How do you connect to the internet? Dial-up? Cable? DSL? Did you know that a DSL connection is a high speed connection (640Kb/second)? Well, how fast is your connection? Perform DSL speed tests to see how fast it goes.

Your Internet Service Provider said you will have a 640 Kb/second connection? If you do a DSL speed test you will see that your Internet speed is a lot slower. It may/may not be the ISP's fault. They said you will get that speed, but your Internet speed is influenced by a lot of factors, such as: the number of computers the data has to pass to get to destination, the time of day (a big part of traffic is at rush hours, when big companies make transactions), network congestions, etc.

Permanently test your DSL connection to see what your actual speed is.

Visit a web site to perform an instant test. It will count the time it needs to download a file and then your speed will be shown in comparison with some reference speeds. If you want, you can use a DSL speed booster to speed up your DSL connection. Regularly do DSL speed tests and analyze the chart to see your average speed over a period of time. That is in fact your DSL speed.
