Use the MWEB Speed Test to check the quality of your ADSL connection.

Speed tests are a great rough guide to checking the quality of your broadband connection, however the results can deteriorate the further away you get from the test server.  This is why we have decided to give you your very own speed test servers right here on the MWEB network – both locally and all the way to our node in London!

To ensure that you get accurate results always check that you have stopped all downloads and closed all other applications that might be using bandwidth and that there are no other active computers on your local network. The download and upload test results you get should correspond more or less with the speed of your ADSL line (as tabled below).

Please bear in mind that the results will almost always be lower than your actual line speed. This is due to low level network activity and variations in line quality.
