Hi folks, I need some help with my internet connection. For the past week, it's been painfully slow, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Downloading files takes forever, and even browsing is a struggle. I want to check my internet speed to see if it's an issue with my service provider or if there's something wrong with my setup at home. Does anyone know of any reliable websites or tools for measuring internet speed? And once I have the results, how do I make sense of them? Any advice on troubleshooting my internet connection would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been in your shoes, dealing with inconsistent internet speed. One thing that really helped me was conducting a thorough Speed Limited test. This tool is quite comprehensive. It doesn't just measure your internet speed; it also checks your network's stability and provides insights into potential issues. For example, it helped me identify that my router was too old and needed replacing. After running the speed test, compare your results to your ISP’s broadband speed test. If there’s a mismatch, contact your provider. Additionally, make sure no one else is heavily using the internet during your test, as this can affect your results. Also, try to run the test on a wired connection if possible for the most accurate results.
