary network metric is latency and therefore the closest network distance is typically the closest node geographically but there are situations where ineffecient fiber routing or cuts could lead to you being served by a node further away.

In addition to simply serving users using the closest server, anycast also enables basic load balancing and redundancy as users in different areas are served by their closest server, spreading the load over all of our installations. If a server should fail, users would be served by the second closest server. The servers can sustain throughput around 10 Gbps, as an example, here is a wget from another host in Tele2's network:.

Tele2 Speedtest. You are connected via IPv4 from
