Do you get the Internet-speed you pay for?
If you ask your ISP, the answer is always a “Yes”.
If you ask Internet users, the answer is “No.” Or a “Sometimes.”
It’s hard to say who’s right because there’s no way to measure the realInternetspeed.
Please note that Speedtest does not show the speed you receive from your ISP. It shows you how much you have left to spend. The more you use the Internet, the less Speedtest will display.
Just check out the curves below.
Some observations about Speedtest
- The more data moves through your data line, the less Speedtest displays.
- The speed varies every second.
- According to Speedtest measurements, you get higher speed at night than in the evening.
Speedtest every 5 minutes
To get an idea of what is going on, we built a meter that shows the speed from the customer’s point of view.
How hard can it be?
Of course you wonder. Why are there no real-time meters that show what you get for the money? You don’t buy tomatoes either without weighing them first. Or fuel without knowing how much you get.
But you buy broadband without measuring what you get. You pay and have to trust the ISP’s words that “You get what you pay for”.
At a time when we are talking about Industry 4.0, internet speedometers are missing! At a time when computers are figuring everything out – except for customers’ Internet speeds!
You’d think it was an easy number to produce. Especially when all electronics produce such numbers. But they don’t show up.
