Something about internet speed test!

Majority of Internet Service Providers say, they provide unlimited internet but if you check their websites and see complete package detail then you will find some Bandwidth CAP or Limit. That means "UNLIMITED INTERNET CONNECTION" is not really unlimited, most commonly Bandwidth CAPs or Limits are like 300GB to 500GB per month and if you will exceed that limit so they charge heavy amount.

Bandwidth is basically a sum of all downloaded and uploaded bytes, when you watch some video on Youtube, Facebook, Daily Motion, Vimeo or anywhere so basically it downloads multiple chunks of that video time to time in your computer and consumes large amount of bandwidth, similarly downloading large files from torrents consumes heavy amount of bandwidth because torrent client’s always download and upload bytes at the same time. So the bottom line is, that whatever you do using internet, like browsing, watching videos, listening music, downloading files, playing games consumes your internet and counts in your monthly quota. Hence we must have some way to track our internet bandwidth or usage so we can prevent exceeding our monthly bandwidth limit, the best solution to track your internet usage is TrackBandwidth, it has been designed for everyone, no matter if you are using your internet individually or sharing with others, for example at your home or in your office, TrackBandwidth will track each and every computer and will show you bandwidth consumption report by each computer, it has many more features see the following list of features:

Track Bandwidth Features:Live Speed Graph… That will always display on top to show current download and upload speed.Track individual or multiple computers.Shows Yearly, Monthly, Daily Hourly ReportBilling Report… You can set your internet billing cycle date and monthly limit in settings section, so it will calculate and display the bandwidth usage report accordingly.Current Computers Status… You can see which computer(s) using internet at this time.Warning and Alert System… It will notify you before you exceed your monthly bandwidth quota.

How Speed Test Works?So, the million dollars question... how speed test works? Before, answering of this question we need to understand what is the purpose of speedtest.net.pk website. Every two internet consumers out of five are not happy or doubtful about their internet connection, people complain they do not get proper internet speed which they should get according to Internet Service Provider (ISP). So, the simplest solution is to use Speed Test website to test your internet speed.

Now, let's come to the point. Very firstly Speed Test detects the closest server near your location then it PINGs that server to check the latency rate. For checking the latency rate Speed Test sends multiple packets to server using user's internet connection and in the response server resend those packets to the user's machine after that sending and receiving process completed Speed Test calculates the time of data receiving back from server in milliseconds that is called latency rate or PING.

Secondly, to check the download speed, Speed Test downloads multiple packets via multiple ports, during the download process it detects how many bytes has been downloaded in one seconds and then it converts them in Bits per second, because bps or bits per second is the unit for majoring the internet speed. Therefore, Kbps means Kilo Bits Per Second similarly Mbps means Mega Bits Per Second.

Finally, to check the upload speed, Speed Test uploads multiple packets to the nearest server and calculates all uploaded bytes in a second then it converts them in Bits to show the upload speed in bps (bits per second).
