SpeedTest.net has recently been updated and is now better than ever. I wrote about these guys a while back as one of my Site’s Of the Week.
There are a ton more servers to choose from, so if you didn’t have one close by, there’s a good chance you do now. There are also a lot more ways to view statistics.
You still have the option to view your past results, but they’ve added graphs and other stats to give you more of an idea of where you are. My Global Rank was 74% and the country rank was 63%. My fastest download was 6802 kb/s and the average of the three tests I did was 4799 kb/s. Here’s a shot of my second test:
The other tab at the top is for “Global Stats”. This is really cool because you have the ability to not only see what other continents and countries are getting as far as speeds, but you can centralize your location.
I wanted to see how my ISP’s (Time Warner’s Road Runner) speed compared to the other guys in Dallas. The graph showed what I’m guessing are the two major competitors in Dallas which is Road Runner and SBC. Let’s just say SBC isn’t looking too hot. Road Runner clocked in at 5711 kb/s and SBC managed a measly 2918 kb/s.
Anyway, make sure you check out SpeedTest.net and play around with the new features, these guys have done a great job and it needs to recognized.
