What is a speed test?

When picking event spaces and hotels, our group (which includes lots of engineers) requires a good internet connection. For that, we need to check the ping time, the download/upload speeds and capacities, the ISP, and more. This information is required for us to make a good decision, as we cannot get work done if the internet is not of high enough quality.

How to get a speed test?

  • Go to http://speedtest.net
  • Click "Begin Test"
  • Once the test is done, click "Share This Result"
  • Copy the link, and paste it to an email back to us.
    • The link will look like http://speedtest.net/my-result/....

We made a video going through this flow, to clarify it. Check it out: https://youtu.be/5e9xQxjfRnM
