| Speed-O-Meter is a program that measures the TCP/IP speed of all interfaces on your machine including network adapters and modems. Use it to test your internet connection speed! It displays the TRUE transmission speed and does not average it like IE. Use Improve speed feature to optimize your registry settings to increase your TCP/IP speed!
Screen Shots:
This is the main screen of Speed-O-Meter. It
is displaying the total and current in/out TCP/IP speeds.
This is the settings screen. You can change
the view of Speed-O-Meter in many ways. You can also change the color of
the graphs.
This is the menu displayed when you right
click on the main screen.
Kilo-Byte and Kilo-Bit Info: There
is a significant difference between these two. The easiest way to get it
straight is to go by this:
Bytes - The speed that is displayed by IE and other internet apps as the
download speed. Thus with these hardware speeds you can expect this fast
of throughput:
56K (Modems) - 7K
128K (ISDN) - 14K
256K (Frame-Relay, DSL) - 28K
1544K (T1, Cable, Wireless) - 125K
Bits - This is more of the physical hardware speed. This displays the
throughput in relationship to the hardware throughput. Example on a 56K
modem if you were downloading at half speed it would display 23K instead
of 2.8K as IE would.
Of course don't be upset when your modem does not get 7K or 56K when
downloading, and don't be surprised when sometimes you get 9K on your
modem. This is just an overview. Text transfers faster than .zip files
because of compression and sorts. There are many documents on the
Internet to explain this and I won't here :).
