Tools to Check Internet Connection Speed - Upload and Download Speed Test

Have you ever felt you are not getting the Internet speed promised by your ISP? If yes, you are not alone. Irrespective of the hard measures by Internet Service Provider, still many users don't receive the promised upload and download speed. It is true for various types of ISPs including Cable Net, DSL Broadband or Mobile Networks. However, we cannot blindly blame Service Providers because there are many factors affecting both upload speed and download speed on your device. In the case of 4G networks, data transfer speed varies with the total number of active users on the network at that time, the distance between you and the Mobile tower, quality of your handset, etc. In the case of Cable and DSL Broadband, the number of active users on the network in your region adversely affect the real Internet speed at the time. So it is better you don't blindly believe the claims of your service provider about their speed but you check it before choosing. You must check the actual upload and download speed at your location using internet speed testing tools before joining. This tutorial introduces some of the best free tools to accurately check your Internet Connection Speed.
