Here you can measure the speed of your mobile or fixed internet. To find out, simply click "Start test", which will start a test of your internet connection speed during upload and download.
- Works on the networks of all mobile operators: Kyivstar, Vodafone, lifecell.
- You can measure speed in the networks of all Internet providers: Lanet, Triolan, Kyivstar, Volya, Datagroup, Ukrtelecom, Vega, IPNet, Fregat, Freenet, Pavutinya Telecom and others.
Monitor the speed of Wi-Fi and 4G networks
- Tests the speed of all types of connections. Measure the speed of VDSL, fiber optic, cable internet, 4G LTE, 3G.
- Measure the speed of your home or public Wi-Fi network.
- In addition to download and upload speeds, Speedtest by HiTech.Expert also determines the IP address and displays the provider, connection type, and exact location.
- The “Internet Speed” test also gives a time delay value.
You can then share your internet speed test results with one click on Facebook or Twitter.
What does internet speed depend on?
Internet speed is primarily affected by the technology of the transmission channel and the network load from other users. If the total bandwidth of the channel is limited, the more users are on the network and the more they download information, the more the speed drops.
The speed of your Internet connection is also affected by the restrictions on the tariff plan set by the provider.
And finally, there is a dependence on the loading speed of the sites you are accessing. For example, if at the time of loading the server can provide data to the user at a speed of less than 10 Mbps, then even if you have the maximum tariff plan connected, you will not achieve more.
Factors affecting internet speed
- When checking the speed of the server you are accessing.
- The settings and speed of the Wi-Fi router, if you are connected to a local network through it.
- At the time of the scan, all programs and applications running on the computer.
- Firewalls and antiviruses running in the background.
- Configuring your operating system and the computer itself.
How to increase internet speed
If your computer has malicious or unwanted software, it can slow down your Internet connection. Trojans, viruses, worms, etc. that have entered your computer can take up some of the bandwidth for their own purposes. To neutralize them, you need to use antivirus programs.
If you use Wi-Fi, which is not password protected, other users usually join it, which results in a reduction in data transfer speed.
Programs running in parallel also reduce speed. For example, the simultaneous operation of download managers, Internet messengers, and automatic operating system updates leads to an increase in processor load, and therefore the speed of the Internet connection decreases.
Actions that sometimes help increase Internet speed
- If you have a high-speed Internet connection, but the speed leaves much to be desired, increase the port bandwidth. It's quite easy to do. Go to the "Control Panel", then to "System" and to the "Hardware" section, then click "Device Manager". Find "Ports (COM or LPT)", then expand their contents and look for "Serial Port (COM 1)".
- After that, right-click and open “Properties”. After that, a window will open in which you need to go to the “Port Parameters” column. Look for the “Speed” parameter (bits per second) and click on the number 115200 – then OK! Congratulations! Now your port throughput speed has been increased. Since the default speed is 9600 bits/sec.
- To increase speed, you can also try disabling the QoS scheduler: Run the gpedit.msc utility (Start - Run or Search - gpedit.msc). Next: Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Network - QoS Packet Scheduler - Limit Reserved Bandwidth - Enable - set to 0%. Click "Apply" and restart the computer.
