The Top 10.com broadband speed test is a free-to-use speed testing service that analyses your broadband speed in seconds. It can measure speeds on every type of broadband connection whether ADSL, cable / fibre-optic or mobile broadband (3G).

Please be aware that the speed we measure is only a guide and should not be seen as a definitive figure for your broadband connection’s overall performance. Factors that may affect the accuracy of your broadband speed measurement include:

Wireless routers – by its very nature, wireless broadband connections need to travel through the air via technology such as ‘IEEE 802.16’. Thick walled buildings and the physical distance from the router may affect your broadband speed. To that end, fixed line equivalents on the same broadband provider in the same building may be faster.

Network coverage – with 3G connections, being on the move can affect the quality and smoothness of your broadband connection. 3G mobile broadband is best-measured at a computer that is static (i.e. at home rather than in a car, bus or train)

Broadband network congestion / time of speed test – many broadband providers (especially those on ADSL networks) suffer from congestion at the busiest times (e.g. 8PM to 10PM), so broadband speed can suffer at these times and vary at others depending on the amount of users using broadband in your particular area.
