Which broadband speed test is the best?

The broadband speed test on this site is the Ookla (speedtest.net) speed test which is one of the most popular online speed testers (but without all the advertisements that slow your connection).

There are a number of other speed tests that you can use to double check your speed readings.

The top 3 broadband speed testers are:

  • Ookla – speedtest.net
    This is the speed test widget we have embedded on this website. One of the most accurate and most used internet speed testers.
  • Testmy.net
    Good comprehensive speed test results and comparisons. Downside of this speed test is that it is filled with Ads.
  • speedof.me
    Good simple speed test and clear results without so many Ads.
