The importance of Internet connection
speed can't be overstated when
using products like streaming
music and video services, downloading large
files, or even processing computer operating
system or virus security updates.
Movie download services like Movielink(R) (which
I am a big fan of) are especially dependent on
fast connection speeds. Full online movie
downloads are approximately 5 gigabytes in file
size! A slow internet connection can make these
large downloads unbearable for average users!
This free
broadband connection speed test offered
by AuditMyPC.com is an excellent tool for use in
simply verifying your internet speed, or trouble
isolating slow download issues.
Try it for yourself and see how your network
connection is performing. If you are on a
broadband connection like high-speed DSL or
cable, you should expect download results in the
1.5M area. In some cases, home DSL users could
expect to see 768K download speed depending on
your service plan.
If your test results come in lower than
expected, you may want to contact your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) to discuss the
results and possible seek solutions for
improving performance. But there are also other
issues which would impact the perception of a
speed problem.
Possible
configuration or hardware issues in either your local
Personal Computer, or remote web servers, can
also contribute to slow data performance. In
some cases, you may need assistance in isolating
these types of issues from PC support personnel.
Printers & scanners, cameras, iPods,
and other connected devices are using up
valuable resources on your PC. For hassle-free, reliable, 24X7
support that's also affordable, Support.com is
a great alternative to calling a friend for
assistance!
